Questions on Articulated jigs.

Didn't want to hijack a thread so I started a new one. 1) What gague and type of wire? 2) How are you tying it in? (folding it back over itself at tie in point?) 3). Heavier wire for bigger hooks? 4) Best way to attach stinger hook?

I use fish skullz articulated fly shanks

Or if I want the tail to flip around I cut the hookbent off and hinge the tail in a mono loop. Both patterns work well. The fly shank version shouldn´t be twitched or it wil catch the line, but on a calm retrieve it is a very effective lure, similar to those new fashion "spybaits".
