Swung through cochran on the way home today and picked up a few(10) packs of the lightwire jig heads. I cant wait to try them out tomorrow!! I got two packs each of five different colors - they sure are purty - i almost hate to put them in the water. Im anxious to hang a stump in the morning so i can pull it loose and hopefully not have to re-tie a jig head on:D
You will be satisfied with these hooks!!
THESE HOOKS ARE AWESOME!!!! Fished all day with them and even caught a big hybrid on one. I did get hung up a couple times and the hook would come right out but no problem at all pulling in crappie! I am SOLD on these jig heads!!!
What brand of hooks are they?
If he picked them up in Cochran he probably got the from Crappie.com member, goes by: 'lightwirehooker' his name is (Curtis Hobbs). I bought some at Lake Talquin Lodge, then later bought some from Curtis. They are fantastic! Fewer break-offs, more fishing time. He has a heck of a good color selection & he cleans the eyes out. Will save time & money in the long run.
Looks like we got another converted over to the enjoyment of fishing without tying on another Hook/Lead/Jig everytime you get hung along with fishing right out of the package. I hate to get a hook out and have to clean out the eye before tying. Every Hook I get back, I say "I just saved $.35 cents".......and that happens a lot at Talquin.

Hey lightwirehooker, I just happened to learn from the best. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that, "If your line ain't in the water you can't catch fish"! I've been telling people about the hooks & Lake Talquin Lodge. I can hardly wait to come back. Fishing will start getting hot up here pretty soon. Good fish'n!!

Fishing should be good till 1st of June at Talquin, after that long wait until fall starts to appear. Hope to see you again soon. Don't forget all the pointers and remember.....don't pull in the fish before the fish is on the hook.........and don't be a jerker.

Great Hooks. I'm thinking about putting some on a plaque next to my deer heads just so I can see them more often!
Dog gone it quickhook if you're not sett'n the hook to hard or fast, you're not loosening your drag! Does lightwirehooker have to give you a talk'n too? Maybe you'll listen to him. I put the new HB 788 on today, found out I could do all my view setting in the simulation mode. I'll be ready when I get my new trolling motor. Just can't wait!! Might have to limp out with the old stuff. See you in May!

I like the pretty orange ones, and since I maybe the sorriest and laziest man on Talquin I couldn't get thru the day without the HOOKER'S jigs on the end of the line, He even told me once they were so pretty I did'nt even need to put a jig on.
Here is the process: (1) Get Hooks out of Package (2) Put in Mold
(3) Pour the Lead (4) Remove from Mold (5) Remove the Excess Lead (6) Inspect the Hook (7) Paint the Jig Head (8) Drill out the eye (9) Paint the eyes on Hooks (10) Bake the Jighead (11) Final Inspection (12) Package.........For every hook I pour/paint/bake/sell
