Flathead jig heads

[alleycat]

Just wondering if anybody knows a good jig head with a decent barb, both myself and a mate have lost quite a few good fish because of the poor barbs you seem to find on popular jig heads ie tt headlock, any suggestions?.

I use home made jobbies. Light gauge hooks. Tunaticer has all the details. PM him (or he will see this soon enough and give you the run down)

Are you losing because the barb has torn through the lighter part of the fish's mouth? Not sure this is the fault of the barb, except I would find hooks with a wider gape so that you increase the chance of a hookup. Mustad BLN flippin jig hooks are perfect for this, Speak to Dayoo about a wider gape hook to use in his jigheads. A 2/0 or 3/0 suits 1/4oz and 3/8 oz.

I use the tt headlocked ones and never had any dramas just remember to keep your line tight and rod tip high. I have seen lots of my friends drop fish from keeping the rod to close to the water. Well that's my two cents.
