That diet is why the colour matters. Anglers fishing this style rig imitation barnacle and pipe-worm baits, and a dark metal head on the nose of a pale imitation reads as foreign material to a fish inspecting food at close range in shallow water. A white head blends into the bait instead of interrupting it, so the rig looks like one object — and it does the same over real barnacles and pipe worms fished on the hook. The round profile suits a wide spread of soft baits, on a high-balance design tuned for a stable fall, and the hook is a strong, sharp pattern specified not to be crushed by a chinu's jaws and shaped to slide to the lip. It carries across to rockfish on the same structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite head so it integrates with barnacle and pipe-worm imitation baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-balance design tuned for a stable falling posture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong sharp hook that resists crushing, penetrates a hard jaw and slides to the lip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound head compatible with tubes, grubs, craws and crustacean imitations; also effective on rockfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes, all #2, at 1.8 g, 2.5 g and 3.5 g; five heads per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Sits In Decoy's Bottom Heads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSV-30W Chinu Head White\u003c\/strong\u003e — round head, white finish.
