Best jig hook I've found is at Wal-Mart, 1/4 oz, 1/8 oz, Luck "E" Strike made with Gamakatsu hooks collar hook jig hook. The wire thickness is about the same as the 2X Strong Gamakatsu jig hooks but with a little longer shank that matches the tube size. For a drifting set up I've been using two small Atlas foam balls slide on to the 3/0 hook leader with a needle then the tube over the foam balls and then a small piece of cooked shrimp or prawn slide up the hook on to the leader below the foam balls into the lower portion of the tube. Great rig to drift fish straight tube and give some floatation and scent. I will also slide small corkys, cheaters, cheater flash-n-spins and Danielson spin drifters in front of the tube with no bead between. What I like about them is they are the same size and profile of a sandshrimp. Any rig that you would use a sandshrimp, try a tube. A very versitile artificial bait for sure.
