Thread: Favorite 1/16oz jig head?

ball heads run more true thru the water column , number 6 hooks help slow down the snags , smaller hook gaps , 2 crappie nibbles on the exposed hook makes it weedless and a light hand will get you thru it .....
a darting jig is much like a minnow and will find stuff that ain't a fish to hide in ....
big gap hooks are great if you are only after the big fish , but as well all know ,they tend to get hung up big in heavy cover, most folks just want to ketch fish not cover....
and in the end , bending them out after snagging up is wasting time , once compromised 99.9% of the hooks made are trash once you "fix" them , the temper is gone and if that isn't the case, they will snap off at the bend soon enough ....
now I am pretty sure some experts exist on this subject and know much better than me about all of it ....BUT ,,,,
I exist to ketch fish and have went about every ding dong direction in the pursuit of fish and after somewhere in the high thousands' numbers of failures with various hooks and weights and designs ....
the simple stuff I just recommended seem to work best for me , just saying.....
if you want to ketch lots of crappie .....
p.s. sickle hooks for the win ....

I've just started using the crappie nibbles. Is there a way to make them last longer on the hook, or do we just live with the mushiness quality of them? Heading to Pymy next week and will be trying different things. I really like the iFish jigheads with a japanese hooks.

we’ll Ketchn you haven’t saw the size crappie I’m ketchn. Believe me brush is the only thing that will cause my hooks to break & it sure ain’t the weight of those big old crappie I’m ketchn.
