In collaboration with Addicted Fishing, Mustad introduces the Jig Head Pearl 1/16oz, built to bring refined hook technology to freshwater angling in the Pacific Northwest.

Key features

• 4.3 UltraPoint Technology maintains sharpness through repeated hooks
• Opti-Angle Needle Point delivers quick, crisp penetration
• 2X Strong construction increases durability against tough bites
• Black Nickel finish offers durability and a stealthy look
• Size 1 paired with 1/16oz weight for controlled depth and action

Why anglers reach for this jig head

The pearl color helps mimic baitfish in various water colors, while the compact jig head reduces snag risks around structure. Anglers find this combo beneficial for precise casts and natural, subtle movements that can trigger bites in clearer or slightly stained water.

Real-world use and technique ideas

• Pair with soft plastics like grubs or crawlers and fish near weedlines or current seams
• Experiment with a slow, steady retrieve or a twitch-and-pause cadence to provoke strikes
• Use the 1/16oz weight for shallow runs and higher rod tip action at medium depths
• Switch color and plastic type to match water clarity and forage runs

Durability and care

The black nickel finish resists corrosion from freshwater exposure, while the hook’s geometry is designed to hold sharpness longer between sharpenings. Regular inspection after heavy casts helps maintain performance across trips.

Whether you target trout up in river eddies, silver salmon moving through main currents, steelhead in cooler flows, or walleye near structure, this jig head offers a versatile option that could support your seasonal lineup with predictable action and dependable strength.
