On my smilin bills 2 oz i use a 9/0 hook i dremeled out the mold.on 1.5 I use a 8/0 hook 34185.I like the shorter shank for most applications.I also use some gami siwash an O'Shawnessy hooks with the some molds.I use sinker eyelets.or make eyelets out of stainless wire as its stronger.Also Ledgerunner has the owner 7/0 jig hooks thats a fine hook very sharp. good hook in any jig 1.5 oz.80% of my fish evry yr.come on a jig.Most the time in some pretty stiff current.I guess i need a gaff hook to help me as i don't know what I'm doin.But after some dissasters I melted down all my old jigs an started a new....I WILL NEVER LOOSE A GOOD FISH TO A HOOK AGAIN.If ur gonna make ur own why mess around.As kalin makes a good jig head for under a buck a piece.As a matter of fact i use thier 5 oz bullet in the canal.at 95 cents its a good jig it don't make much sense.I even do some lite 3/8-1/2 oz ball heads with a 6/0 gami siwash.I try to stay away from the new mustads with Duratin plateing process the are much weeker than the older ones an stay away from eagle claw.they are just too "bendy".
