I have been using Crappie jigs that have a #2 hook and am wanting to move up to a larger size jig. I've searched for jigs with 2/O hooks and have been unable to find any other than heavy weighted jig heads. I want 1/32 - 1/16 - 1/8 - 3/8 - 1/4 oz heads with #2/0 hooks. I want 20 of each size. I prefer painted heads, but I'm willing to take plain heads too. If anyone knows where I can buy or someone who can make them for me please let me know.
2/0 is 3 hook sizes bigger than #2 and putting in a 1/32 would be a challenge. Even a 1/16 might be too. Not saying it can’t be done but dang!
Could be done but one would have to mod the mold at the hook eye. Be a whole lotta hook!

It might be worth it to shell out the bones for a custom mold. iirc Redneck Rubber makes a jighead in 1/16 oz with a 2/0 hook, but nothing in 1/32.
Might be worth checking with Limits Tackle. I'm thinking I heard them say they could do this just last night on the SK live YouTube show.
When I use big hooks like that I pinch on a splitshot weight the hook. You will have numerous sizes to work with.
I think if I put a 2/0 in my 1/32 mold lead would go everywhere but where I wanted it. Maybe tungsten beads also.
That’s a great idea. I never thought about that. ThanksQuote:

Yeah great idea and I never thought of the split shot idea until I received those Daiwa hooks in the mail the other day. Heck I still didn’t even think of it to suggest it earlier in post! On the back of pack had a picture of how to do it.
