Some jigs

Here are a few of the jigs I used the other day at the lake . The only bad news for that day is I lost "Texaco" to a big ole crappie . Texaco is the white head orange body red tail handtie hawk that has been hurting fish for 2 weeks now btw .Hope you enjoy the photos and for sure variety is the spice of life .
on a side note a raw thumbs up to the crew here and ….
KABOOM is the word yawl :highfive

Mighty fine looking jigs. What size head is that? 1/8 oz?

Very nice, Ketchn! Great jigs and great fish.

Very good, I love the colors- now to the vice!

Great Jigs Ketchn, Nice fish...and the only way to get a thumb like that is lippin them fish...Congrats

I wondered why everyone called it "Texaco" brother , thanks for the information on its history , sure is a dandy jig in slightly muddy water
they take it with meaning quite often and deep as well . I put in a request for a few more to have on hand yesterday .

I think the handties were all 1/16 and the multi color i used with the plastics as well , but the hook sizes varied a bit . I don't know as I get them just to test them and pay little attention to what anything on any package says . its all about how it feels and looks to me and is it going to do what I want it to do to get bit .
I rarely use anything heavier than 1/16 . sometimes I think 1/16 is way to heavy as a dip of the rod tip can even feel like a light take when the jig quickly settles . and for sure hook sizes matter , a big hook makes a jig heavier than a small hook with the same weight lead ….food for thought
also a large body plastic will perform well with a 1/16 head and larger hook than a handtie with the same 1/16 head and large hook
there is a method to my madness although it remains clinically undiagnosed my friend ….:Rofl
