The best jig heads on the market are the Got Stryper with the owner hooks PERIOD. They are designed for the larger class mediums 160 -250lbs and fit perfectly on the plastic. Ronz heads are decent but when the chips are down give me the GS jig heads. This is no knock on Ronz and the jig heads he porduces I just feel that their is a better mousetrap on the market.

As for the Duratin hooks they are more than adequate for the task at hand.

I guess you don't need the Ronz that I left on your table tonight, I'll be over tomorrow to get it.

Got to love the Crown Royal.

the lightest head possible is what you really want. If you are jigging, the heavier heads the fish can feel and it will result in a lot of brush bys. I was using 4 oz head last year and could feel fish hit the jig but not hook up, but went lighter and all the fish felt were fish hooked. The brush by's you could tell were tuna due to that funky teeth mark left on the rubber. It is one of those things that unless you go out there and just try it you would have no idea.
