THE ANGLAR - BULLET MINNOW JIGHEAD 1.4g/1.7g/2.4g/3.5g/4.6g/7g/10g/14g WORM HOOK SOFT PLASTIC LURE

The Anglar Bullet Minnow Jighead 1.4g – 14g Worm Hook Soft Plastic Lure

The Anglar Tournament Class Bullet Minnow Jig Head (35496) is a streamlined weighted head for rigging soft-plastic minnows, paddle tails and other artificial baits. The compact bullet shape cuts through the water instead of pushing it, which is what makes it work for steady swimming retrieves, jigging and bottom presentations. A stepped lure keeper grips the plastic body so it does not slide down the shank, the Nano Point hook uses a fine needle-cutting point with a barb to hold after the set, and the integrated ringed line eye lets the head swing freely on the retrieve.

Bullet head or round head? A bullet (conical) head is nose-first: low frontal area, less resistance through the water, and a shape that slides over weed stems, branches and rock rather than catching on them. That makes it the head for swimming and dragging — the retrieves that move horizontally. A round or ball head has more drag, so it drops faster and sits nose-down on the bottom, which suits vertical work and hopping. This range is the bullet-profile option, in eight weights from 1.4 g to 14 g.

Key Features

• Streamlined bullet-shaped head — low water resistance, good over weed and timber
• Nano Point hook: fine needle-cutting point for quick, deep penetration
• Sharp retaining barb
• Stepped lure keeper collar that holds soft plastics on the shank
• Strong integrated ringed line eye for line, leader or a clip
• Balanced weighting for a predictable sink and a stable swimming posture; rinse after salt use
• Eight weights and six hook sizes (#6 to #3/0), matched by bait size and depth

How To Fish It

• Straight swim — Count the head down to the depth holding fish, then wind just fast enough to feel a paddle tail thumping. The bullet nose keeps the lure tracking rather than climbing.
• Lift and drop — Lift the rod tip and let the head fall back on a controlled line. Most bites come on the fall, so watch where the line enters the water.
• Drag through cover — Keep bottom contact and pull the head slowly through weed stems, submerged branches and rubble; the conical nose shrugs off what a round head would collect.
• Choosing the weight — 1.4–2.4 g for shallow, still, clear water and 2–3″ plastics; 3.5–4.6 g for general work in 2–4 m; 7–14 g for depth, current, wind and distance. Use the lightest head that still lets you feel bottom.

Bullet Minnow or Minnow Jighead? This is the light-to-middle range: 1.4–14 g on #6 to #3/0 hooks, suited to 2–5″ plastics and light to medium tackle. The Anglar Minnow Jighead 7g–28g is the heavy range — a painted, eyed fish-shaped head on a #4/0 or #6/0 hook for 5″ and larger bodies. Where the two overlap at 7 g and 10 g, choose by the bait, not the weight: a 3–4″ shad on the bullet head here, a 5″-plus swimbait on the larger hook of the Minnow Jighead.

Target Species By Region

• Southeast Asia — Hampala barb (sebarau) and peacock bass in reservoirs; barramundi (siakap) and mangrove jack on jetties and mangrove edges; small grouper (kerapu) off rock walls.
• North America — Largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie and walleye on the light heads; redfish, speckled trout and flounder inshore on 7–14 g.
• Japan & East Asia — Light game for rockfish (mebaru, kasago) and small seabass around harbour walls; the heavier heads for hirame and flathead off sand.
• Australia, Middle East & Europe — Bream, flathead and Australian bass in estuaries; queenfish on Gulf flats; perch, zander and pike in European lakes and canals.
