Ur on the right track.I have found there can be a fine line between too short an too long..Seems sometimes when they are to short the eylet clip combination as it's clearing the bass's clamped mouths doesn't catch a piece of lip.Place ur pinkie finger on top of the eyelet.Thats a 30 lber's top lip bone.See what I mean.In the one oz heads i use the 7/0 owner jig hook.or a 7/0 mustad.A 7/0 gami siwash is very mean..
I like to make my own loops also The plug wire is stronger than the brass sinker stuff.Sometimes with the heavier jigs like the 5 oz stuff for the canal. they can get mashed over when u bring em back along the rocks.But it is time consuming...i think do-it makes stainless eylets..
When i tie em up First thing i do is rap the shank of the hook to make grabbers.I use size E nylon rodbuilding thread.Just make a few bumps an zap it..Holds the trailors on better...I think i gave u some like that to show u..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
