Jig head question/discussion

[keakar]

I like jigs with long shank 2/0 hooks for trout and long shank 4/0 size for reds

the same size "plain" hooks for when live or market shrimp I like the long shank 2/0 for trout and long shank 4/0 for reds in the regular "J" hook long shanks.

I do make sure the get the thicker heavy duty hook shanks and not the thin gauge shanks. I find the heavy duty hooks don't rust or bend as easy and they also stay sharper longer
