Yeah! Pretty much the only jigheads I use.. The Atomic "Seekerz" range of jigheads are good quality too and well worth a look at

Just the plain ones with the ball head. The ones that big w sells for like $4.50 a pack.

+1, i find some of the normal berkleys have harpoon sized hooks... Nitros or squidgy JH's are the go for me (unless chasing lizards)

Dude the berkleys are more then fine. Another good option are the squidgy round heads.

Especially if your not looking for a darter head like the nitro ones.

I use the cheap berkeley powerjig jig heads from big w . Great value an good range of sizes and weights. I have straitened the hooks on squidgie jig heads and destroyed to many plastics on the retainer hooks. I also love the nitros and the tt's . Looking foreward to trying the atomic range of jig heads soon.

The berkley ball heads are good and they have (or had) a darter head as well. When you go to the really heavy weights there are some thicker wire ones there but up to about a 1/8th are pretty good value really with a good range of weights and hook sizes as well.

I "stock up" when they're on sale and "top up" when they're not.

If I have had an issue with their quality - I dont remember it - but I dont put that much stress on them. Mainly fresh water and pinkies.

Topped up on 1/32's in various styles last night.
