    Default Favorite Jig head for soft plastics?


    I have started losing confidence in my go to. Love the minnow heads from Bass Assassin I can find at Academy, but the hook is really small. Also, the 1/16s look no different from the 1/32s, so if they get mixed up(mine did) you really don't know which you're using.

    Strike King has some lightweight heads with larger hooks, but they are round head and quite pricey. I see some sickle hook minnow head stuff on eBay, but never used those before. I guess I'm just looking for suggestions, or comforting words re: my missing of bites lately.

    Sickle hooks work very well! As far as jig heads, I have used both different styles (round and minnow) and didn't notice a huge difference. The minnow does seem to flutter down where the round just goes straight down. In my experience color seemed to be more important than style, make sure you have some pink ones! Those have done the best for me in all different water conditions.

    Been seeing lots of pink talk. Will try to find some Garland in hot lips to try out beside my standards of Blue Ice/Monkey Milk/Cajun Cricket.
