>>481566Jig heads can be found in varying size/length hooks. Plus I'm fishing fairly light tackle on my spinning set-ups. Mostly 6 lb mono with one spinner running 12 lb for heavier topwater lures. Otherwise my heaviest setup is my baitcaster with 14 lb fluorocarbon used mostly to bottom-fish structure with worms/lizards or jigs+trailers.
1/16 is my standard for jig spinners or just jigging grubs with my lighter spinning rods but I'll go as heavy as 1/8 if I'm fishing deeper waters or want the lure to drop a little faster. I think it also sounds bigger than it is. My preferred brand is Gary Yamamoto and I'd say about 2.5" is body and the other half is flat, light tail. And probably a solid half of the tail is tapering and curling back up toward the body. They really look smaller than they are until they're in the water and the tail is about to wag and twist during the retrieve. Pic related (Hula Grub) works great for jigging too.
