    Default What jig heads do you use?

    I don't want to derail another thread, so I'll just ask here.

    I bought a bunch of Crappie Magnet bodies, but their jig heads have hooks that are too big (IMHO) for bluegills. I'm also not much on paying premiums for jig heads.

    What I want is something with a long shank hook but probably a size 6 or 8 hook gap. I like the shad dart style jig head idea, but not the shape. I'm almost thinking I just need to buy some split shots and some jig hooks (no heads) and kluge something together. Ignoring the poor drawing (and hook style isn't important), here's what I'd like.

    The weight is forward on the jig head so that when you add a body, the jig isn't butt-heavy. Slap a metal bait keeper on it and I'm thrilled. Weight would be 1/32 and 1/16 with hook gaps that easily fit into a bluegill's mouth.
