Overview
Elevate your finesse game and put more limits in your boat with the Swagger Tungsten “Flanders” Ned Heads. Featuring an ultra dense 97% tungsten construction, the Swagger Tungsten “Flanders” Ned Heads offer a more compact profile and increased sensitivity than Ned heads made from lead. Their mushroom shaped head design also allows your bait to stand perfectly straight up off the bottom, which is absolutely deadly when trying to tempt wary and pressured fish into biting. A 2x Mustad Ultra Point hook provides extra strength to handle big fish and less flex for positive hook sets on long casts while a wire bait keeper locks down soft plastics and holds them firmly in place as well. Covered in a durable powder coating and stamped with EZ-ID sizing so that you always know what size Ned head you have tied on, the Swagger Tungsten “Flanders” Ned Heads are the ultimate jig heads for Ned rig enthusiasts.

Comments: I like the zman finesse shroomz when a lot of structure is present just because the hooks will bend out on it and you can bend them back. I've yet to bend a hook out on a fish even after bending it back a ton of times after retrieving it from structure. A properly set drag along with a rig appropriate rod and line are your friend. That said, nothing beats tungsten for the little bit of added sensitivity, and when I'm not in an area that I expect to get snagged often, these are dynamite. Don't care for the bait keepers when used with zman plastics which is no different than any other jig head, so I cut it off and super glue the bait. You will catch 50+ fish per plastic this way, whereas with the bait keeper, your plastic will inevitably get shredded after a lot less fish.

Comments: Haven't fished with these much yet but I was very impressed with them after opening the package. I will probably continue to buy these if only for the fact that the weight is stamped on the head. Makes it super easy to identify what size you are using. The compact package of tungsten weights is worth the money when you have a rig dialed in (use lead if you are a beginner to save money). One drawback is the keeper sticks out at a major angle and it makes these impossible to use out of the box with soft plastics like the Finesse TRD. Easy fix though I just grabbed some needle nose pliers and squeezed the keeper to a more acute angle.

Comments: I am a smallmouth fanatic and these have become my go to tungsten heads. They are simply amazing. If you are not sure just buy them they are super sharp and durable.

Comments:These are my favorite ned heads, especially because they are tungsten. The tungsten itself makes a huge difference. The paint is pretty durable. It does chip, but lasts a while before it starts to chip. I love the hooks because they are a lot thicker than the zman ones and don't bend out at all.

Comments:I love these Neds! I particularly love how the weights are printed on the hook side of the head. I also love the obvious fact that it is tungsten. At the time I purchased these they were the only tungsten Ned rig option. I like the hook keeper, but i still do use superglue to hold the bait also, so I cannot judge that detail much. Would highly recommend!

Comments:These Flanders heads are so epic! The "mag" bait keep makes it possible to fish more finesse baits and not have to cary super glue on the boat! Always trust my Swagger weight and glad im able to now use a ned style jig from Swagger!

Comments:Great new NED head. Bites on the NED rig have always been so subtle they're hard to detect. The added sensitivity of 97% tungsten make fishing these much easier. The weight of the head is shown on the bottom so you always know exactly what you're throwing. Paint has been very durable, I haven't had any chips so far. This also comes with a great Mustad Ultra Point hook!
