Hey,

Just wondering if many of you guys use berkley jigheads??

Cheers

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

do you mean the nitro range or just the plain berkley range??
i use nitros a lot and have caught me some decent fish.

I use them a lot.

Good jig heads for the money.

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

Oh, well in that case no. Spend a few extra bucks and get some nitro's

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 love the squidgy jig heads cheap as chips and they do the job well. nitro are also good but i seem to hook alot more fish with the squidgy jigheads.

+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)

maybe get a smaller size then? They do come in a wide range of hook sizes.

I am with you all the way Paps. Love the berkley ball head jigheads. You can afford to stock up on them and not feel too guilty.

I mean the guage mate... In saying that though, my local W now has berkley rounds with a finer guage, mixed in with the thicker guage packets. . so im not sure if it is old stock???

I'm a big fan of the normal berkley jig heads. Great price and seem to be good quality.

I get the Nitro heads from big w and kmart..owner hooks cant go wrong..

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.
