Need some help identifiy/sourcing a jighead

[AllenOK]

A friend on another forum has a "favorite" jig that he and his wife like to fish with. His source has dried up. The main problem is the jighead itself. It's some kind of minnow head, and the top of the head is thinner than the base. The pic I saw has eyes, but I'm not sure if they're painted on, flat stick-on, or 3D stick-on eye.

I know I've seen this type of head before, but can't remember what it's called. Chuckanddeb's website doesn't have one listed, neither does CAT. Does anyone know what kind of jighead this is? Where could I get some?

Here's the pic. Sorry, it's not the best. This was supplied by the person asking for help.

If you could get a picture of one, one of us I'm sure will be able to figure it out.

Looks like the tye is done semi-auto style. Haven't seen the ul version with rubber legs - think it's been dis-continued. Chub heads work well.

Ok, I edited my original post and added a picture of the original jig. I'm thinking it might be a chub head?

I'm guessing its a buttlet head cast with 90 degree hooks instead of the 60 degree

The back end of the jig is flat which limits choices.
It looks like a lot of saltwater jigs I have seen but those are huge.

Should be interesting to see what it really is.

My guess is a custom mold made that head, and the designer was an astute observer of jig head function and marketable appearance. Be worth following your friend's source trail to the actual maker.

Kinda looks like a head that Gizit used to make.

Those look close, Quint, I saw something similar on Ebay as well.
