    Default Jighead/hook shape/size for tying?


    I've got the powder coat, fluid beds, oven etc for painting and all the stuff for tying but I really don't want to mess with melting and pouring lead so I'm going to order them. Just wanting to know what shape/size head and hook you all prefer?

    Some of it is going to depend on how you fish. Are you single poling/dipping, trolling/pushing, long lining? I use 1/8,1/6 ball heads and pour my own 1/8 pony heads. Both 1/8's I use 1/0 sickle hooks. 1/16 I use #1 or #2 sickle hooks. Bobogreybeard on Oklahoma board can probably fix you right up with a couple of different styles and hooks.

    I use BoBos stuff. I like both 1/16 and 1/8 with # 2 Aberdeen and #4 sickle depending on what my head count is. Bobo does good work and his prices are right there.

    For all your needs in jig heads (all sizes), weights (all sizes), tied jigs, great assortment of plastics, rods (and discounted prices as well), anything you might need give Mike a call and he will fix you up. He has me and he will for you as well. Thanks Mike ......Ranger

    Thank you very much for the kind words.
