    Default Most common jig weight?

    Hey I was wondering whats the MOST commonly used jig weight for specks? I'm guessing 16th but I think it varies. What do you find yourself tying the most of?

    Default depends

    one small 200 acre lake i fish is a cold lake and i usually cant get bit until the fish come up. I usually never use anything other than 1/32 there. Another deep resivior all depends on the wind and current i fished 3/32 alot the last trips. Its probably a tad more important to me to have the lightest line usually 4# but i will be switching to 6 this year. I have good feel with 4# or 6 with the heavier jigs. I loved the feel of 2# jigs dropped like rocks, but broke off way to much.

    For me, it is the middle of the road approach. 90% of the time I use 1/32nd. 10% of the time I may use 1/64. (I may add a split shot 8 inches above the jig to get down in deeper wter) Both work well.

    I fish a lot of brush and timber holes and I use a little heavier jig, I pour a 3/32 oz head that I really like it is slightly heavier than a 1/16 and lighter than a 1/8 . I pour them with a #2 0r #1 hook

    Phew! Thanks guys, cuz I went and bought a bunch, some to sell and a few to keep, and I didn't even think to ask. Fortunately I got the numbers right.

    Not going by what I use, but more by what I sell most of it's clearly the 1/16 oz.

    You know I almost did that, skip. But I'm doing nickel and gold plated and my trout experience says keep it small. By the way hows your boy?
