I use insert lead heads for tubes , no need for paint . 1/8 use #1 or #2 hook . The 1/4 oz for bigger tubes I use a 1/0 hook. I like a good sized hook , we swing our fish in and forget the net .

Takeum Jigs
Personally I like the minnow head jigs when casting and retrieving. I feel that the minnow head shape gives the jig a little side to side shimmer when it is retrieved through the water.
