That was a 3 OZ ball jig. It had a 7 inch fin S fish on it. Jigging the canal can get complicated. There are different things at different spots. The jigs behave differently depending on the style and if you use a tail or fully tied bucktail or if the tail has little drag like a pork strip or a lot of drag like a shad body. A 3 OZ ball is pretty versatile for the canal.
Yes , you lose jigs. You can fish a long time without losing one but unless you are bouncing the bottom you aren't into the best fishing area. If you are bouncing the bottom , you are going to lose some.
