Jig sizes
« on: Jul 30, 2018, 05:15 AM »
Trying to figure out what I have and what I want...what are the typical weights and lengths ( from bottom of hook to top of jig ) of 3 , 4 and 5mm tungsten jigs...and are these sizes I listed the same as #12 , #10 and #8 jigs. Thanks!

3mm- size 16 hook, 0.5 grams
4mm- size 14 hook, 0.7 grams
5mm- size 12 hook, 1 gram

**Note that there might be a bit of variance on the jig weights above.

I’m pretty sure that yourbobbersdown.com (Fiskas) has their weights and lengths posted on their site and their jigs are pretty standard length/weight.

I usually just buy a skandia tungsten 24 pk off amazon every season. Kinda a variety pack of size/shape/colors. Usually lose a few every season so my overall inventory slowly grows. Price is reasonable too. Runs about $1.30 for painted jig.  I loved the northland hard rock mooska jigs, but they were just to expensive to fish. One large bass eats it with 2lb line......it's gone $3 down the drain.

I think i got a customjigsandspins catalog laying around. I'm pretty sure their pictures are actual size for some of it. I'll mail the pages with jigs for free if you wanna PM me an address
