These jigheads have been such a game changer to my fishing. Before they came out I always had trouble spinning the 7” baitjunkie jerkshads at high speeds with other brand jigheads due to the slipping issue. With these new bait keepers they NEVER slip and increase my kingfish catch rate. I also use these jigheads with the 2.5” Grub and Minnow. Another great review Byron!
Hey Dylan, its great to read you've had the same experience as I have, particularly across small and large plastics. Thanks for the nice words and to see you here. Thanks for the support legend!
Hey Byron glad to see daiwa has thought of it all. Im sure id throw any of the bait junkie minnows on them 2.5 inch and up.bloodworm, oil uv ,the ayu's. Love that sticker idea.writing on the boxes takes up so much room.
Firstly, I have to say the wealth of information you share is worth alot more than catching fish. I am a newbie to fishing and secretly have been following all your videos, using your tips, techniques and lures which has helped me confidently go out and come back with some fish almost every time. This definitely looks like a great innovative product thinking from a fish and also the angler's prospective. And as a newbie I can tell you countless times fish strike the jighead mess up the presentation and no bites after that which is frustrating as need to fix them repeatedly. I usually been using the Zman grubs by recently got myself a baitjunkie Daiwa minnow 2.5 inch black and gold paddletail and took them out last weekend and was surprised how well they performed compared to the Zman grubs. Will be getting myself a set off these bad boys and test them out this weekend. Next innovation Daiwa should do is to make it easier to get any grub onto the jig head easily rather than putting them on every time you need to change it up which takes time and also some practice to get it right every time(Talking from Newbie prospective :))
I absolutely love the bait junkie jig heads. I have left the TT 1/28 for my Berkley crabbie and now use the bait junkie 1/30 jig head and the crabbie stays in place until plastic falls apart.
Love these jigheads, keeps all my plastics on so well even after catching fish with them! I will use Berkley Gulps and Bait Junkies on them. Keen to see the next video!!
I fish lakes for Mackinaw/ Lake Trout in the US. These predators love twist tail grubs! I use Berkley, Lost Creek, Kalin's and Mr. Twister. Thank you for making all your videos!
God bless bait junkie for these jigheads in the past I have used mostly gulp plastics and didn't use the bait junkie plastics much for the simple reason I had to keep reseating them almost every cast. Now I use them most of the time.
They are awesome jigheads and can't wait for the hidden weights to be released. I've used them with my prolure plastics, gulp, hurricane plastics and the bait junkie grubs and found that my deep fishing has improved heaps. I also paint my jigheads with tempt powder paint and the baitjunkie heads hold the paint the best out of any head I've used. Great vid mate 👌🏽
After using the jig heads for a while when the weight hits the structure after a while the weight will rotate and move but I definitely be using baitjunkies (risky critters) on these jig head because they rig so well with them compared to Tt.
❤😂🎉. I’m in I will be using these for Sooty Grunter, JP’s in the fresh of Nq and FNQ. Rubber of choice varies depending upon the area, depth etc… squidgies, z man, gulps, bait junkies… I think the 45 deg tilt on the jig head will be a game changer. I’m keen to try my next trip up into the fresh of NQ and FNQ. Awesome !!!
Great review Byron! Good to see you set up in the US too! I’ve swapped from the competition to Baitjunkie jig heads - a huge improvement. Have run all sorts of plastics - Baitjunkie grubs, minnows, hurricane sprats and keitech easy shiners and little spiders - all stuck fast and didn’t move. Can’t wait to see what the Daiwa Aus crew have next - hopefully a hidden weight version.
All the best in America Byron ! Been loving the new Daiwa jig heads i have completely changed my arsenal of all my jig heads to Daiwas jig heads no more plastics slipping off or rerigging at all, Ill be throwing my trusty Daiwa baitjunkie plastics and zmans on the incredible jig heads.
Great run down mate , I was unaware of the colour code so thx for clearing that up, bit of a Diawa freak when it comes to my gear so these match up perfectly with the Bait Junkie Risky Critters and 2.5" Grubs I use for flats fishing - cheers.
I would love using these on my plastics I use everything but the bait junkie are the best and with these big heads will seriously take my finesse game and also my snapper game
Nice review been using the other brands of jigheads like you said byron the plastics dont stay on gets very annoying after few cast all when fish attack it but when daiwa released there daiwa jigheads different ball game all together the plastics stays on been using them on all my plastics zman berkley and the like that means more cast less maintenance on plastic cant go past daiwa jigheads 👌👍🏆
Just bought my first packet the other day and love them. Motor oil or bloodworm 2.5 inch grub are flathead killers! Glad to have you back on the TH-cam Byron. Hope you are enjoy life in the States.
