Well, you have the jig weight right. I am sold on the 1/16, a 1/24 is also good. I only go up to a 1/8 when it is windy. I know every state and location has different factors, but I hardly ever throw anything over 2 inches long. 3 inches would be a little big I think, but some people do use them. however I think you are going way too light on the line. Try 4 pound test, I just think 2 is not worth it. I use 6 pound most of the time. I like tubes better than curly grubs except when trolling. white is a good color.
