Pretty easy to powder paint your own. I like sickle hooks myself. They are much harder to bend out and pull free in my opinion
What's everybody's opinion on jig heads for crappie? I'm trying to settle on a style head for soft plastics in the 2" range. I'm wanting to order some 1/16 & 1/8 oz. heads in bulk. I'm using 15lb. braid with 10 lb. leader & wanting something that will bend out if hung. I'm not sure about sickle hooks because it almost seems like i get less hookups on them compared to plain old cheap eagle claw roundball heads with aberdeen hooks. Want something cheap & affordable in bulk that will get the job done. What about painted versus unpainted? Give me some ideas guys.

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
Just buy unpainted round head, barbed collar, with eagle claw 570. I dont have issues bending them out of most structure with 10-15lb braid. I like #4 hooks for sub 2" baits and #2 for baby shads and bigger on 1/16. All 1/8 i get are #2. I can help get you some at cheap bulk price if you are wanting to go that route, just shoot me a message.

I agree with Kevin. I don't like to go smaller than #4 in the 1/32 or 1/16 jigs. I like a #2 in my 1/8 oz. jigs.
CATCH A BIG-UN
I am a big fan of the sickle hook or a light wire hook for crappie the light wire in a number 2. It a J bend. The sickle I like in a #4. I fish with a painted head, but I sell way more of the unpainted.
If you want a hook that will open up when hung a light wire hook is the way to go.

Why such a big hook? Only the tip just past the barb goes in the fish
