Thread: What jig head to buy?

http://litewirehooks.com/order2.html

I like a size 2 hook in my jig heads, I seem to get more hook ups with the larger hook but you also hang up a little more often.

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.

You will also like getting most of your hang ups back. His hooks will flex enough to pull free from most snags. Don't worry they won't release a fish on you. I caught a 5 lb. Striper on one when he attacked my crappie rig.

I'm coming from the jig making forum! Where I found crappie.com I make my own heads! Put hooks in them that match the conditions! Long trolling deep, then mid depth and shallow! For dock shooting I do something different ! Love #2 hooks but they are heavy enough to effect the depth. I know within 4-6" how deep my jigs run! I weight them on my dads ole grain scales we use to use re-loading centre fire bullets . I do prefer round ball heads, just how I was self taught to use GPS for speed control. A sandy flat to experiment with when jigs when they bounced on the bottom at a controlled speedI knew how deep and made mental notes! And #2 hook is heavy enough to effect depth. Found hook ups were better and a wide gap help with loosing fish! My.02 LB
