I usually use 1/32 or 1/64oz jigheads, gold bronze or red hooks in size 6 8 or 10.I used unpainted heads for the longest time but now I paint them for tying(kiptail) and had a bunch painted for using with plastics but seldom use them. I also use sickle and regular hooks(Eagle Claw,Mustad).I also mold my own.
