Jimmy this is the type of helpful information needed in today’s world where every one is just concentrating on one species of fish the Striped bass. The use of jigs will always have there place among the brethren of the seas and also its aid in taking all and every species of fish swimming on a given time and place. Back in another time we had jigs available to fish with bait that when on the bottom the hook was available to the fish and presented itself in an upright position . They over time took impressive catches of different fish from, scup, bass, fluke and tog , never mind cod and pollock and haddock. I was recently gifted some of the early what I call Stan Kusia jig heads all with stainless steel hooks that when on the bottom sit with the hook presented waiting for the fish to hit. The weights range from .3 to 1.8 ounces. I have many of these heads that also were made in odd sizes up to 7 ounces, most of which are all tied. They are no longer made as it was a two stage operation to make the head as the eye of the hook was not used , but a tie point was fabricated and inserted into the mold , again that when on the bottom present itself with the hook up and the majority of hook ups are in the corners of the fishes mouth . THese jig head go back to the day when Bill Upperman made his one of a kind flat jig head for an assortment of fish. I was also blessed to be given some of his original heads, also all with stainless hooks. I have taken tog and sea bass out of 90 to 100 feet of water using just a 2 ounce head tied only on the bottom with matching colors of a crab[green ] Peace and Prayers
