What size jighead would work best for these swim bait?
I got these swimbaits in 4” to try them out I would really like to use them on Jigheads but all the current jigs I have or either to short or hook way to big. HELP

I throw these on a 3/8 chatter bait for bass and pike.

This is entirely dependent on what you’re trying to do. Fast approach, use a heavier weight, slow approach, lighter. As for hook size, get one that will come out about a third of the way back from the head of the lure.
I’ve had better luck this time of year with a slow approach, so light jighead, and slow retrieve with some light twitching. But I have been places where the smallmouth wouldn’t touch it unless I was jetting it, so yea, id just have light and heavy on hand.
The other response is put on a chatterbait, yup, can do that too and will work. Could use as a trailer on a spinnerbait, jig, buzz bait, etc…

Something like a darter or bullet jig might be the ticket if you’re wanting a bigger hook. Not cheap though😭chatterbaits trailer too but I use them often
