For plastics, any ball or bullet head with a strong 7/0 or bigger Mustad forged hook.

For bucktails, nothing beats a Kevin Ledoux "Mr. Pogy" jig.

I would post my killer diamond jig techniques, but don't want to give those jabronis in the stern of the boat any ideas

I had requested this for discussion, since I saw Jim White at PISC last month and have forgotten most, if not all he had said. (didn't take notes) What I did learn was that we are light years behind the fresh water crowd in this area and that there are so many jigs for specific conditions. Would be killer if we could coax Jim to participate in this. His photos of all the available jigs and their uses were an eye opener for me.

Jim gives a good presentation and is very knowledgeable on that. On the other hand he is - admittedly - not too good on the 'puter. Perhaps Clammer can tutor him on the Innernets.

He'll probably yell at me for telling this but I had to set his digital watch the other day with the time zone change

As for jigs - maybe one place to start is how styles / shapes affect sink rates and weights needed like a Smiling Bill style -v- an Upperman style and why one might be used for one condition -v- another condition

A "Mr. Pogy" jig is sort of a cross between an Upperman and a ball jig. It's flattened a bit on top and on the bottom, but it has round "cheeks" like a ball jig in the middle.

They're really hard to find, unfortunately.

For round or bullet jigheads to use with plastics, M&Ds has plenty. All of the weights have 7/0 or 8/0 forged hooks.
