    The clear winner of most used is 1/16 with a #4 hook. Not my mainone, but more people use that than any other size.

    I usually mold my 1/32's on size 4 and 1/16th on size 2, now I also cast some 1/32nds on size 6. and use the same sizes on pony head, horse head and minnow head.

    Someone asked me about sickle hooks on tiny tube jig heads but I haven't tried any of those yet.

    That is the really fun part about molding your own, you can change sizes to try anything you want.
