enviro jigs or some squidgy jig heads because both have a catching tab thing on them so once you slide the powerbait over it you can flick that lure around without it peeling of (enviro are better though)

Quidgy heads are best in my opinion Finesse with the small wire tabs

Nitro Bream Bullets by far. They give the BM's an unbelievable flutter action and other SP's.

Troys right ,

Nitro bullet heads really work the minnows to there full potential l believe. l use a 1/22 mostly in water around 3-4 m and a1/32 in anything shallow with a size#4 Hook,

1/16th and less would be best....

TT or squidgy in whatever weight suits your fishing territory will be fine, i bought some TT today and they seem very good.

Nitro're good, I used to use them almost exclusively until I couldn't afford to be spending so much on jigheads alone. I'd be very wary of the round squidgy heads. I've heard too many reports of them opening up and Ted, a mate of mine has had one open up on a good jack. Still, if you're not dealing with tough fish, they should be ok. It's funny though, the finesse heads actually have the heavier gaudge hook.

yeah i forgot to mention that i like the tt hidden weights for when u want the unweighted effect but u need to make a longish cast,jmo.

1/8oz size 2 gamakatsu round does the job for me.

Or 1.5 gram size 4 hook if the fish are finiky. JMO.

i have read in magazine articles etc that ure bot supposed to use round head with sticlbait style plastics so i have steared away from then.

soooo are u or arent u, does it afeect the action or not

Not for me anyway mate...

Doesn't affect the action at all.

Have used 2gram finnesse head's on bassminnows before, but havn't caught anything as of yet... Gives the bait a real nice action. Finnesse heads on bass minnows should be an advantage because the jig's can sway underneath boats and pontoons which should give you more of a chance to hook up to a fish.

HTH.