Great vid as always mate. I have to admit to being a bit of a plastics nut and have all sorts of styles from multiple manufacturers. But, 3 absolute favourites would have to be 2.5 inch bait junkie grub. 3 inch zman minnows and the 3.5 inch zman trick swimz.
I would use the jigheads with a daiwa baitjunkie minnow on a 1/16 ounce size for that slow drop and pause to pick em up around local bridges that I ride to here in WA.
I have started using them with Bait Junkies, ZMan and Holt Prawns. Love the information you gave in this clip and looking forward to learning more next week
Love your videos mate. Missed them while you were making the move to the US. I've tried these jigheads and found the keeper's positive, of keeping the plastic on, also has a negative as well. I tend to swap plastics out on the same jighead quite a bit when not getting any bites (i.e. changing colours or different action lure) and the keeper made it difficult to remove the old plastic, especially if the plastic is wet and has scent on it. Having said that, I do use both TT and BJ jigheads with zman grubs, BJ minnow and prolure clone prawns and both brands work well.
Been waiting for this video, great work champion, I have been slowly replacing my TT jig heads with Daiwa bait junkie jig heads and love using them, been using them on Clone prawn and once it's on, it doesn't come off which is awesome, and don't need to keep super glue with me all the time , and the lure not fouling up definitely helps with fish coming back to bite again, been using the light gauge hooks and landed some big flathead without the hook bending ,so happy with them, great product,
ahhh dude your comment is so generous. slowly replacing is the way i was going also. I've just put a big order in with the guys so i can bulk up over here in the USA. glad you are enjoying the product mate
wow, what a video. you never fail to disappoint, all of your videos contain literally EVERYTHING I need to know. You are soawesome and so are your videos. this is definitely up there with the most useful and best, but tbh you can never beat the "Which Lures When? Australian Fishing BEST LURES" video which was instrumental in my start of fishing. I have recently bought a new combo based off all the knowledge acquired from your videos. And this one especially has me craving for some of those jig heads. I'm a keen fisho from sydney that fishes the blackwattle bay area due to its closeness. This meaning I have entered the deep relms of bream(current fav), flathead and a bunch of pelagics. Im a big fan of daiwa and would defo chuck on some grubs, minnows, jerkshads and my favourite, the risky critter. thanks for the inspo byron, hope you are having fun in the US and continue to produce these amazing videos.
Hey lachie, super pumped you are getting something from this channel and it is helping you fish. Mate tight lines and I hope your fishing journey brings some great adventures.
Already got my hands on a couple of these jig heads. Dynamite on bream and flathead with the risky critters and grubs. Nothing ever falls down with them, it's amazing.
Haven’t looked back since these jighheads came out. I’ve recently been pairing these up with the 7” bait junkie jerk shad to target bigger flatty more consistently and not having such a big lure always slip off the jighead is such a breath of fresh air. Also had a couple of sessions using them with the risky critter plastic for bream and the end of the trout season. It’d be interesting to offer these in a more biodegradable packaging like you said, but also in a bigger quantity for those that do use tackle boxes for their jigheads, I know I buy more than a couple packets of the same size, so if we had a few more in a biodegradable packet we could theoretically have less waste. Good for for thought. Great review and keen to see the next vid on them.
I definitely love the bait junkie jig heads for the stretchy elaztec style plastics like the ZMans, bait junkies and so forth. I’d definitely try and chase the illusive 50cm Redfin on the bait junkie minnows in the sunny central Victorian winter for sure. Love to see ya back into the videos again Byron let’s goooo👌
I'd use them with any plastic but I'm partial to a keitech easy shinner. One thing I don't think has received enough coverage is the storage of these jig heads and specifically the packets. I couldn't be happier that single use plastic packets are on the hit list and hope more manufacturers will follow the lead. With the resealable packets being so good Daiwa have changed the storage market and presented the solution right under our noses in the D-Box SD and MD boxes which perfectly fit the whole packets of bait junkie jig heads. The silicone case is great but the simple act of making sure all products are compatible stands daiwa above most as a product development leader. As always good video Byron. Glad to see you on the water and making content again.
