Max... put the #2 hook on the 1/32oz next time you will love it...Larry
Here's a pic of the jigs you were asking for.
The top 6 are 1/32 oz
The bottom 6 are 1/16 oz
The 6 on the left have #2 hooks
The 6 on the right have # 4 hooks.
I went to BPS and bought some jig paint (per Tbone)so here's a few of the finished products. I dressed a few in tubes so you can get the fishes perspective.
I think those #2 will be my favorite. Since the #2 hook is a little longer the weed guard isn't a stiff. The weed guards on the #4 seem a little stiff but I did catch some fish on them last week. If they are too stiff, I can trim a few fibers and I'm sure they'll be fine. I hope I get some time to really give them a test next week on vacation.
Only color I'm missing is hot pink.

The upper left 3 are 1/32 oz with a #2. I think you are right, I'm going to like those bigger hooks. I lost a bunch of really nice fish on those 1/32oz w/# 6 hooks that are standard on those smaller jigs.
I actually got 4 different jigs. 100 each
1/32 oz w/#4
1/32 oz w/#2
1/16 oz w/#4
1/16 oz w/#2
Those look GREAT! I got to get an order in to experiment with a few different options I have in mind. Do they make them with the ultra-sharp sickle hook? Larry, the shelf was an AWESOME catfish hole......lol. And nursery for those G-O-rillas I keep hearing about. Milkman put his mark on it for sure.
Hey Nightprowler64
The jigs worked great in WV. The 1st day the fish were scattered on 10'-12'flats and were easy pickings. I don't know if it was the fronts or what but they burried themselves in some twangles of brush most of the rest of last week. I was using 4# test and only lost maybe 4 jigs all week.
These fish ran between 12"-13"
even Mrs Crappiemax got a fish or two
Very nice pics. Where in WV where you fishing?
Crappiemax good looking wife... fish OK!
