Why ? Hook size relation to head weight.
I could have posted this in the jig makers forum but thought it would get read more and possibly help more if posted here:
It seems to me, generally speaking, that most mass produced jig heads increase/decrease hook size according to the weight of jig head and I'm curious as to why ? I generally choose my jig head weight dependant on the conditions I am fishing. How deep I am fishing and how windy it is usually having the greatest impact on my decision.
With that being said, I don't often change bait size, I'm still fishing the same lure or jig body, I only want to manipulate how fast/slow the bait falls. So I'm curious why jig head makers and manufactures, especially in the mass produced markets, feel it necessary to also change hook size.
Am I alone in wanting a product offered from 1/32 up to 1/8 with the same hook size on all 3 heads ?
Can someone help me understand what I'm missing and why this is the common/normal practice in jig head production ?
