I like minnow heads 1/32, and they work great on baby shad. When you stop them, they fall like a dying shad. I use them with #4 sickle hooks; you won't find a sharper hook. #4's are not to small to miss fish and they don't get hung up as much. I use round and minnow heads jigs with the #4 hooks in 1/16. I pour my own jigs, if you fish a lot it's worth it. If you don't fish much, it's better to buy them from someone on here.
