Spotopotomous Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi All, my name is Quinn, and my son and I recently got into making some jigs/heads and wanted to branch out to tying a few unique jigs like the float n fly. Can anyone recommend what to start with as a base jig head? I am thinking a 1/16 or 1/32 crappie jig, but looking for recommendations. I know one of the members here has a good youtube video, so we plan on using that as our how to.... Thanks in advance! I know we will have more questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I like the minnow head for the float-n-fly jig. I like the head in 1/16oz and 1/8oz, the 1/16oz with a #2 and the 1/8oz with a #1 hook. The mold comes in assorted sizes or you can get the production mold which has 2 sizes with 3 cavities of each size. The assorted is good as you have all the sizes you need but if you only need two size the production molds are better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
