    KEITECH Little spiders Jig head

    Getting into fishing KEITECH little spiders for smallies. Any KEITECH GURUs that use these tell me what
    jig head you use??? I mainly fish the 3.0 & 3.5 spiders. I have lots of different jig heads but I am thinking
    a NED jig so the spider stands up so I can hop it in the gravel and rocks where I fish. Thoughts???
    Thanks

    I used to just use a ballhead but all I've been using the past couple of years is the Zman finesse football head. On sale right now at TW, $4.98 for a 3 pack. Probably use 3/16 the most.

    Try a Hayabusa Baby Shooting Ball Head. It's a great little weedless football head,

    Those are great heads, definitely would work with the 3.5” but I found the hook to be too long for the 3.

    i use those heads a lot to make my own finesse jigs and they’re probably one of the best I’ve used

    I checked them out… I use a lot of lil spiders and mostly 3.5. What size hook #1 or 1/0???? I use a 1 for smaller spiders and a 1/0 for the 3.5. Is it about the same for those Hayabusa???

    Ya I’d go with a size 1 for 3” spiders and 1/0 for 3.5”
    attached is a picture for reference. The one on top is a 3” spider with a Keitech size 1 hook. These go a little past where the tails are connected. Prob could even get by with a size 2 hook.

    The one on the bottom is a 3.5” spider with a Hayabusa 1/0 hook. The Hayabusa goes right to about where the tails are connected to the main body.

    Thanks. That is what I was looking for. I’ll try both sizes for my 3” & 3.5.
    appreciate the info.
