Hello All,

I'm looking into building a compact football jig with a smaller hook. Right now it would probably be a 3/8 and 1/2 but I'm stuck between what hook to use. What do you all prefer for all of you that use this type of jig? Any other ideas that you have please share.

Thank you

Mike

Physically the Keitech and OW Sniper are mostly what I use. If Keitech moved up a gauge or two on the hook wire they'd be perfect. A 1 or 1/0 hook gives enough gap between line tie and hook point while being short enough to let the neds or tiny trailers flop a little.

Id like to see a 1/0 hook with the Owner Deep Throat hook. That’d be great

I would say a 1/0

For my compact jigs I use a 2/0 little nasty.

I'd personally love the 2/0 owner on the nishine finesse football, but I don't know the sku number.

I've dumped so many fish on that dang Keitech hook.

2/0 BKK is the hook on other compact footballs that I use and don't lose fish on.
