    Litewirehooker makes some good jig heads but there is no way I would go with the litewire hooks for long line trolling. Get them in the #2 sickle hook. They WILL straighten out when trying to get bigger fish in longline trolling. I can't speak to casting but they would probably work better for this.

    I would only go with the #2 sickle hooks!! The bigger hook is much better for long lining. I even pour that in my 1/32 jig head and as a result get a 1/24 oz jig head because of the bigger hook!

    Good report, now I don't have to drill out the 1/32 for a 1/24

    I don't do any long line trolling yet so I should be set for a while with the Litewire hooks.
