Blackfish Jigs and colors

[OVERBORED]

Last few years I've been using snafu less and slider (a.k.a Belmar) rig more. Great rig to use with Hermits

Agreed on using the correct hook!! As I have found out this past fall..

Regarding Blackfish jigs, can you elaborate on this. Many mention the "correct hook". What are the things to look for?

When I snell my own hooks I use either Owner SSW cutting point 3/0 or Mustad Big Gun 3/0. As far as the "jigs" I have bought some from Tidal Tails or All American Tackle.

Mustad Big Gun 3/0. And I think my jigs are Tidal Tails.

Regarding jigs, how can you tell if the hook correct?
Also, in his book, John Skinner mentions using a blackfish jig for porgy. The hook looks too big on most I have seen.
