Thread: Vote Favorite Jig Size

1/16 or 1/8 50/50 on my use.

i have better luck on 1/16ths then any other size.

i have better luck on 1/16th but i will fish 1/8 if nessesary

mine are 1/16 & 1/8 usualy anything lighter i have trouble with and anything heavier dont work well with my ultra light

I doulbe rig 1/32 so in theory it's close to 1/16 but I use the minnow head jigs that are really hevier than round head jigs. The 1/32 is more like a 1/20 based on my scales. And I am sure different molds have different weights also.

1/16 is my favorite , but do use 1/32 also if I want a slow fall. but the larger 1/16 darts a lot better??

1/4 oz here. When spider rigging I use (2) 1/4 oz jigs with 8 lb test to keep the baits down in the strike zone. I got the idea when I watched the side pulling episode on Midwest Crappie with Roger Gant.

Ever since I tried it, I've liked the heavier jigs, plus if I want to go faster while spider rigging, I can.

I use mostly 1/8oz for two reasons. One, thats what most tackle stores in San Diego have and two, I fish in reservoirs where we drift/troll for them in 30-40 feet of water.
