Jig

Also known as Kontofylakas, it resembles a jighead but differs in the shape of the lead (often in a "dolphin" or "nose" shape). It is used with live or fresh natural baits and consists of one or more hooks (a main hook and an auxiliary one, called the "thief"). Its shape allows it to sit horizontally on the bottom.

There are 2 main categories for hook size:

Small hooks: They have numbers such as #1, #2, #4, #6, #8, etc. The larger the number, the smaller the hook. For example, a #10 hook is much smaller than a #2.

Large hooks (with "aught" - /0): These have numbers such as 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, etc. The larger the number before the "/0", the larger the hook. For example, a 5/0 hook is larger than a 1/0.
