Overview
The preeminent jighead for systematic finesse fishing, swimbaits, and soft jerkbait fishing, the Z-Man Finesse EyeZ Minnow Style Jighead calls on a low-center-of-gravity head with Z-Man's grooved Stabiltrack design to maintain perfect balance at all retrieve speeds, or when fished vertically. Its oversized 3D eyeballs highlight the jig’s color patterns, focusing predatory attention and creating a pronounced strike target. Built around custom needle-point, light wire black nickel hooks for ultra-smooth hooksets, the Finesse Eyez comes in a range of sizes and weights to boost anglers’ success in nearly any situation. Adding angler-appeal is a welded wire keeper that facilitates easy, secure rigging of ElaZtech softbaits, locking them firmly into place. An ideal option for vertical fishing, finesse swimbait applications, or convincing finicky fish to bite, the Z-Man Finesse EyeZ Minnow Style Jighead is a sure way to find a limit.

Comments: They work well with z-man products. I called z-man to complain about the hooks. Wish they used a gamakatsu hook. Having said all this I'm still buying the jig heads

Comments: These heads are everything that they are advertised as. I bought different sizes and am very happy with the results and the quality. Can't say enough about them! Rick

Comments: I just started using these with the Zman Minnow Zs. I've been a little nervous about the hook but I haven't had one pull off yet. Earlier in the spring I used the thicker hook with the Diesel Minnows, the one with keepers on the top and bottom. I caught a 5.68 yday with this little bait. I throw it on an inexpensive Shimano baitcasting reel ( 12# Sniper) and a med. 7' rod. I can throw this 3/16 bait a mile. This really helps in covering the crystal clear water in Lake Michigan. I don't know how to send a picture or I would.

Comments: I didn't like them. The shape is akward and didn't fit flush with my keitechs.

From: Sam: Idaho Falls, Idaho 6/15/23

From: fishyogutt: CA 2/25/23
Comments: Perfect for Alabama Rig ! Great quality.
From: Austin: 2/3/23
Comments: Love These jig head matter of fact I love all Z man product. Because they float and you can catch fish all day without changing bates the minnow style jig head looks good with swim baits, they're thin and cut through the water Different size hooks for different size swim baits
From: Gary: Mount Juliet 1/6/23
Comments: Fav umbrella rig hook! I fish gin clear water in NY; seem to get more bites with these given all else equal, especially around smallmouth.
From: Jason: NY 11/30/22
Comments: Good hook, stays sharp. The head makes it look real, small mouth seam to like it too.
From: Ralph: New York 11/9/22
Comments: Nice hooks to use with swim baits, holds the fish fine, and give them a real look. Catch Smallmouth all day with them.
From: Ralpoh: Staten Island 10/31/22
Comments: Just the ticket for small swimbaits and grubs. Great light wire hook for those tight jawed smallmouth and the small keel on the head helps your bait to swim straight and true.
From: Alan: Virginia 10/24/22
Comments: Everything is good on this jig other than the wire bait holder can come off if there is a weak weld. Only had that happened on one so far though.
From: Jim: North Carolina 10/18/22
Comments: Great size heads for the slim swimz and the only qualm on have is that the line tie is not more forward like a swim bait style. I know it's more designed for vertical style fishing, but suits up pretty well. Hook and holder are perfect size and sharp.
From: Caseman: 8/21/22
Comments: Everything about this jig is exceptional....the hook, it's sharpness, the shape of the head, the large eye, and the balance! My only complaint is the little soft plastic holder on the bottom of the hook. It is far too little, and perhaps they should add another on the top. It does work okay when you first put the plastic on, but after several casts or a fish bite or two, it fails to keep the plastic where it needs to be. Fix that issue, and it's perfect.

