Longline Jigs

[Rees Guide]

I know that the ones that longline use a Road Runner type jig head most of the time but what kinda grub or jig body do you use?
Thanks in advance for your input.

John, no expert here but I use minnow head or round head jigs that I have tied or will put a curly tail jig or I am using this year the Lake Fork baby shad (2 1/4 inch) here is a picture of some heads I just finished up painting eyes on and sealing them, also this is the curly tail jigs that I use. This company I help to get started as a vendor at Walmart when I was in mgmt there and he wound up starting in Florence Alabama and then got in the entire company nationwide. It was a mom & pop setup and now the son has took it over. Jimmy Edwards is his name and he is christian man and a great fisherman. Here is a link to his site

I get the hooks from a guy off ebay, I pour them up myself and paint them. Think the hooks are 1/0 and these in the picture are 1/4oz heads.

Larry is 1/4 oz what you normally use???

I will use 2 jigs, lots of time 2 1/4oz or 1 1/4oz and 1 1/8oz. I do know that some that fish at Pickwick only use 1/4oz all the time.

Correction, the above jigs were made using 2/0 hooks
