late to the party as usual.  

 

I prefer the Keitech V2.0.  in my waters, the way the tungsten ball head clicks against the rocks is very cathartic.  it lets me know without a doubt, I am letting the jig do jig-things.  the click is amplified.    I too feel 1/2oz is too much.   3/8th is my goldilocks.  

Sorry I didn’t notice that it was an old thread or I wouldn’t have posted.

No problem. I read old threads too and sometimes respond to them.

Why you no like paddle tales?

@softwateronly yeah they are perfect for the niche I use them in. Setting the hook shouldn’t be a problem, I’ve fished them on 12lb fluoro mainline and can stick fish perfectly. The hook isn’t quite light-wire but it isn’t super stout either, so hooksetting I don’t imagine to be an issue with any line. Another thing I like is the recessed line-tie. Never lost one of these to a hang up and I fish em right on rock piles so that tells me that recessed eye is helping. They serve the niche I need perfectly. I’m usually fishing them with a Rage Bug or Hula Grub in 10-20’ of water around rock piles, boulders, and riprap.
