Yeah. I meant attach one to the ballhead and/or remove it from either

Or pour your own Pony heads which then you can put any size hook or shape. They are legal to make for your own use. However if you just fishing with them and not selling them you can buy them from someone willing to make them. I have never hear anyone getting in trouble for buying them, just for selling them.

I have all of mine & my buddy's Y-guard jigheads made by Grousefly ... Paul Mullins, Vicco KY (P&S Custom Tackle) 606-642-3167 (or send a PM to Grousefly). It may take awhile to get them, though, as he takes/makes orders on a first come/first served basis and he's usually always behind (because of high demand for his products). He does give Crappie.com members a discount on orders of 100 jigs or more, or he used to, so ask him if that's still the case.
He also has the Y guards in different colors .... black (as pictured), clear (what I'm using now), and may even have red You'd have to talk with him and see what variations he can come up with.

I originally got them made with #4 bronze Aberdeen hooks, which worked just fine with the 1.5" tubes and Assassin Tiny Shad that I was using at the time. But when I went to using larger/thicker plastics, I asked him to bump that hook up to a #2 size so that I'd still have a decent gap between the hook point & body of the plastics. I have both 1/16oz and 1/32oz jigs with the #2 Aberdeen made by him.

He does make several different styles of "weedless" jigheads .... here's a sample :
