Number 6 jig hooks?

[Bronson]

Sometimes crappie seem to prefer the smaller baits. A #6 sickle still has plenty of bite. I haven't used a 1/24 oz. yet but I hear it is great for trolling and using w/float or when you need a slower fall.

I pour two different custom 1/24th chub with a VMC 9147 #6 and the Matzuo sickle (perfer the BC)#6. I also have the Do-it, had it pinned for recessed eyes. You cand trim off the barb on the 1/16th and the jig weighs ~1/24th - changes the balance a little - like a fish cares.... Theses jigs make awesome bellyspinners.

Got some killer bluegill lead heads; 1/100th & 1/80th roundhead using Crazy Anglers custom #12 Matzuo sickle and I pour a custom 1/64th chub (recessed 3 mm eyes) with the same hook - gimme a hollar if you want to try some.

Ledhead, can you post a picture so I can see what the 1/24 oz. looks like with the bellyspinner?

any custom molds of crazy anglers are top notch....Have 5 myself

Top left jig and bottom right jigs are Do-it 1/16th trimmed to ~ 1/24th using VMC #6 hooks – the other two jigs are custom chub 1/32nd, Matzuo and VMC #6 hooks



These jigs are custom chub 1/32nd, Matzuo and VMC #6 hooks

OOooops - 1st pic the jig in the top right is a custom chin spin chub - mold from CAT. The custom chub on the top left was poured using a mold made here in SoCal.

LedHead, thanks for the pics. I've never made any jigs with spinners yet but it looks like something I would like to give a try. Definitely looks like it will catch fish.

My molds take #6 on 1/32, and I have very good success with it's performance. As Pbug said, some folks like the bigger hooks for different reasons, but for the way I fish these do fine in 1/32 and 1/16.
