I AGREE WITH MOST EVERYTHING SO FAR BUT BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING HEAVIER JIGS. MOST COMMERCIAL JIG MAKERS INCREASE THE HOOK AND BODY SIZE WHEN THEY INCREASE THE HEAD WEIGHT.I NORMALLY LIKE ALL MY JIGS TO BE THE SAME SIZE, JUST HEAVIER. A CUSTOM TIED 1/4 OZ JIG WITH A #4 HOOK IS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS A 1/16 OZ WITH A #4 HOOK. Unless my customers request a different size hook, they get the #4 hook.... In all weights....

Have to agree with jesse. I also keep an eye on my line and rod tip at all times. It takes practice to know what you are feeling and seeing.
Keep on fishing.
