Malibio jigs are good for black bullhead.

In my opionion one of the most annoying fish, but if you want to catch one heres how. There really easy to catch in my lake. Use any kind of meat, i use hot dogs. Hook the hot dog and use a bobber. I caught 8 of these in one day while trying to catch a mudfish. The biggest one was around 17 inches, 2 pounds. Good luck!

To catch these fish, just use a treble hook and a plain ball of oatmeel. For the fastest catch use worms. My record bull head in Dracut, Massachuessetts is 4 1/2 pounds!
