What size jighead and hook are you fishing?

[Spoonminnow]

A majority of the time I use a 1/24 oz ballhead with hook matched to body length. Other than that, I always have on hand these jigs with different hook sizes:
(The column on the right shows how many I have of each jig weight/hook size. What hasn't been updated on the sheet are sickle hook jigs and some metric size jigs i.e. 1 gram.)

My two main is 1/32 and 1/16 in that order. I use unpainted and painted. I always love the sickle hooks.

Id say the easiest choice for me would be 1/16 oz and a number 4 hook. But often i will fish between 1/500 oz that has a #16 to a 1/80 with a 10 or 12. But i usually never have a live bait option

1/16 unpainted with number 4 sickle hooks are my main baits for my technique of fishing. I’ll also use a 1/32 with number 6 hook when I’m bobber fishing. I tip them with a nibble.

Man can’t believe I have so many 1/8 oz jigheads with1/0 or 2/0 hooks,,,looks like I’ve been fishing for Godzilla,,,,lol…time to unload some if any bodies looking for fresh painted jigheads in pillhead or new age minnow screw locks,,,time to make some room for the future sizes…

1/64 gold trout magnet head w/mint trout magnet body is my go-to when the bite is slow. I'll use up to 3/32 if the bite is on. Not sure what the hook size is.

Anything under 1/32. My do it 1/32 ball head actually comes out as 1/43 with a #8 sickle hook and they stay buttoned up very well if you do t over tighten the drag. I tie jigs on these and also wrap some thread on the shank to use my tiny plastics from sliding off too soon. Lately,like the last few years, I think of a 1/16 as a heavy jig.

For years I used to buy the Bighead Jigs. They were 1/4 oz with a #4 hook. Designed and built by Kentucky Lake guides who needed more weight for fishing 15 feet deep or deeper. Their logic was just because you need more weight why do you also need a bigger hook. Other than that I really like a 3/16 oz head with a #2 hook. Sometimes a 1/4 oz is just a little too heavy. 8 to 12 feet deep and no wind I like to go 1/8 or 3/16 before I go to 1/4.
I remember jig fishing in bad whitecaps one day and was using the 1/4 oz Bighead Jigs with a Midsouth Pink/Chart tube. In 12 foot of water with all that wave action and I could still maintain feel with my bait as I caught nearly a slab on every drop. Wish I would have had my Ultrex back then!
