Favorite 1/16oz jig head?

[Les Young]

, bending hooks out after snagging up is wasting time , once compromised 99.9% of the hooks made are trash once you "fix" them. ..

we’ll Ketchn you haven’t saw the size crappie I’m ketchn. Believe me brush is the only thing that will cause my hooks to break & it sure ain’t the weight of those big old crappie I’m ketchn.

I make my own weedless jigs, ball and pony head in molds I modified to accept the weed guard, they can be a pain to pour but are worth the effort IMO. I also like large hooks, although I'm starting to rethink that some. Even small crappie have pretty large mouths, so larger hooks aren't a problem, at least for me.

Since I started using FFS I don't get hung up much and probably will make up a batch of jigs without the weed guard. I believe the horse head jig comes through brush with less hang ups than ball heads.

What’s everybody’s favorite 1/16 oz. head? Ball head or freestyle? Also regular or sickle style? I do want them to straighten when hung to avoid breaking leaders off constantly when livescoping in brush.

My go to in the brush.

1/16oz I’m using a size 4 Mustad 32746 hook. About 3x the cost of your cheap Eagle Claw hook but a dang good hook. As far as style of head, any will work but I’m either using my minnow style head or the new wedge head I designed.
