Predax Fishing MSM Jig Heads 17g 4/0

Predax Fishing MSM Jig Heads 17g 4/0 — Secure Softbait Hold at Depth

The Predax MSM (Meso-Scale Model) jig head with bead collar is built for chunkier softbaits that need a firm anchor point — giving you a reliable, repositionable rig that stays put during aggressive retrieves.

Bead Collar for a Rock-Solid Softbait Grip

The defining feature of this jig head is the lead bead (Wulst) moulded onto the shank. Larger, fuller-bodied softbaits made from firmer rubber compounds grip around this collar and resist spinning or sliding back during the retrieve — a common problem with standard shank designs. At hook size 4/0, the shank is long enough that the collar leaves plenty of room for the hook point to sit cleanly inside the bait.

Sharp Hook and a 17g Lead Head for Controlled Presentations

The needle-sharp hook drives home quickly even through tougher softbait material, reducing missed strikes. At 17g, this variant covers a practical mid-range depth: enough weight to stay in contact with the bottom in moderate current or deeper water, while still allowing a natural, slow-sinking fall that triggers predators. Lure sizes from around 5 cm upward pair well with this weight-and-hook combination.

Choose the Right Variant

The MSM range spans multiple hook sizes and weights to match your target species, lure size, and fishing depth. As a rule, the bead-collar design works best from hook size 1/0 upward — on smaller hooks the collar covers too much of the shank. Use lure size and water depth as your main guides when selecting weight.
