    Man,I thought I had something going here,lol.Must be for some pretty tiny fish.I heated one up over my gas stove and the lead fell off,trying to powder paint it.lol.That's why they are bare.Too used to the 3/4 as of lately,I guess.

    i work with these sizes alot myself.few months ago i got some from jj too.i just tie em on my power pro 10 pound braid.the fish don't seem to mind the weight of the line or anything until they are hooked lol.just yesterday even,i caught a few dinks on a 1/80 jig i did.in the spring i even caught a brook trout on one of my 1/80 jigs with the moss green 10 pound power pro.i don't re spool my line often at all either.

    I can put both 4 and 6# test in my 1/80 and 1/100. Try cutting the line if you bite it, it does help. I use finger nail cutters and really sharp scissors when using really small stuff.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
