Strike King Tour Grade Belly Blade 1/8 oz Unpainted Jig Head – Upright Action, Weedless Flash

Elevate Your Soft Swim Bait with the Tour Grade Belly Blade

Strike King’s Tour Grade Belly Blade 1/8 oz unpainted jig head is designed to add a controlled, high-visibility action to your favorite soft swim bait. The system isn’t a typical underspin; the jig head itself acts as a weighted keel that rides ahead of a Raz-R-Blade Willow blade, connected via a ball-bearing swivel. This arrangement helps the bait stay upright and maintain a clean profile while delivering pronounced flash. The result is a balanced presentation from cast to retrieve, even as water conditions shift throughout the day.

The blade remains free to rotate thanks to the ball-bearing connection, while the line stays steady, reducing twist and preserving a natural line path. The included screwlock keeper ensures everything stays in place after you tie on your lure, so you can focus on rhythm rather than hardware adjustments.

Key Features

• Raz-R-Blade willow blade for vibrant, eye-catching flashes
• Ball-bearing swivel for smooth rotation and reduced line twist
• Screwlock keeper for secure, quick rigging
• Black nickel needle-point hook designed for durability
• 2-pack package for flexibility in setups

Performance and Real-World Utility

The keel weight shields the blade, making the Belly Blade notably weedless and easier to pull through shallow cover or light vegetation. The upright orientation helps maintain a clear silhouette and steady tracking whether you’re slow-rolling in deeper water or slicing through dense cover in shallows.

• Upright action boosts visibility and lure appeal across water types
• Weedless design reduces snag risk and frees up your retrieve
• Compatible with a wide range of soft swim baits and conditions
• Durable components ready for repeated casts and retrieves

Practical Tips for Best Results

Pair the Belly Blade with your favorite soft swim bait and experiment with retrieves to discover the cadence that yields the most flash and movement. The Raz-R-Blade’s rotation creates noticeable vibration, especially under low light or stained conditions, potentially increasing strike opportunities without overcomplicating your rig.

Note that results can vary with water clarity, depth, and cover, but this pro-designed system offers a reliable, adaptable option for anglers seeking a dynamic, easy-to-use rig that can adapt to changing spots and conditions.

Rigging, Maintenance, and Longevity

• Inspect the ball-bearing swivel for smooth rotation
• Keep the screwlock snug and secure after tie-on
• Rinse after use and dry to prevent corrosion

With proper care, the Belly Blade remains a reliable part of your tackle box, ready for your next outing.
