Tying 18 dozen if these again for Glynn at Reeds RV park by Osage Bluff. He came across these at Lake Fork and swears by them. All he uses. They are a 1/8 oz head with a #10 hook. Tied a ton for him last year and now doing another 18 dozen so they must work pretty good. Here is a pic of them next to a couple other 1/8 oz jigs with a #1 and a 1/0 sickle.

Good looking jigs, Jared, but I always feel more confident with the wider gap hooks....I've got some pretty small jigs and I'll use them when I have to, but if I think I can get 'em with a 1/0 then that's what I'm using!
I hear you Vic. I like a big hook also. I have been pouring some 1/8 with a 1/0 red hook and some with a 1/0 nickel sickle hook. The big sickle hooks work great on the Rocky Top and Bobby Garlond baits. I also poured up some 1/16 oz with a #1 for my regular tubes. I don't use a 1/16 very often but lately I have been catching a lot of fish shallow and on the drop. So they have did the trick.
I like a 1/16th when I'm casting & reeling.....went to Cabela's last week and found some 1/16th with a 3/0!!!! Heck that's big enough that the dinks won't be able to open their mouths wide enough!
knew some tourney fishers back in the late 80's early 90,s all they used waqs 1/4 oz with 4 and 6 hooks and it had to be red year round
good looking jigs man. them ought to catch some fish for sure.
Look great, I don't have the patience to make those.
I like those little hooks fishing through ice, about the only thing I can get them to bite on in the cold here.
Thats interesting for sure. I fish beds most of the year and use a lot of #4 or #6 hooks as I get hung up less. I drop down in the middle of it so big hooks just don't work as well for me. I like a bigger hook when fishing more open water.
Why does he sware by the #10 hook?
Not for sure but I believe it is the same reason you like the smaller hooks. One of those things he found in texas on a fishing trip and slammed the fish on it. So now is stuck in them.
