When fishing for crappie "why do most tie only jig heads?". If the jig head the most popular type of hook to use? What makes the Lead Jig Head the go to bait? When I go perch fishing, I have been using a #6 Aberdeen gold jig hook bent at a 90 (without the lead) or I use a just straight. Both hooks are used with some split shots or a bell weight attached above or below the hook depending on the presentation. I find tying to just the hook allows the hook to just float around?
