Description
The RX Roll Head is a jig head built around one specific action: a smooth side-to-side roll on the pause.
When fish won’t commit to a standard retrieve, this is the one I reach for.
What It’s Built For
That top-heavy design does something a standard ball head won’t — it tips and rocks between jig strokes.
That means your soft plastic is moving even when you’re not cranking.
It’s built for:
- Adding action during the pause
- Keeping the bait alive between retrieves
- Triggering bites from pressured or hesitant fish
Why It Produces
The roll is the whole point.
Most jig heads go dead on the pause — this one doesn’t.
It:
- Tracks true through current
- Hangs in the strike zone longer
- Adds that extra beat of action on the fall
That’s what gets fish to commit when they’re not fully eating.
Best Pairings
The RX Roll Head is designed to work with slim-profile baits:
- RX Slug — clean profile that lets the head’s roll translate
- RX Dragon Tail — adds controlled action on the fall
- RX Spike — compact ned profile, especially effective in the 2.5″ on finicky fish
These pairings let the head’s movement come through clearly.
How I Fish It
I fish it on a slow, controlled retrieve with deliberate pauses.
- Let the bait fall and watch the line
- Pause often — that’s when the roll kicks in
- Keep it near structure where fish are holding
The pause is where this head does the work.
When to Use It
- When fish aren’t committing to a standard jig head
- When bites are happening on the pause or fall
- When you need subtle movement without extra bulk
- When fishing pressured areas
How to Rig It
- Thread your soft plastic onto the hook and nose it snug to the head
- Match bait size to the head for a balanced profile
- Focus on slim-profile plastics to maximize roll action
