Bending the hook
Most of you may know this little Indian trick but I'm going to mention it anyway. I always bend the hook on my jig about 10 or 15 degrees so the hook tip is not aligned behind the head of the jig head. I don't miss as many bites this way. Thought we needed a post or two and who knows somebody may not have tried it.
It ain't nuttin but luck.

I have never fished them that small. Something else,one pair of those bobbin threaders now stay in my jig box. Sure makes it easier (or possible I should say) to tie on a new jig.Originally Posted by Jiggin_Joe

Will have to xspearmint with it this summer on bigger jigs after spawn and will go bend my little bitties NOW for through the ice. Thanks for the tip!

Me too...catfish hooks, crappie hooks, jigs, striper hooks, etc., etc. And I ALWAYS sharpen (touch up) a new hook before it sees any water.

bobbin threaders are a must when night fishing. I keep one on a lanyard style tool holder (fly fishing accessory), along with line nippers and hemostats. Always around my neck so I don't have to hunt for them.

Way back when I used to miss all kind of bites on my pin mins thru the ice. Seemed like it cost me about 6 waxworms per fish. Finally got my little # 10 snagged in a brushpile. When I got it back the hook was slightly opened. Bite was so hot and heavy I did not bother to " fix ". All of a sudden my catch ratio shot way up. Hmmmmm that was well over 45 years ago but now it just second nature to me. Small hook open up slightly.