Comments: Perfect zman jighead for ultralight fishing
From: JOSEPH: Texas 8/12/22
Comments: Big fan of these in the 1/12 and 1/8 size in the few weeks I've been using them. Took a new to fishing friend out today with one of these tied on and he almost bent the hook out on a ML rod with 7lb test on a 14 inch bass so just wanted to note that you should be using the appropriate drag and fighting the fish correctly with these or any of Zman's finesse jigheads. If you are used to horsing fish in on heavier hooks and do the same with this jighead, you will lose fish, and it's not the jighead's fault.
From: Unknown: 8/9/22
Comments: Didn't expect much from these but I've been throwing tons of 2.8/3.3 fat impact and 3 inch easy shiner recently and trying new jigheads since I'm out of the stuff I've been using for years. These are honestly pretty great. Only got the 1/12oz and it's perfectly suited for 3" easy shiners. I personally remove the keeper and super glue my baits to the jighead, but that's preference. About to order some 1/8oz as well. I'm not sure these will be my go to finesse jighead going forward, but I've liked these better than anything else I've tried so far.
From: Unknown: 7/30/22
Comments: Great jig head. 1/8 oz paired with a slim swim is perfect. Hook wire is flexible, but with a proper drag is not an issue. The hook can dull if you burry it into structure as expected of thin wire. Balance is awesome for a straight running bait every time.
From: Unknown: Colorado 7/20/22
Comments: The light wire hook is perfect for smallmouth on light line. The head design helps the bait cut through vegetation while allowing paddle-tail swimbaits to track straight with a tight wobble. Securing plastics with superglue is a must as the keeper will slice through your bait on the first hook set. I use these frequently, catching multiple 4 lb SM this season, and haven't experienced one hook failure. I definitely recommend giving these a try.
From: Hardy: Washington 7/16/22
Comments: I love these. High quality materials and paint job with realistic eyes. Caught a bass the first time I used it (I had it set up on a pencil bobber with a tube bait as a trailer and I was going for bigger panfish).
From: Unknown: 6/5/22
Comments: These jig heads are high quality. I like to use the 3/16oz on my swim baits. The paint takes a beating and still looks fresh.
From: Bryan: Coalgate, OK 5/21/22
Comments: The 3/16 ounce 3/0 pairs up BEAUTIFULLY with the Storm Largo Shad in the 3" size. This combo produces a tight wiggle that also lets the head "wobble" back and forth during the retrieve, which looks super natural during the retrieve. Cast past cover, bring by, and HOLD ON!
From: John: Tennessee 5/19/22
Comments: I've been trying to find the perfect jig head and these are a 9.5/10. they are offered in many hook sizes and weights which is a big plus for me. the wire is perfect thickness to be nice and strong but not overly so. the only gripe i have is that the bait keeper is great for zman baits, but not so much for regular plastics. overall, these are the best ive tried
From: Jake: Unknown 4/26/22
Comments: Catches bass in Mission Bay, don't know if it catches more than regular jig head, yet they look nice, realistic, well made, and the paint seems durable. They glide well too. Hope they will be on sale someday and I will certainly buy more.
From: Cris: San Diego, CA 1/26/22
Comments: Great jig, stays level, has a nice gliding motion through the water column. The detailed eye also gives hungry predators something to key in on. Partner these with the 3.5" Streakz and you've got a deadly multi-species combination, especially on clear bodies of water like Lake Michigan
From: Anthony: Chicago, IL 12/1/21
Comments: These jig heads rock. They pair perfectly with a Z-man slim swimz. I was able to fish a single jig head all day, snagging rocks and wood without it going dull.
From: Jacob: Martinsburg, WV 10/14/21
Comments: I have these in 1/0 and 3/0 in all weights using zman slim swims.The beauty of this combination is the ability to fish all depths of water,by that I mean getting to the bottom where my target species are. Very solid hook that handle hard mouth fish with ease.They present as a natural bait fish and if these dont catch fish then they are just not hungry.
From: Robert: Tuross Head, Australia 9/23/21
Comments: My go to jig head. Love the profile and the colors are spot on.. Goes perfect with Zman 3 inch paddle tail minnow..
From: Thomas: Naples, FL 9/16/21
Comments: Works perfect on the Zman Diesel Minnowz. No complaints from up North!
From: Sidney: Yarmouth, MA 9/3/21
Comments: Attractive jig head catches fish quite nicely paired with 3.3 kietech only problem swimbait tears and won't stay in place after 1 or 2 fish because there is only one thin prong to hold lure
From: Gary: 6/15/21
Comments: Overall, happy with this jig head. The green pairs nicely with keitech's smallmouth magic color.
From: Steve: Las Vegas, NV 6/9/21
Comments: Very nice bait. I use them on Z-man diezel minnowz and they work great. The unique head shape of the jig really fits the soft plastic well. I also think the paint job is great and has good eyes. The hook is strong and sharp and can ensure I wont break the hook.
From: Gavin: Bellevue, WA 5/25/21
Comments: Great jig heads with an exceptional hook.
From: Josh: Georgetown, KY 5/19/21
Comments: Great jig head, keeps the bait horizontal when vertical jigging. Works great for cast and retrieve.
From: Jeff: Johnson City, TN 5/18/21
Comments: I've found that the Z-MAN FINESSE EYEZ 1/12 OZ 1/0 is perfect for my smaller swimbaits for my UMBRELLA RIGS. I also use it individually for smaller swimbait applications when I have to match the hatch.
From: Jesse: Monterey Park, CA 4/2/21
Comments: Great jig for small swimbaits and grubs. Works best with Z-Man's Elaztech plastic. Softer plastics from other manufacturers tend to tear on the keeper. Finish and hook are of excellent quality.
From: Joe: Visalia, CA 3/28/21
Comments: Excellent Jig Head paired with Zman products. Catching bass, stripes, and about anything that swims in the winter 25 to 35 feet deep
From: Bill: Alabama 3/6/21
Comments: Good quality and nice colours. Perfect size for 3" shad like Keitech.
From: Graziano: Mantova, Italia 3/1/21
Comments: Pair this up with Zman Finesse Shadz and its money. Very nice jighead.
From: Ryan: Benson, AZ 1/4/21
Comments: These jig heads are perfect for a downed sized A-rig! Very sharp and realistic with good barbs for holding your baits on all day! Life like eyes are great for those tough days when the fish are real finicky!
From: Don: Reedley CA 12/30/20
Comments:The perfect finesse swimbait jighead. Works great with the minnowZ and the slim swimmers. Very deadly combo for them finicky bass or ones chasing bait.
From: Keith: Hockley, TX 10/22/20
Comments:I like the light wire hook, great penetration even with light line.The eyes are very realistic and the biggest positive. The overall shape of the head does make it a little bulkier than some of the other jigheads I fish, wish it were tungsten.Overall great product.
