GoneFishingLTN Posted Friday at 05:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:07 PM Do you think a 3/0 hook would hinder the 3.3 Keitech their website says 2/0 but can’t find the weights I’m looking for 3/16 1/4 3/8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the hook overpower the bait- take an extra second or two and let it sink IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted Friday at 05:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:26 PM it will depend on the specific head and hook, but that said I use 3.3s on most of my swim jigs and they have big hooks on them. I've not had any issues with body action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Chris at Tech Posted Friday at 06:48 PM Super User Share Posted Friday at 06:48 PM Guppy head with 3/0 hook works just fine on 3.3s for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drawdown Posted Friday at 10:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:41 PM I’m fortunate to have a local tackle store that pours their own, and they are 2/0 hooks. The 1/8oz are a staple for me. If you haven’t already, I’d ask someone at a local shop if they could pour some to order. Otherwise, it’s a rare-ish combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I primarily use the 1/4oz. When going after smallmouth, I go with 2/0. If I am chasing largemouth, I use a 3/0. I find they pair well with soft swimbaits. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Fusion19_Swimbait_Jig_Heads_3pk/descpage-FNSW.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gulfcaptain Posted Saturday at 05:38 AM Super User Share Posted Saturday at 05:38 AM Did you look at kietech's ball heads? I know they make a 2/0 in a 1/4. Use it all the time. They're tungsten but have better hooks then Owner and are still the light wire. Also can use their football jig heads. Can cut the small weedguard off and then you have a 3/8oz head with a 2/0 hook. And they work great when trying to keep the bait down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetFishorDieTryin Posted Monday at 01:35 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:35 AM Depends on the shank length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Vincent Posted Monday at 01:57 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:57 AM I think Do-It Freestyle Jigs with a 2/0 or 3/0 Owner 5313 hook or Victory 10313 Hooks are nice with 3 to 3.5” Paddle Tails swimmers, especially when fished with 8 to 12lb. test line. Should be available somewhere in the sizes you mentioned 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew03cmc Posted Monday at 02:49 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:49 AM Bass Pro Shops Speed Shad head is a nice option in 1/8oz, 2/0 hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txchaser Posted yesterday at 04:49 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:49 AM https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Z-Man_Trout_Eye_Jig_Head_3pk/descpage-ZMTREYE.html I started using these on a-rigs (I wanted a big gold eye) and they work great with 3.3 and 3.8. Hook is stout enough to deal with all the a-rig drama and smashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