Red hot jig-heads, been slowly converting the kit to these as I can get my hands on them and as they become more readily available on the shelves. Prolure Clone Prawns + Diawa's 2.5 grubs have both been producing the goods on them 👌
loved the review on the jigheads keen to try some out if been a big user and fan of the TT headlocks but still run into the issue of the plastics sort of pulling off of the plastic especially after a few fish or bites so definitely keen to see how these go! and the most common plastic ive been using atm is holts prawns crabs and minnows have had some good success in sydney especially on jewfish with them.
Hey mate, I have been watching your videos for ages and they really helped me get into lures and got me those first fish on a lure. Your videos do really go a long way thank you. For those Diawa jig heads look like a dream. The engineering on them is so well done by Diawa. If I had them Diawa jig heads I would use the Diawa Bait junkie 2.5 inch paddle tail and the Z-man paddle tail in Motor Oil colour. And the tackle box look amazing, all my gear is in smabbles. Got stuff everwhere. And again thank you for great quailty videos. thanks mate wish you bent rods.
Hi Byron, Sounds like you are going well in USA , great to see you back posting TH-cam content. Love throwing any bait junkie or Z-man grubs on the new bait junkie jig heads. the new keeper is a game changer !
Really new at plastics fishing your vids are a wealth of information I've had some success with 2 inch and 2.5 inch grubs it has been a huge learning curve having been a bait fisher for donkey's years, so your videos are priceless . keep up the great work!
Hi byron, I’m pretty early and I’ve been using these jigheads for a bit now but I just love them I mainly through kietech easy shiners, daiwa 2.5’s both of them and also some Zman’s aswell which is what I usually use them for but good luck everyone, jack
@@ByronTeaHill thanks man I’ve just saved up for ages to buy my dream reel the revelry and am so happy and excited for it to come. Hope America’s treating you well
I love using them for fishing leather soft plastic like the 6.2 bait junkie minnow as this is where I used to have the most problems with lure slippage
I'm new to fishing soft plastics (and lures in general), after chasing bream for 50 plus years on bait. I have the Zman Grubz 2.5 inch and are definitely noticing the constant need to pull the plastic back up properly. This Daiwa Bait Junkie Jighead is my answer. Another piece to the lure puzzle. Looking forward to using these and continuing to get better on my lure journey.
I have been using these bait junkie jig heads with all of my plastics. I love them for the very soft bait junkies. I would love for Daiwa to make a hidden weight version too.
Great to see some non-biased content. Haven't used these jigheads but will definitely be getting some. I really like Keitech lures and anything from Holt production when you can get them as they are so popular.
Solid content! My favorite bait junkie at the moment is the 2.5" "Copper Flash" grubtail. The flatties absolutely love em and it seems to work well on other species as well. Cheers and good luck to everyone!
Byro,n I continue to LOVE your reviews, they are always comprehensive and seem quite honest. It appears I should be dropping competitors jigheads and giving bait Junkie jigheads a crack with my collection of Holt Prawns.
Looking forward to using them, been using the 3.2” bait junkies for flatheads and continually having to reseat the plastic, will be nice to not have to worry about missing a hit because the plastics slipped off
Hard to go past a Daiwa BJ 2.5 in motor oil for the Sydney creeks but also for the pro lure clone prawn under full moon too for some finicky species like bream.
Hey Byron, They are awesome jig heads. Love the Baitjunkie 3inch prawn in the Bloodworn uv. Thanks for the great vid, looking forward to see more of you boss 🤙🏾🍻
Can’t believe I missed this video until now. Haven’t had much fishing lately due to our baby girl still being overdue but once I can fish again and need some more jig heads I’ll definitely be getting these. Turtleback worms will be amazing with these, the 45 degree on the bottom with be deadly on snapper this summer.
I love the daiwa bait junkies and keen to pair them up with these jigheads! Definitely going to throw a motor oil grub and bloodworm minnow on them, they're the two I have the most luck with. Love your content mate, subscribed to you a little while ago, your reviews are 2nd to none.
I’ve been using them on the grub, minnow and critter bait junkie plastics and super happy with them. No more getting pantsed and I have changed plastics and done the thing where you have to pull up and over, no issue with doing it, just need to get used to it.
