Mike, they look like great jig heads, my concern is that when using an A-rig I like hooks that can bend. Reason being if you get snagged and you're using braid you can usually bend out the hook and get the rig back. If the hook won't bend, you're probably going to lose the rig.

I see your point. I guess I would worry about them bending and pulling out of a fish too with a light wire hook. Thanks...Mike www.jigs4bass.com

Yep that would be the drawback, a fish bending out the hook and getting off, but we've been using lighter wire hooks on our jigheads and only once has a fish bent one out and gotten off, just need to lighten up on the drag a bit so they can't get the leverage to bend out a hook. I've probably seen about 15-20 solid snags that would have resulted in losing the rig if not being able to bend out the hook.

Agreed. Not being a tourny guy, I'll put up with the occasional lost fish in order to have a much better chance of getting my A-rig back. I've caught them up to 5lbs on the light wire hooks so far, and plenty of 3 and 4 pounders. I bet I'd have lost at least 20 A-rigs if it was not for the light wire hooks I've been using. Or maybe I just would not be fishing them around the same type of cover, which would cut down on my success rate, I'm sure.

Not running your product down. Just hoping you'll make some light wire versions for us non-tourny guys.

Deffinately Light wire hooks.. Keep the drag loos and you can land monsterous fish on them. I use to use Terror Eyez for tarpon and landed many 50 to 80 pound class fish on them. the fight takes longer so it does stress the fish more so more attention to the release was needed but I never had a Poon die on me except for when a Bull shark felt he was easy prey.
