The Illex DeraBall is a hybrid soft bait crossed between a crank and a shad that is best described as a swimbait. Designed to imitate a range of prey, this small compact ball casts brilliantly and is designed for skipping round obstacles. When worked back on straight retrieves the seductive swimming action is sure to stimulate interest from any predators holed up in weed beds, lily pads, bankside snags or sunken trees. Originally designed for shallow water fishing there is nothing to stop you adding a tungsten ball to get it down deeper. The “Line True” attachment system runs your hooklength through a plastic tube so the lure is free to slide up the line when a fish is on. The DeraBall features an ingenious rigging system. It is supplied with a top quality treble hook with two prongs whipped onto the shank for attaching the hook to the lure and a rolling swivel so the hook can turn a full 360° eliminating the chance of hook pulls when a fish is on.

Here’s a simple guide for those wondering which jig heads with hooks fit which jig lengths. What determines the jig head to use is the hook size, as it decides where on the jig body the hook exits. Then you can choose different weights for the jig head depending on how deep you want the jig to go, or shapes that suit different fishing methods better.
There are also other types of jig heads without hooks, called 'Screw-In-Heads,' often used in pike fishing, where the smallest sizes fit jigs from about 13-14 cm and up.
Hook size is denoted by a number. The higher the number, the smaller the hook. Size 30 is a tiny hook, 4 is significantly larger. If there’s a zero after, e.g., 2/0, it’s even bigger. The higher the number before the zero, the larger the hook. We have a range from the smallest hook, size 30, to our largest, 18/0.
