The head on the right is a modified stand up head with the extra eye for tieing in a stinger hook, and believe it or not that other head looks like an old style walking sinker modified to a jig head!!!!

Cj - try spinning a hackle feather around the hook shank - then brush back the hackle - and tye off. I do that with tube jigs - check out the tutorials.

Good looking tye - bet it will stick em. You going to put blades on them?

Those are some innovative jig heads - someone customed a walking sinker to hold a jig hook and customed an Erie jig to a forward hook eye. Impressive outside the box thinking.

Had these since the early 90's , Used to just rig them with a stinger with a crawler or leech . They were hard on Walleye !

Oops, sorry about the double post - thought I was editing the original.

Haven't bought jig heads since I started pouring, but I do remember Northland had some creative ideas. I never actually used any Northland heads because the designs I liked couldn't hold soft plastics which were my go-to until JiggerJohn taught me how effective ties and props were.

When the Lindners sold out the company Ron said he wished he had a nickle for every one of those walking sinkers sold. The new Anglers Edge program is pretty good but it's on off an on with my cable system. In-fish just hasn't been the same without them.
