Choosing the right size of jig hook forms important part in fishing. The hook should have length between 30 and 50 percent of the lure. When it is more small than third part of the lure size, risk that fish miss.
Rather, too big hook limits the move of the lure. You must know that hook sizes are not fixed and range according to makers.
How to Choose the Right Jig Hook Size
Standard hook sizes operate backwards: size 1 or more small are the biggest. So size 1 pass sizes 2, this pass 4, thus down. Hook of size 32 answer for tiny flies to fresh holes.
Many fish require different sizes. Bass hunt well by means of 1/0 until 3/0 hooks. Crappie commonly seize by means of 1/0 or 2/0 hook on 1/8 or 1/4 jighead.
For panfish and smallmouth stay around size 6-8 or 2. Some uses #2 hook with 1/8 oz jig and 2 inch tubes, but they can choose bigger for 1/4 oz jig with 2.5 inch walleye tubes to crappie.
Jig weight depends on the hook. For instance 1/4 oz jig go with 3/0 or 4/0 hook, while 3/8 oz with 4/0 or 5/0. Too fast sink or immediately hit against bottom shows weight too big.
Then try more helpful, for smooth move. With many small trailers answer 5/0 hook, but 6/0 for bodies bigger. 1/2 oz jig with 2/0 hook gives enough shank for 5 inch baits.
Various styles and marks have, as Mustad, Eagle, VMC, Gamakatsu, Owner and Victory. Particular hooks, for instance size 18, best answer for slotted tungsten beads of 2.5 until 3 mm. This form keeps the point up for fly courses, reduce snagging in riverbed and help to hook most fish.
Other variants have flat eye or round bend. 6/0 jig of around 20 g go with 10 cm or 4 inch shad.