I’ve only just started using soft plastics so still have a lot to learn about what to use in jig heads, what type of plastics and colours etc etc. videos like these are so useful for us beginners to find our feet when it comes to this style of fishing. Thanks Byron
Thx Byron! Gotta be a Zman Midnight Oil 2.5in SlimSwimz or 2.5in Grub. Baitjunkie 3in Grub in Motor Oil also great. Good luck in the USA. I really appreciate the mention of the environmental aspects of packaging. Virtually no other fishing channels i've seen even mention this as a consideration, ever! IMO, absolute worst part of any fishing trip is seeing plastic left behind by folks out there on the water, especially anglers.
Awesome chieftain, loving the content after the break 👍👍. Easy one for me, my go-tos are the bait junkie 2.5" grubs (motor oil is king). Glad to see the jig heads getting some love, well overdue!
Excellent review and really well covered. These jig heads are such an obvious solution that shouldve been designed by TT and all the other jighead manufacturers along time ago. As we know this wasn't the case and is a massive slap in the face for those companies. Daiwa and its engineers have nailed the design and will take over the jig head market as its a big game changer. Daiwa knows that plastics are getting softer/elasticity and a better keeper was needed. (Such a easy/obvious/brilliant market opportunity) They are suited for any super soft elasticity plastic from bait junkie and zman. These are definitely what plastics I will/would use them for. However they aren't so great for plastics that have a firm texture. Can still be used but are unnecessary. I love them and they are my go to without any question. Great video byron!!!
Hey Byron, awesome video once again. Appreciate the content your putting out for us fisho’s. I normally use the bait junkies series for bream and flathead and would use these jig heads on the 2.5inch bait junkie grubs and minnows. great video once again 👌🏼
I love the Bait junkie jig heads they have honestly caught me so many fish than other brands. For sure gonna be pairing them up with the bait junkie minnows and the occasional holt productions range!!
Awesome content cool to see the background in the design and diawa Australia working hard for its anglers. I'd pair them with diawa bait junkie 6.2 minnow chasing Murray cod. Keep it up Byron!
Love the content and watching your videos since I started my fishing journey has definitely improved my fishing. These jig heads and are my go to for z man grubs targeting bream under pontoons and moored boats. I have been using them a bit for the clone prawns and holt prawns and has really improved my fishing catch rate as I don't have to consistently fix the profile of the soft plastic. Hopefully they release a hidden weight soon as i would be keen to try them out.
Way to go mate. Another cracking video. I’m a Daiwa bait junkie man myself. The go to 2.5” motor oil grub for me. Goes great on the 1/20 bait junkie jig head.
Another awesome vid Byron, I had the same issues with slippages on minnows & grubs alike which was a pain. However after changing to daiwa baitjunkie jigheads a couple of months ago I haven't looked back and it gives me greater confidence in working the soft plastics . I generally use them with the baitjunke minnows, grubs and squidgie wrigglers. Keep up the great content as you are one of my favourite youtubers with great info and keeping it real. 👍
@@ByronTeaHill Sounds awesome, I wish you all the best in the US bud. No doubt you will be conquering the bass over there like you were conquering the bream in OZ.
Currently use the TT and Berkley Jigheads and always have this issue, will definitely be using Daiwa with this new invention as it will stop the slip when fish bite the tail, resulting in way more hookups. I use Berkley Powerbaits and Gulp, Daiwa Baitjunkie, and Zman
They have been amazing I have been using them for the Murray Cod and have been impressed through weed and structure. Also the classic grub and minnow for snapper and flathead in PPB.
Cheers I’m not going to lie was excited to see the content again. Completely understand and hope the change hasn’t been too stressful on the family and you are enjoying the US.
Great stuff mate. Enjoyed the break Down of them. Have really enjoyed fishing with them and not using glue. They definitely have changed the game. Been using them with bait junkie grubs and risky critters. Can’t wait for the hidden weight jigs.
I personally love the bait junkie minnows, the segmented tail gives a great rolling action that cant be beat! I want Daiwa to see what they can do in the weedless jighead space.
Now you made me curious; the older Daiwa Jigheads I tried a few years back would let the softer type soft plastics slide off upon casting and so I ditched those quick. I mostly use Ecogear and Marukyu as that is what my local shop sells.
Haven’t used these yet, but seeing this video and being frustrated getting pantsed using the TT jigheads I will definitely get some and probs try them on the slimswimz and grubs .
I had been using zmans for a few years now but converted over to baitjunkies. I have just started using Daiwa jigheads and must say I'm extremely impressed and your vid highlights all the reasons why. Daiwa is really kicking it out of the park !
