Those ties are very good. I fish 1/16 most of the time for crappie but I have also learned that one must adapt to their surroundings. Up here at home all a 1/32 will catch is 4 to 5 inch bluegill but a 1/16 puts me on to crappie in that same water. Having said that I have to add that while fishing Weiss in Alabama a number of years ago I could not catch a cold with my Iowa jigs. A fellow hooked me up with a popular 1/32 jigs for around there and I smoked the crappie. Other folks ideas or baits don't always travel well. Stay true to what you know works but experiment some too.
