    Default What size do you use ?


    I know I'm going to get a lot of different answers. I fish 2 - 6' of water. Always hear they like a slow fall. I've been using a 1/48 for several years but started using a 1/24 and thinking about going to a 1/16. Also what's your favored hook size? 2 - 4 - 6 - 8

    I used to like fishing 1/16 oz tube jigs, but the last 2 years I have been fishing 1/32 oz hair jigs and seem to do better. Have had a ton of success with both of them. It really just depends on how deep of water I'm fishing and the current/wind situation.

    For the shallow waters I fish, I use mostly 1/32 with a # 2 sickle hook. Others I use are 1/32 with a # 4 hook, and 1/16 with a # 4 hook. Why change what works as I know you had a very good season last summer.

    I like a 1/16 #4 for hair and a #2 for plastic. Sometimes I fish a 1/8 #2, mostly depends on how and what I'm fishing

    I prefer 1/32 for any water 5' and less. I use 1/16 for water up to 15'. I like 1/8 for punching grass and trolling. I will use 1/48 on cold days, or anytime I feel they are Feeding on fry.
