Mike... did you use a float?

Thanks... Dennis

The jig head has a longer shank hook....thus they named it Panfish hook. IMHO it gives a better hook set than the regular TM hook on bluegill. The TM hook is designed with the short shank so that minimal damage is done when hooking a trout. Most trout when caught with the TM hook the hook is in the top of the mouth. The Panfish hook gives more hook ups in the corner of the mouth when I catch bluegill with it.....which I prefer. You are correct....the TM body is same size.
