I buy my jig hooks from a guy back east. I have them made up in #1's and #2's in what he calls a "O'shaughnessy saltwater jig hook". They are super strong, even stronger than the Gamakatsus'. I have caught several fish in the high teens with the same jig without bending the hook. E-mail if you like and I will send you a few samples. The biggest key with fishing jigs as you all know is a strong hook, because most all jigs out there will hook fish.........but you got to land it too! Let me know if you would like some samples. *GOFISH JIGS*
