looking for really Light jig heads

[flymoron]

I am trying to find some 1/80 or 1/100 oz. jigheads with crappie length/size hooks, but I cannot find them anywhere. when I find the really light weight ones, they all have small/short hooks. Does anyone know of a source?

thanks

You can’t just use a bead or a cone?

Those size heads are to small for a crappie hook. You may as well go weightless.

I have pretty good luck just crimping split-shot to the hook just behind the eye. That way you can add any amount of weight to any size hook.

What do you have against a #6 hook?

Fly tyers rarely tie on jig heads. Instead, they slip a tiny metal bead or cone over the hook to provide weight. That would definitely work for you, but Clint’s suggestion above is the easiest and cheapest.

I did that when I was a kid, and I crimped the split-shot sinker over a section of Peacock feather to make the "jig" ... and I actually caught a small Largemouth Bass on it.
