These are growing on me some, but need to get a grip on the hook size at #8, but then I remember there are guys that like a 1/8 Head with a #8 Hook so whats the problem? Anyway here is another one I like a lot with oversize eyes that I just wanted to try.

Thank you guys!
These 1/32 take 3mm eye and this one I put a 4mm eye, but this little head has kind of a large socket and the 4 fit marginally! I also have some info as to what that size is in fraction and I will come back and add that later when I get to it!

Don't be shy when it comes to the small hooks. I have landed fish over 2lb on a #6 sickle. The sharper hooks buried in the roof not the papery edges of the mouth. Those will do fine with a #8 sickle. Bugman had some he got from me on a trade, don't know if he still has them.
Yes I know a guide here that uses 1/8 oz with a #8 hook, says since he furnished the jigs if he uses these his clients loose less jigs. He catches fish so I know it works. Just nut use to it yet, but I guess since Roadrunners use a regular bend #6 hook on their 1/32 and I use then a lot, it should be fine! After all the #6 regular bend has the same gap between the point and shank as a #8 sickle.Quote:

That looks really nice. I fish a 1/32nd most of the time and is my favorite size jig to tie.
From who do I get some of them heads?
Those have to work!!
