SAF Shockproof Torpedo Silver Jig Head 7/0

Product detailed description

SAF Shockproof Torpedo Silver 7/0 is a heavy-duty torpedo jig head designed for longer, slimmer soft lures, sea spinning, Norway fishing and demanding situations where a standard coating takes serious abuse. The torpedo head shape helps the lure sink faster, track more steadily and stay cleaner in current, drift and deeper water.

The main difference compared to the standard SAF Bullet Torpedo range is the surface coating. While SAF Bullet Torpedo uses a more standard painted finish, the SAF Shockproof Torpedo range is built around an extremely durable impact-proof powder coating by Bright Baits. The specific finish used here is Powdercoating Impact Proof – Silver Glimmer, developed for jig heads, pilkers and other hard-used lures that are exposed to impacts, abrasion, rocks, boat decks, fish teeth and repeated handling.

The Silver finish is not just a cosmetic option. The Silver Glimmer surface adds a fine metallic flash that works well with natural soft lures, darker worms, slim shads and longer soft plastics such as ZOOM baits. In clear water it looks clean and natural, in deeper water it adds a subtle flash, and with darker lures it creates a strong contrast at the front of the rig.

The large 7/0 hook makes sense especially with longer lures where the hook point needs to sit further back in the body while still giving reliable hook-ups. The lower bait keeper helps the soft lure sit cleaner on the head and reduces unwanted sliding during repeated casting, sinking phases or retrieve in current.

SAF Shockproof Torpedo Silver is also a very interesting choice for tying saltwater streamers and heavier sea flies. If you spend time tying your own streamer, it makes sense to build it on a head with the most durable coating possible. This is where the shockproof finish becomes especially valuable – it protects the head during contact with rocks, bottom structure, the boat, hard surfaces and heavy use.

This jig head is strongest in Norway fishing, deeper edges, fjords, current, faster sink rates and situations where you want a long slim lure to run cleanly with high mechanical durability. If you need a more affordable working jig head for standard use, choose the SAF Bullet Torpedo range. If you want maximum surface durability for harder use, saltwater streamers or frequent contact with rough environments, choose SAF Shockproof Torpedo.

FAQ – SAF Shockproof Torpedo Silver

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 hard-working sea lures.

Why is the shockproof coating important?

In sea fishing, jig heads take a lot of abuse. They hit rocks, boat decks, metal parts, fish teeth and other tackle. The shockproof coating gives the head much higher mechanical resistance than a standard painted finish, helping it keep its surface and protective layer for longer.

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

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

Can this jig head be used for saltwater streamers?

Yes. The shockproof coating makes this head a strong choice for saltwater streamers and custom tied sea lures. If you are tying material onto the head, it makes sense to use a coating that can handle hard use and last as long as possible.

Why choose the Silver finish?

The Silver Glimmer finish adds a subtle metallic flash without being too aggressive. It works well with natural, dark and contrast soft lures, making it a versatile choice for clear water, Norway fishing and situations where you want a cleaner, less flashy head.
