I tie my clousers on 1/0 jig hooks. But I use these in the salt for silvers and pinks. Chartruse/white, olive/white and pink/white. I tie them two different way, marabou and bucktail.the jig hook gives them great action.

I have also seen jigs for gear fishing tied with dumbell eyes instead of with jigheads. I use weighted leeches in the winter, but not on jig hooks. I know some people use them to snag fish but I never intentionally try to sneg fish, I just don't understand why somepeople do.