I’ve been flat out addicted to the diawa 2.5 inch baitjunkie, been incredible for me this winter! I’ve purchased some of the jig heads as well and have been super impressed. Perfect for rigging the SP’s
These jigheads have been such a game changer to my fishing. Before they came out I always had trouble spinning the 7” baitjunkie jerkshads at high speeds with other brand jigheads due to the slipping issue. With these new bait keepers they NEVER slip and increase my kingfish catch rate. I also use these jigheads with the 2.5” Grub and Minnow.
Another great review Byron!
Hey Dylan, its great to read you've had the same experience as I have, particularly across small and large plastics. Thanks for the nice words and to see you here. Thanks for the support legend!
Hey Byron glad to see daiwa has thought of it all.
Im sure id throw any of the bait junkie minnows on them 2.5 inch and up.bloodworm, oil uv ,the ayu's.
Love that sticker idea.writing on the boxes takes up so much room.
Great innovation. I use all plastics but primarily zman.
Great 👍

I absolutely love the bait junkie jig heads. I have left the TT 1/28 for my Berkley crabbie and now use the bait junkie 1/30 jig head and the crabbie stays in place until plastic falls apart.
I would use 2.5 inch key tech zmam and bait junkie minnows as well as grubs and bigger minnows for those same brands
nice!
Love these jigheads, keeps all my plastics on so well even after catching fish with them! I will use Berkley Gulps and Bait Junkies on them. Keen to see the next video!!

I also paint my jigheads with tempt powder paint and the baitjunkie heads hold the paint the best out of any head I've used.
Great vid mate 👌🏽
ahh dude! I was wondering if the powder paint stuck to them. awesome to know! hope youre having an easy shift tonight mate
Enjoyed this one and looking forward to the future videos with Tom explains the process. The Daiwa plastics on those Daiwa jighead a for sure.
After using the jig heads for a while when the weight hits the structure after a while the weight will rotate and move but I definitely be using baitjunkies (risky critters) on these jig head because they rig so well with them compared to Tt.
❤😂🎉. I’m in I will be using these for Sooty Grunter, JP’s in the fresh of Nq and FNQ.
Rubber of choice varies depending upon the area, depth etc… squidgies, z man, gulps, bait junkies…

I’m keen to try my next trip up into the fresh of NQ and FNQ.
Awesome !!!
Sounds great! yup the 45 is definitely a new concept. Thanks Paul. appreciate the comment
Great review Byron! Good to see you set up in the US too! I’ve swapped from the competition to Baitjunkie jig heads - a huge improvement.

cannot wait to try these jig heads with my zman bloodworm 2.5. Also them tackle trays as the TT containers always open up for me

Definitely on the baitjunkie minnows when chasing mulloway as it always hard to get a good hook set
Awesome breakdown on the jig heads have had good fishes with them so far . I’d use them with the grubs and small 2.5 inch minnows
I definitely love the bait junkie jig heads for the stretchy elaztec style plastics like the ZMans, bait junkies and so forth. I’d definitely try and chase the illusive 50cm Redfin on the bait junkie minnows in the sunny central Victorian winter for sure. Love to see ya back into the videos again Byron let’s goooo👌

Love the vid mate. Would love to see a boat tour video.
4 inch Berkley turtle back worm hopping along the flats slowly.
boat tour video... now that is a good idea
Red hot jig-heads, been slowly converting the kit to these as I can get my hands on them and as they become more readily available on the shelves. Prolure Clone Prawns + Diawa's 2.5 grubs have both been producing the goods on them 👌

If I had them Diawa jig heads I would use the Diawa Bait junkie 2.5 inch paddle tail and the Z-man paddle tail in Motor Oil colour. And the tackle box look amazing, all my gear is in smabbles. Got stuff everwhere. And again thank you for great quailty videos. thanks mate wish you bent rods.
Will, that's great to hear and its my pleasure. The channel was designed to exactly that. Appreciate your comment and thoughts! good luck!!!
Hi Byron,
Sounds like you are going well in USA , great to see you back posting TH-cam content.
Love throwing any bait junkie or Z-man grubs on the new bait junkie jig heads. the new keeper is a game changer !
I agree, that’s nice of you to say Jack. Thanks mate appreciate the support
Really new at plastics fishing your vids are a wealth of information I've had some success with 2 inch and 2.5 inch grubs it has been a huge learning curve having been a bait fisher for donkey's years, so your videos are priceless . keep up the great work!
