    That's what i was going to suggest a No#8. You have to dip all fish of any size. LDS

    I had Curtis at Litewirehooks (a CDC member) make me some 1/32 with #6 sickle hooks, to tie small jigs with. Turns out they are perfect for fishing a wiggler for crackers. Highly recommended. Just ordered another hundred.

    on a side note : many anglers don't realize or have not researched the diet of a black crappie . I read where they did stomach contents analysis of mature black crappie and large portions of the black crappies diet consisted of very small organisms ,up to 80 % in some lakes .
    So if you think this 1/32 light presentation just applies to white crappie eating fry , I suggest you find some black crappie and give it a try .

    I use #6 often. 4 and 6 are all I use.
    I have been using 1/32oz more this year because of the slow presentation it offers.
    My old stand by was the 1/16th.
    I now have a few 1/24th as well. It probably don’t matter much but it has helped.

    This 18" bass, 13" redear and 23" catfish were caught on these # 12 weighted flies fished under a weighted float. Small hooks catch large fish. Name:  20200516_123531.jpg

    I know a local retired policeman that use those weighted flies EVERY day of the week here locally and you cant possibly imagine how bad he hurts monster bass up close to the double digit range and monster bluegill and of course crappie as well .
    I think he uses a clear float with them on a fly rod but I swear if you follow him on fakebook you will be shocked at the fish he ketches with such a tiny bait every single day of the week .

    1/32 jighead on #6 or #8 hook with plastics, 6 for the large tails, 8 for the smaller like the Bobby Garland 1"ers. The key to the most control is to match the line to the jig weight. at 1/64 or 1/48 I fish 2# for 1/32 4 pound line both Gamma which has excellent knot strength in the tiny diameters. Early in cold water I will use 4# ice which is both smaller diameter and limper than their regular 4# or about the same as their regular 2# in diameter, but limper. For hollow bodies like 1.5" crappie tubes I use heads with reverse tangs. for solid body tails simple ball heads. I also prefer black color with no eyes. I powder paint my own. I will fish a 2# line on an ice rod with a 48th oz head and tiny tail for some jigging situations. I have a free spool straight crank ice reel that allows a straight casual drop. Bite happens on the way down many times, slack line before the bottom sort of thing. It also happens on a very slow reel up. If you miss that bite, drop the lure back down well below and come up past that point again. We saw lots of times on the ice that bringing the jig up past the crappie from below often got positive attention. That holds on open water too. They will often also come up to meet a sinking bait. The ice flasher has proven to be a very good teacher.
