Fav 1/4oz jihead for FFS

[RHuff]

Have you found that any particular jighead shows up better on livescope? I’ve read that tungsten shows better than lead and ball head better than minnow head….  Anyone noticed any differences?

I've not noticed a difference in lead shapes. For the most part I'm using the Yum sonar minnow designed heads because I have them.  Once you get the FFS dialed in I'm fine seeing a 1/8 oz head and a 3" sonar minnor which is about as small as I'm throwing for bass.   A 2" twister tail on a 1/32 lead ballhead is tough, but if you're right on the cone you can do it.  A 1/32 maribou jig was impossible for me to watch.  Maybe it was the wind and maybe I could dial up the sensitivity more, but that wasn't happening.

Basstrix Flashtrix and Livetrix shows up good on tradional sonar do to the hollow body trapping air and the coating shows up on FFS.

Don't have FFS yet but it would make sense for a Tungsten head to provide a better return being a harder material. Additionally, a ballhead should present a profile that is easier to produce a sonar signal than a thinner minnow shape. Just look at our stealth aircraft for example. They put all those weird angles on them to deflect or lessen the radar signature. A cargo aircraft is a lot easier to detect that a stealth bomber.
