I hope Cooch or some of the "rats" answer this, cuz I'm no expert. My experience is the "bite window" or active period just becomes extremely short. Tidal migrations become shorter, and you need to be on the fish when they are ready to bite. Check out Vince Hurtado's article on w...

Re: I am going to get into tying my own jigs....

The hook style may be determined by the type of mold or head style you have chosen. Most molds require a fairly specific hook type to fit the channel provided. Some use a 60 degree bend, others use a 90...You need to pick a head style, pick out a mold, and buy hooks recomended for that mold.
