Modify that 1.75oz Lead Head! June 15, 2015 15:15

I received a couple questions and/or concerns regarding the 1.75oz BransonBaits.com lead heads. Some folks are concerned that there is not enough hook exposed out of the bait with these heads. These 1.75oz do have a smaller hook and specifically designed for rock fish like blues and cabezon who do have smaller mouths. But honestly, I don't have a problem hooking fish, even 30"+ lings. 

How can I expose more of the hook? File down the tops of the shanks!

Here are some of the benefits of filing down the shank tops on these lead heads:

• It will expose the hook a bit more, resulting in better hookups..
• It also puts a lot more plastic between the hook shank and the top of the bait, making your baits last longer.
• Also, if you're using thin plastic baits, obviously not ours... it tends to decrease the chance of the bait splitting.

I actually do this mod with all of my lead heads. I'm hoping our next generation of heads will have this option built into the mold.
