3-4oz jighead for 4 and 5 gulp mullet?

[Anthony]

instead of using bucktails with gulp..i want to try just plain jigs with the 4 and 5 inch gulp mullet?

Can anyone suggest the best jighead to use in the 3-4oz size?

TIA

I use kalins for up to 1oz, i'd assume they make them bigger, but i've never looked. you could just cut the bucktail hairs off your favorite bucktail jigs i guess too.

The cheapest ones you can find, unpainted/no eyes: the Gulp attracts the fluke, the doodads attract the angler :p

Terminal Tackle has a bunch to choose from painted and unpainted. I would just experiment.

Egg sinker, mustad O'Shaughnessy 6/0 or 7/0, and a toothpick to pin the sinker. Works well, although i use 1-2 oz. and 6" gulp grubs.

3-4oz jig head HOOK is way to big for 4 and 5 inch mullet, plus dont look natural, use the 2oz bullet head jig OR BALL HEAD JIG and 6 inch grub.

For 4 and 5 inch mullet use a 4/0 and 5/0 baitholder hook,egg sinker and a toothpick to pin the sinker.

Or use the 2oz bullet head jig and 6 inch grub, above that tie dropper loop and
4 and 5 inch mullet use a 4/0 and 5/0 baitholder hook.

I use these, cheap and the barb holds the gulp on well, or at least better than a plain hook with the new, sponge like gulp

I use the higher quality jig heads, normally I’ll go with joebaggs or s&s or owner hooks bullet head jigs.. I use my jig heads for fluke, bass, blues, anything really and quality does pay, i noticed if your jigging really rough bottom they hold up a lot better when popping out of snags and also the hook point holds up well. Just my 2cents... also I only fish 5” in the ocean on the jig and use either a 4” on top of a snipped 6” grub to 4”. I crush them on this combo.

S&S and Magictail both make round ball jigs with no bucktail that are specifically designed for Gulp.

[ESFISH]

I use 1.5-2 oz. unpainted bullet jig heads with 6" gulp grubs I cut a inch of the body of the gulp and then tip with a piece of meat.I know a diver and he told me 95% of the fluke are on the wreck and not in the sand around it.So we just hold the boat over the wreck and jig.We only had one trip this year that we didn't limit the boat out here off of Chincoteague,VA.

If you’re making a trip to fishermen’s den, check out Magictail Bucktails jighead selection. They make real high quality stuff. Great hooks and nicely priced as well.

I advise to check out some of the market places on facebook for NJ fishing tackle. You can find much better deals than you can at any tackle shop and the sellers make their own to order, so you can customize in any way you'd like. I would post here, but they aren't site sponsors.

Like those long hook shanks.
