1/64 oz to 1/32 oz jig heads... economy worth it?

Featured Replies

just got an ultralight spin rod, and trying very light jig heads. i don't like how heavier jig heads are so loud hitting the water. i like the 1/64 oz ones that come with trout magnets - what is a good price and brand of this weight of jig head? i know there are ball heads, then the trout magnet dart heads, painted heads...  on amazon there are 100 packs for $10 - but are the hooks any good? i have prime; and ordered temorah jigs, unpainted ball heads, eyelet on the top front, 45 degree angle... ---they're returnable, 50 for $7. strike king painted jig heads are twice as much. 

i no the trout magnet hooks seem sharp - i accidentally stabbed myself with one this evening.

i've caught tiny bass (one was 4" long), bluegill..., and a larger bass - 10"? i'm going for things for the fry pan - bluegill.

just got a celilo, 6' that i can cast the trout magnets on, and 4# test mono

thanks so much.

Owner has always made good jigheads. Or, you can buy most any brand and just sharpen the hook good.                   I bought some Kalins jigheads recently. I think the lightest they go is 1/32 oz. They have a wire hook keeper on the shank, similar to a ned rig hook. Good qaulity.

ty... gtk what are really good ones, and good ones... i just lost a few jig heads, to tree trunks, unknowns, etc... there are quite a few hazards in the lake i fish. just ordered a couple (cheap) brands from amazon. i'll take a look at them, see if either looks ok. if not, i'll send 'em back. strike king is kind of reasonably priced.

Search ‘bulk crappie jigs” and look for jigs that identify the hook used and size, pass on those with unknown hooks.

I use the 1/64oz trout magnet heads,  I got them in a Panfish Magnet kit. I have caught everything on those little jig heads. My biggest fish was a 2.8lb bass and it was a great fight on the UL with 2lb line. So the trout magnet darter style works, is sharp, and pretty cheap.
