Northbranch Sled-Style Jig Head – Snag-Resistant, River-Ready, and Versatile for Super Plastics
Looking for a jig head that excels in rocky, snag-prone waters like the Susquehanna River? The Northbranch sled-style jig head is specifically designed to reduce snags, making it ideal for bottom-dragging techniques in rivers, streams, and structure-heavy lakes. Its hydrodynamic shape and horizontal posture help it glide over rock and debris, giving you more time fishing—and less time hung up.
This jig comes with two keeper options to match your bait type:
-
Barbed pin keeper for ultra-stretchy super plastics like Z-Man ElaZtech (Note: Barbed pin keepers are not compatible with Size #1 jig heads)
🎣 Perfect for River Fishing and Bottom Contact Techniques
-
Designed for dragging bottom in current, making it a top choice for Susquehanna River smallmouth fishing
-
Snag-resistant sled head shape slips over rocks, wood, and ledges
-
Ideal for finesse and power-finesse presentations when fish are holding tight to the bottom
-
Great for targeting smallmouth bass in clear, shallow rivers with complex structure
-
Excellent for pairing with swimbaits and creature baits
