I would like to start a discussion about what would be the very best jig hook possible.
I know it don't exist, but maybe if we can describe it, someone might make it.
I would like a 30 degree, flat eye hook, with a wide gap that was at least 1/4" if not 3/8" longer than normal. Of course in 3, 4, and 5.
The reason is withe the hooks today, when you pull on the eye to set the hook, you need to get the head of the hook almost out of a bass's mouth to hook him.
I think that is why the hook up ratio is so low with most jigs today. I think the longer hook will allow more hookups in the back of the fish mouth.
Just my thoughts -- What are yours?
What do you think would be best?
Are there places to find unusual hooks for molding custom jigs?
