    have you tried your hook test with the circle hook off set just alittle?? They now make them for jigheads. But you have to pour them on your own

    No but would love to. Now whoever came up with that was thinking outside the box. I do not have one of those type jigs but wish someone that does have them would do the test and comment on it. Thanks for information.

    ithe hooks are in the barlows catalog there a mustad 39994 D circle hook. It has a 60 degree bend instead of a 90. We always take needle nose pliers and off set the circle hooks alittle for cat fishing. I dont see why you couldnt do it with these.

    Doesn't have to be circle, a regular jig hook that is kirbed will work too. Additionally having the hook point downward, rather than parallel also helps.

    Can you give us source for the line. It is not available here.

    I get mine from Hammonds Fishing, they are a local store but they would probably ship it to you if needed, basspro and cabelas has it I am pretty sure

    Found it at Bass Pro. Quick question, what reel do you use? The 1 pound size only comes in a 100 yard spool, for that matter Bass Pro does not sell the 2 pound in any size but 100 yard spools. You cannot find braid anywhere here because the number on complaint is that it is too hard to tie. I do not use it and know nothing about it but someone needs to do a thread talking about the pros and cons of braid.

    I fill half my spool with mono then put on the braid. I prefer pflueger president reels but it really dont matter what reel. you must use the backing on the thin braid or you wont have enough to fill your spool as its such a thin line. If its for getting jigs back when they are stuck go with the 10-2. its plenty strong to bend a hook.
