Re: Ultra Minnow
Ok I'm sure this will get arguments for and against--But in my opinion and how i design all the jigs (Bucktails) in my lineup.
The balance is the key to catching and presenting a jig to a fluke.
The hook size to weight ratio is very important!
Too small and the jig is too head heavy and doesn't present right , too long and the weight transfer will affect movement and the jigs erratic nature YOU WANT when quick twitching/jigging to get a fluke to bite. I have spent years trying to find the best hook to weight size and feel i have it figured out.
Fluke have large mouths and can inhale a 9/0 hook no problem.....
i have seen many shorty fish nail jigs with up to 9/0 hooks
its about how you present and balance
IMHO
