Jig Hook Question

[azslabber]

Are there any baitholder jig hooks.You know that have the little barbs on the shanks ,like the regular baitholder hooks for worms.Anybody know of any?Like size 6 or size 4 or size 1.

If you do find those hooks let me know It is a good ideal.

So far,I found one that will work.After going through all my junk,I found an Eagle Claw 1186 RD size 4 baitholder that will fit into my Do It Crappie Jig mold JC-5-18.Which took a crimped Mustad 33803 size 6.The upper barb on the shank will keep the 1/8 oz. jighead in place.I think.I will pour a couple and check them out tomorrow.I'll let you know how it works.

Used lots of different brands of jig hooks and have never heard of any. If there are I'd like to hear about them.

I don't think that you will find any made like regular jig hooks, if you tie your own jigs it's easy to tie a barb on a hook. I lay down a wrap of thread then trim one end off a staple lay the long part of the staple along the back of the hook and wrap with thread over and along the staple and hook shank, tie off add a drop of glue, trim the leg of the staple to what ever length you like, I then bend that foreward. Works great and can be done faster than I can write about it. It holds plastic better than any cast on keeper that I have ever used.

Good idea slipbobber.I am fixing some of my bare 1/16's and 1/8 oz. for worms.

Took your advise slipbobber,great idea by the way.I got my pound of African Nightcrawlers today.So,I need to get ready to use a couple of them.Here's what I came up with.1/16 Ament Goggle Eye jighead,size 4 red hook and a staple,lol.Oh yea,a couple of whip knots also.First one,took a couple of minutes figuring out the easiest way,but,now maybe 15 seconds,lol.

Looks like you've got it, I usually trim that foreward part off but if you are using nightcrawlers you might want to leave it on. That will hold plastic tubes on really well.
