60° hook eye tube jighead

So this is probably a dumb question but what makes the 60 better then the 90 understand how 90 would be better for jigging nut I where I fish tubes exposes hooks plus slab limestone equals a ton of snags especially since u lvoe to drag tubes but they the 60 is better in Rocky areas just curious to why or how

I fish a lot of tubes and I wouldn't say a 60 is better, just different. 60 degree hooks in tube jigs, especially flat eye hooks are usually better for dragging as the line tie is up off the bottom but forward allowing the tube to be pulled over rock easier. The 90 degree tube jig hook is what I deem as all purpose, you can drag it but it does much better when jigging because you can pop it off the bottom with less forward movement than you get with a 60 degree line tie. If you are experiencing more hang ups with a 90 it is probably because you drag the tube and pulled it into a crevice between rocks and with the 60 degree the tube will rock up a little bit when it gets hung allowing you to pull it over the rock. In the Susquehanna river I have found 60 and 90 degree hooks in tube jigs will hang up at the same rate, that is why I make those draggin heads but sometimes they don't want it presented like that and you have to go with a jig head. If you are doing well with the 60 then stay with it but don't get caught up in the "why", sometimes we just have to accept something for the reason it works better and just live with it.

Small jaw we fish the same waters then middle susky and local creeks and sometimes the juniata but off topic how do you make dragging heads I see confidence and winco makes them but confidence is way to pricey do you modify the do it mold? I would love to be able to make them myself

A 90° will spiral on the fall, but hang up more where a 60° won't spiral, but won't hang up as much.

Tanks for the clarification I been reading it on diff ones including bps new one which reminds me. Of stupid rig like I said use weedless tube heads it helps some but no matter what getting snagged happens but problem with the limestone is the little ledges within slab rock even popping it usually just digs it in deeper

Just a idea, but would dropping the weight if the head help? As long as it wasn't so light the current blew it out before it got to the intended target? It has seemed to help me on my rocky lake, but I'm not dealing with current.

Believe it or not I'm using an 1/8oz already most of thr times I do have some internal tube weights that let me t rig while still getting some spiral action and when I fish the riffles I feel it ticking across the rocks so I worry more weight would wedge it in
