They come with a double lead keeper that does excellent job with a drop of super glue. Same. The hooks are small but extremely sharp. The shanks are also very short, allowing even 3-inch class swimbaits free movement and great action. These are finesse jig heads though, so play hooked fish accordingly. You can easily land giants with them, especially in cold water when they don't fight as hard, but if you horse them the hooks can bend out. Bump up to VMC Boxer for a little beefier short-shank, or Owner ultrahead inshores, 6th Sense Divine, or Dirty Jigs Matt Allen heads for full-sized heavier hooks. The bigger the hook, the duller the action on smaller swimbaits. Scott Jones

I caught a good amount of fish on different jig heads over the summer and I lost the most fish on 6th sense. Maybe I got a bad batch but all the hooks looked dull. Mega bass was the best but expensive. I am using the strike King one now and the biggest one I have landed on it was just under 9.

The swimbait heads have a wire keeper on the top and bottom of the hook shank.
