Illex Baby DeraBall 6 cm [11 g]

Description

The Illex Baby DeraBall is a cross between a shad and crank bait creating a hybrid soft lure best classed as a swimbait. The compact, dense ball design casts brilliantly and imitates a range of prey fish. Perfect for skipping round snags and obstructions. A straight retrieve generates a tight swimming action that is a sure trigger for any predators holed up in vegetation cover of undercut banks. The lure was originally designed for fishing relatively shallow areas but there is nothing stopping you adding a free running tungsten bead. Our ingenious Line Through system enables the lure to ride up the line along the internal plastic tubing during a fight. Comes with a top quality triple hook that is held in the lure by two whipped prongs.

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 (multi)

Hook size is denoted by a number. The higher the number, the smaller the hook. Size 30 is a tiny hook, 4 is significantly larger. If there’s a zero after, e.g., 2/0, it’s even bigger. The higher the number before the zero, the larger the hook. We have a range from the smallest hook, size 30, to our largest, 18/0.
