Jig head size

What size jig head with hook should I use?

Here’s a simple guide for those wondering which jig heads with hooks fit which jig lengths. What determines the jig head to use is the hook size, as it decides where on the jig body the hook exits. Then you can choose different weights for the jig head depending on how deep you want the jig to go, or shapes that suit different fishing methods better.

There are also other types of jig heads without hooks, called 'Screw-In-Heads,' often used in pike fishing, where the smallest sizes fit jigs from about 13-14 cm and up.

Hook size	Jig length
1/0	approx. 3 to 5 cm
2/0	approx. 4 to 6 cm
3/0	approx. 6 to 7 cm
4/0	approx. 8 to 9 cm
5/0	approx. 9 to 11 cm
6/0	approx. 11 to 14 cm
7/0	approx. 12 to 14 cm
8/0	approx. 14 to 18 cm
10/0	approx. 18 to 24 cm
12/0	approx. 25 to 30 cm
