Hello fellow crappie anglers, spending more time chasing panfish especially those big crappie. I mostly fish the northern Mississippi backwaters here in Wisconsin. I pitch and dip plastics in some nasty cover, which results in a lot of loss jigs. I'm having a really hard time finding a jig head that the hooks straighten easily. Mainly using 1/16 to 1/32 jigs with a #4 hook for Berkley 1" gulp minnows, which have been on fire for me this fall. I have found some sights that just have the hooks but no lead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. tight lines to all. Abster

May God be with you. Keep CALM and STAY ANCHORED with your faith.
Use your needlenose pliers and bend the new hooks straight and then bend them back to fish. It helps them straighten later.

A friend of mine, who is a life long Crappie guy told Me, He weakens the the strength of his jig head hooks by holding a lighter on the bend of the hook for 5 to 7 seconds, apparently it makes the metal loose its temper, which in the long run could help the user keep His temper when hung up!