Glad to help Dave!
Hi byron, I’m pretty early and I’ve been using these jigheads for a bit now but I just love them I mainly through kietech easy shiners, daiwa 2.5’s both of them and also some Zman’s aswell which is what I usually use them for but good luck everyone, jack
thanks Jack! awesome to hear you are getting into fishing. Tight lines mate
@@ByronTeaHill thanks man I’ve just saved up for ages to buy my dream reel the revelry and am so happy and excited for it to come. Hope America’s treating you well
I love using them for fishing leather soft plastic like the 6.2 bait junkie minnow as this is where I used to have the most problems with lure slippage
on the big minnows! nice
I'm new to fishing soft plastics (and lures in general), after chasing bream for 50 plus years on bait. I have the Zman Grubz 2.5 inch and are definitely noticing the constant need to pull the plastic back up properly. This Daiwa Bait Junkie Jighead is my answer. Another piece to the lure puzzle. Looking forward to using these and continuing to get better on my lure journey.
I have been using these bait junkie jig heads with all of my plastics. I love them for the very soft bait junkies. I would love for Daiwa to make a hidden weight version too.
Watch this space Ken! ;)
I typically use Keitech plastics, mainly the Swing Impact and Little Spiders are my go to! Thanks for the opportunity
Good luck!
Lovely vid Byron, learnt a lot today. Currently a Zmans guy so willl be getting those on some of these new daiwa’s! Cheers
Glad to help
definitely buying some of those , they would be perfect with the 3" holt productions swimprawns !
Great to see some non-biased content. Haven't used these jigheads but will definitely be getting some. I really like Keitech lures and anything from Holt production when you can get them as they are so popular.
They are very very popular aren't they mate! James has done well. Glad you enjoyed the content legend.
Solid content! My favorite bait junkie at the moment is the 2.5" "Copper Flash" grubtail. The flatties absolutely love em and it seems to work well on other species as well. Cheers and good luck to everyone!
What size jighead is best for 2.5 inch soft plastics ?
@@SzReality3D Not too sure mate but it would depend on the conditions you're fishing I reckon!
Byro,n I continue to LOVE your reviews, they are always comprehensive and seem quite honest. It appears I should be dropping competitors jigheads and giving bait Junkie jigheads a crack with my collection of Holt Prawns.
give them a go for yourself mate and see if they work for you!
Looking forward to using them, been using the 3.2” bait junkies for flatheads and continually having to reseat the plastic, will be nice to not have to worry about missing a hit because the plastics slipped off
Hard to go past a Daiwa BJ 2.5 in motor oil for the Sydney creeks but also for the pro lure clone prawn under full moon too for some finicky species like bream.
Hey Byron, They are awesome jig heads. Love the Baitjunkie 3inch prawn in the Bloodworn uv. Thanks for the great vid, looking forward to see more of you boss 🤙🏾🍻
Would definitely use these jigheads primarily on bait junkie plastics. Awesome vid cant wait for the next one.
Cheers legend, glad you liked it!
I make my own soft plastics these jig heads would be great to stop them slipping off the keeper
Can’t believe I missed this video until now. Haven’t had much fishing lately due to our baby girl still being overdue but once I can fish again and need some more jig heads I’ll definitely be getting these. Turtleback worms will be amazing with these, the 45 degree on the bottom with be deadly on snapper this summer.
I love the daiwa bait junkies and keen to pair them up with these jigheads! Definitely going to throw a motor oil grub and bloodworm minnow on them, they're the two I have the most luck with. Love your content mate, subscribed to you a little while ago, your reviews are 2nd to none.
really nice of you to say isaiah, comments like that keep me going! thanks legend
I’ve been using them on the grub, minnow and critter bait junkie plastics and super happy with them. No more getting pantsed and I have changed plastics and done the thing where you have to pull up and over, no issue with doing it, just need to get used to it.
'no more getting pantsed' - amen to that!!!!
@@ByronTeaHill haha, haven’t been in America for a year and you’re already dropping the Amen 🙏 lol. You’ll be a be gospel singing next 🤣
hahahaha
I’ve only just started using soft plastics so still have a lot to learn about what to use in jig heads, what type of plastics and colours etc etc. videos like these are so useful for us beginners to find our feet when it comes to this style of fishing. Thanks Byron
no problems at all mate!
