What size jig heads?

Hey,

Just wondering what weight and hook size jig heads you guys normally keep stocked in your tackle boxes for bream??

I want to stock up on a few before the next comp but can't afford buy every different size

Any comments/advice would be great!

Cheers

Hook size 1 & 2 in weights 1/11, 1/16, 1/20, 1/24, 1/40.
I use the 1/16 & 1/20 as the "norm" weight and will go higher or lower depending on conditions.

Most common occuring hook size in my TB is #2 and 1 hooks in 1/16,24 and 32. Have a few different weights (HWS) just in case.

I hate imperial measurements.

So for me, size 2, 4 and rarely 6 in .5 to 2 gram weights. I do have a couple of much heavier jigheads with me for tough conditions or flatties but rarely use them.

Hey mate

I have size 1 and 2 hooks from 1/32 to 1/4oz, the most used are the 1/32s, 1/24s and 1/16s, the 1/4s are mostly used for flatties.. If it gets deep enough where I should be using 1/4oz jigheads, i switch to vibes, not that I am any good at them
