I've been using a fine wire Matzuo sickle jig hook made down to a #8 for my Balanced Micro Leech. An excellent jig hook to hang below an indicator for stillwater trout, not a power jig hook though.

5/32" brass bead, 1/4" from hook to pin head (.032 9/16") to balance.

I'll tie a level thread base in front of the brass bead on the sewing pin just thick enough to be able to pull the brass bead over the thread base, whip finish, cut, super glue, pull the brass bead up to the pin head. Then tie a thread dam behind the brass bead. It stabilizes the brass bead on the sewing pin quite well.