Love the videos and will definitely use the jig heads on some bait junkie paddle tails for some 3 meterys
2.8's buddy 2.8s
Love the video 🤌🏼 short and sweet one here , 2.5 bait junkie minnow and a zman grub is my go too
zman grub has definitely been a staple for years
Definitely using them on the baitjunkie plastics
Thx Byron! Gotta be a Zman Midnight Oil 2.5in SlimSwimz or 2.5in Grub. Baitjunkie 3in Grub in Motor Oil also great. Good luck in the USA.
I really appreciate the mention of the environmental aspects of packaging. Virtually no other fishing channels i've seen even mention this as a consideration, ever!
IMO, absolute worst part of any fishing trip is seeing plastic left behind by folks out there on the water, especially anglers.
Hey Legend, you're one of the winner of one of the packs. Get in contact by replying to this comment, or hit me up on social media :) Congrats legend.
@@ByronTeaHill awesome thanks! Cant wait to try these out!
Awesome chieftain, loving the content after the break 👍👍. Easy one for me, my go-tos are the bait junkie 2.5" grubs (motor oil is king). Glad to see the jig heads getting some love, well overdue!
a break is always good! thanks for still watching mate and good to see you here
Love them with Zman grubs for chasing bream and white bait junkies when fishing off the rocks for bread and butter fish
tried and tested methods right there Zac, thanks buddy
Excellent review and really well covered. These jig heads are such an obvious solution that shouldve been designed by TT and all the other jighead manufacturers along time ago. As we know this wasn't the case and is a massive slap in the face for those companies. Daiwa and its engineers have nailed the design and will take over the jig head market as its a big game changer. Daiwa knows that plastics are getting softer/elasticity and a better keeper was needed. (Such a easy/obvious/brilliant market opportunity)
They are suited for any super soft elasticity plastic from bait junkie and zman. These are definitely what plastics I will/would use them for. However they aren't so great for plastics that have a firm texture. Can still be used but are unnecessary.
I love them and they are my go to without any question.
Great video byron!!!
Great video Byron.
I would use these jig heads on the Zman ST Grubz in Blood oil colour, they seem to catch everything.
Awesome Trav, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing the soft plastic you use
Hey Byron, awesome video once again. Appreciate the content your putting out for us fisho’s. I normally use the bait junkies series for bream and flathead and would use these jig heads on the 2.5inch bait junkie grubs and minnows. great video once again 👌🏼
Thanks Jeremiah, super pumped you liked it mate. appreciate you sharing your thoughts mate
I use zmans minnowz and grubs but my favorite lure is a 2.5 motor oil baitjunkie . I would use all of my plastics on the diawa baitjunkie jigheads.
Bait junkie minnows and grubs for blue spot flattys, would love to use these jig heads
Ive been using the 4.5" Bait Junkie Minnows lately for localschool mulloway. Superb action
thanks norm!
I love the Bait junkie jig heads they have honestly caught me so many fish than other brands. For sure gonna be pairing them up with the bait junkie minnows and the occasional holt productions range!!
lachlan thats great to hear mate.
Awesome content cool to see the background in the design and diawa Australia working hard for its anglers. I'd pair them with diawa bait junkie 6.2 minnow chasing Murray cod. Keep it up Byron!
big sucker getting the big bites! thanks legend
Keitech swim impact 👍🎣
Great subject. It's grievous with some plastics. They fall of or move. Thx Jig heads as you said so Important. Especially z man plastics.
Great Review Byron!
I'm definitely going to be using BaitJunkie minnows to chase some Trout and Big Flathead if I win the giveaway!
Love the video!!
Definitely using for bait junkies, holt prawns and froff baits
I'm glad you liked it Sabrina, hope you get into some fish!
I am and will continue using these jig heads for baitjunkie 3.5 minnows and madmics 4 inch ribbed worms, keeps them in place perfectly.
They do hey Kev! thanks mate appreciate the comment buddy
Awesome video! I had similar experience with TT.
For sure I would use some paddle tails or curl tail lures.. they are my go to!
Love the content and watching your videos since I started my fishing journey has definitely improved my fishing. These jig heads and are my go to for z man grubs targeting bream under pontoons and moored boats. I have been using them a bit for the clone prawns and holt prawns and has really improved my fishing catch rate as I don't have to consistently fix the profile of the soft plastic. Hopefully they release a hidden weight soon as i would be keen to try them out.
