SAF Shockproof Torpedo Glow UV Jig Head 7/0

Product detailed description

SAF Shockproof Torpedo Glow UV Jig Head 7/0 is a durable torpedo jig head designed for longer and slimmer soft lures, sea spinning, Norway fishing and situations where you need stable lure tracking, a faster sink rate and a more visible focal point at the front of the rig.

This version belongs to the SAF Shockproof Torpedo range, which differs from the standard SAF Bullet Torpedo heads mainly by its extremely durable surface finish. While the standard Bullet Torpedo range uses a more conventional painted coating, the Shockproof Torpedo range is built around impact-proof powder coating by Bright Baits. In this version, the coating used is Bright Baits Powdercoating Impact Proof – Glow in the dark green, a highly durable GLOW UV finish designed for jig heads, pilkers and other hard-used sea lures.

The main strength of the GLOW UV colour is visibility. This bright glow finish gives the jig head a much clearer visual point in deeper water, under cloudy skies, in low light, in reduced visibility and in darker marine environments. In Norway fishing, this makes sense especially when fishing deeper water, steep edges, strong current, drift or any situation where you want to add a clear visual trigger to the front of the lure.

GLOW UV works very well with dark soft lures, black worms, natural lure patterns and contrast softbaits. With darker lures, the bright head creates a strong visual contrast. With natural colours, it adds a more subtle light accent. On longer soft lures such as ZOOM style baits, it helps make the whole rig more noticeable without becoming overly aggressive.

The large 7/0 hook is intended for longer lures where the hook point needs to sit further back in the lure body while still giving a solid hook-up. The lower bait keeper helps the soft lure sit more cleanly on the head and reduces unwanted sliding during repeated casting, sinking or retrieving in current.

SAF Shockproof Torpedo Glow UV is also a very interesting option for tying saltwater streamers and heavier sea flies. If you spend time tying your own streamer, it makes sense to build it on a jig head with the most durable finish possible. On top of that, the GLOW UV coating adds a visible luminous point to the finished fly, which is useful in depth, low light, stained water and when targeting active sea predators.

This jig head makes the most sense in Norway fishing, deeper edges, fjords, current, faster sink-rate presentations and anywhere you want to run a longer slim lure in a stable and clean way with greater mechanical durability. If you are looking for a more standard working torpedo jig head, choose the SAF Bullet Torpedo range. If you want a tougher finish, a more visible GLOW UV colour and a jig head suitable for streamers or harder sea fishing use, choose SAF Shockproof Torpedo Glow UV.

FAQ – SAF Shockproof Torpedo Glow UV

What is the difference between SAF Bullet Torpedo and SAF Shockproof Torpedo?

SAF Bullet Torpedo is the standard torpedo jig head with a more conventional painted finish. SAF Shockproof Torpedo uses a tougher impact-proof powder coating by Bright Baits, designed for heavily used jig heads, pilkers and sea lures.

Why choose the GLOW UV colour?

The GLOW UV colour gives the jig head a stronger luminous focal point. It is especially useful in depth, low light, reduced visibility, stained water and in situations where you want to make the lure more visible without switching to a loud red or yellow head.

Is GLOW UV a good choice for Norway fishing?

Yes. In Norwegian fjords, deeper water, current and under rocky edges, a bright glow jig head can help improve lure visibility. It is especially useful where there is less light or where fish respond better to a bright target point at the front of the presentation.

Which soft lures does the 7/0 hook size suit best?

The 7/0 hook size is best for longer slim soft lures such as ZOOM style baits, larger worms, slim shads and other soft plastics where the hook needs to reach further back into the lure body while still giving a reliable hook-up.

Can this jig head also be used for saltwater streamers?

Yes. The shockproof finish makes a lot of sense for saltwater streamers. If you are tying materials onto the head and investing time into a custom lure, it is a strong advantage to start with a jig head that has the most durable finish possible. The GLOW UV colour also adds a more visible trigger point to the finished streamer.

What lures does GLOW UV combine well with?

It works very well with dark soft lures, black worms, natural colours and contrast softbaits. With dark lures, it creates strong contrast. With natural patterns, it adds a clean and subtle luminous accent.
