Thread: jig head and hook size

going to ordering some 1/32 and 1 /64oz jig heads for crappie, what is a popular hook size.

#6 or #4 are pretty popular. Depends on what your doing with them. Some like larger hooks.

#6 for 1/32

#8 for 1/64

+1. That’s what I use as well.

For crappie I would go with a larger hook .
I fish mostly for gills and prefer a smaller hook .
Just recently , I started using a size 6 sickle hook in 1/32. I was afraid it was going to be too big , but it hasn’t been a problem .
I’ve used an 8 sickle in the 1/80 jigheads before , but I’m tying up 1/32’s now , so I can cast them without using a float .

I personally like a number 2 sickle on all my jig heads. I do have a few number 4's

I catch tons of crappie on #8...and #10. Just went yesterday and netted over 100 fish...about 80 crappie...using only a #10 hook.


Regards

10’s, 8’s, and 6’s (size 8 is my sweet spot)

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a 1/64! 1/32 I poured once and used a size 4. I would say a size 4 or 6 for 1/32 and size 6 or 8 for 1/32.

Best I remember from left to right 1/64 #6, 2 packs of 1/32 #6, 1/16 #4, 1/8 #2 all sickle hooks.

I think one pack of the 1/32 were #4 hook maybe.
