Looks like the last time he was on here was 5/27 or so...thanks BAMA

I like the 1/16 with #2 red sickle hook, and also 1/32 with #2 sickle when I want a slower fall. Lots of the dock shooting hits come on the drop, and sometimes the lighter jig is needed for sluggish fish. I get all of my heads from Grousefly on here...you cam pm him. His jigs are great, and .10 per head, unpainted.

I'd suggest 1/32 or 1/24 oz in most cases for dock shooting crappie.

I bought a B&M Shooter in 6 foot, and they say the rod is design for the 1/16 jig, but I bet a 1/32 will work to don't ya think?

I do it all the time. You'll like that rod!

You will loss a lot of jigs with #2 hooks I use #4 and #6 Just my 2 cents but try a few of each and see what works for you

I agree with lowe175, # 2 hook will get hung up more and you will lose a lot of them under docks. I use a # 2 hook for most of my other fishing because I feel I will catch more fish with the larger hook. Most folks shoot docks with the smaller 1/32 jigs. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
