[QUOTE="buckhunter24_7, post: 90729, member: 690"] It will make a huge difference going with the longer shank. Only time it will affect the action is when it starts going into the tail portion of the swimbait. I switched probably ten years ago to bigger hooks and have had much better success. You are heading the right direction. I use 3/8 or 1/2 oz jigs for 4 1/2 inch shads if I go to 6 inch shads its 3/4 to 1 oz jigs. [/QUOTE]