Hey mate, thank you for sharing your thoughts. so awesome to hear you are having some great success with them
For sure gonna get some of these to use with the Baitjunkie 2.5” grubs for some bream
bread and butter right there.
Way to go mate. Another cracking video.
I’m a Daiwa bait junkie man myself. The go to 2.5” motor oil grub for me. Goes great on the 1/20 bait junkie jig head.
Hey Maddi! great to see you back here. glad you enjoyed it!!!!!
Another awesome vid Byron,
I had the same issues with slippages on minnows & grubs alike which was a pain. However after changing to daiwa baitjunkie jigheads a couple of months ago I haven't looked back and it gives me greater confidence in working the soft plastics . I generally use them with the baitjunke minnows, grubs and squidgie wrigglers.
Keep up the great content as you are one of my favourite youtubers with great info and keeping it real. 👍
thanks dude, that comment really means a lot to me. I'll keep posting and take you guys along with the USA adventure. Deal?
@@ByronTeaHill Sounds awesome, I wish you all the best in the US bud. No doubt you will be conquering the bass over there like you were conquering the bream in OZ.
I use 2.5 inch baitjunkie grubs and 2.5 inch paddle tails with 1/8 oz baitjunkie jigheads and they are great for fishing in medium currents
100% agree mate, thanks for the comment
I love the Prolure clone prawns and 4inch paddlers. Would be great to see a hidden weight system design from them also.
I think it would be too mate, I’d guess it’s a natural progression right?
@@ByronTeaHill hope so haha hopefully before sept when I’ve got a comp on
I use mainly Squidgies 40mm or gulp sandworms, only just starting to use soft plastics so keen to learn to learn from tips and tricks. Thanks.
time on the water legend thats what will help you learn the fastest! tight lines buddy
Currently use the TT and Berkley Jigheads and always have this issue, will definitely be using Daiwa with this new invention as it will stop the slip when fish bite the tail, resulting in way more hookups. I use Berkley Powerbaits and Gulp, Daiwa Baitjunkie, and Zman
They have been amazing I have been using them for the Murray Cod and have been impressed through weed and structure. Also the classic grub and minnow for snapper and flathead in PPB.
hey mate, great to see you back and thank you for the support. really pumped you've been using them and have had the same experience as I
Cheers I’m not going to lie was excited to see the content again. Completely understand and hope the change hasn’t been too stressful on the family and you are enjoying the US.
Going to try some bait junkie jigheads for chasing bream with daiwa and Zman plastics, 2.5inch grubs and slim swims mainly
Awesome Ashley, keen to hear how you go
I would use the jig heads with my bait junkie minnowz😋 and would love the storage case too
storage case is awesome! thanks legend
Love the Zman Grubz in 2.5 motor oil. Will be interesting to try these
nice, yeah mate - give them a go
Great stuff mate. Enjoyed the break Down of them. Have really enjoyed fishing with them and not using glue. They definitely have changed the game. Been using them with bait junkie grubs and risky critters. Can’t wait for the hidden weight jigs.
Hey Steve, great to see you back. I hated using glue so am pumped i dont need to have it near the carpet anymore
I personally love the bait junkie minnows, the segmented tail gives a great rolling action that cant be beat! I want Daiwa to see what they can do in the weedless jighead space.
Now you made me curious; the older Daiwa Jigheads I tried a few years back would let the softer type soft plastics slide off upon casting and so I ditched those quick. I mostly use Ecogear and Marukyu as that is what my local shop sells.
Haven’t used these yet, but seeing this video and being frustrated getting pantsed using the TT jigheads I will definitely get some and probs try them on the slimswimz and grubs .
yeah man, grab a pack and try them for yourself!
Be amazing to try these with the zman paddle tail for snapper around Coffs here.
I had been using zmans for a few years now but converted over to baitjunkies. I have just started using Daiwa jigheads and must say I'm extremely impressed and your vid highlights all the reasons why. Daiwa is really kicking it out of the park !
Good stuff Troy, I really do agree with you and made the same journey myself
I’ve been flat out addicted to the diawa 2.5 inch baitjunkie, been incredible for me this winter! I’ve purchased some of the jig heads as well and have been super impressed. Perfect for rigging the SP’s
Good choice!
I was using the TT’s for so long until i saw these in the tackle shop- so much better!!! I have been using these with the zman plastics
Dude! it makes me happy when someone else has the same experience as I have. really glad you shared your thoughts mate.
Unreal detail they put into these jig heads !
