Thread: 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.

X2!

Bobo does good work. Crazy Angler has some bead heads also!

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.

Yeah, I'd planned on calling bobo in the morning but trying to make a plan first.

Half of your order is completed now and the other half will be finished up tomorrow and dropped in the mail box hopefully.


Thank you again for the order.
