I found that I wasted a ton of baits while jigging because the baits would just slide off the smooth hook. I used to put 1 inch ahead of tail on a swedish pimple and it worked great. I gave up a couple years ago because I was rebaiting so often.
I just picked up about 2 dozen new lures and hooks on the weekend. The barbs are staying on. I will have to go and get more to change the hooks out on favorite jigging lures.
