Maybe something like the Shad or fish jig hook?

Swim bait heads are tough go right now.  At a reasonable price anyway.  A "modified" do-it mold will be your best bet.  Were you looking for s glue on style, a lead barbed style or a wire keeper style?  At 3/8th or 1/2 oz.  I assume you are fishing a single lure instead of an "umbrella rig".  There should be more choices at the 1/2 oz. size.  Many use Swim jig heads; either with or without the weed guard.

im looking for some 3/8 & 1/2 oz heads. they kinda look like a half circle on the head. the hook just has to be stout enough to where it wont really flex & black nickle. doesnt need a weed guard

I pour several types of jigs that can be used for swimbaits, and in both 3/8 & 1/2 oz. Unpainted & bulk is no problem either & I use most any hook you like since I use all the brands.
