hi Frank
i take it when casting the 1/16 and lighter jigs you are using 2lb line, i just got some 2lb line. i tried it yesterday with a 1/16oz but with the wind, not sure it got down where the fish were, line had such a large arc before it hit the water, i watch a lot of youtube video's where these guys are killing crappie by the dozens and water so calm, wish i could find those conditions. thanks

Congrats to your wife and for the many attributes she has. Hope she lives a very long life - especially with someone who loves her and is on the same page.
As you can see, the following are all rigged on light jigs and all have caught fish recently:
Lure shapes galore, but jig head sizes less than 1/8 oz usually the case (none painted) along with hook sizes that come out of the body at less than half the length.

I'm thinking I like this idea. it kind of give you the option of keeping a larger bait , with a proportionately sized hook, and getting a more controlled, or slower fall rate.
Yeah, I like it.
That's it in a nutshell. Well said.
Chet, where are you fishing in Pa. that crappie are all that small? I fish mostly Northeast Pa. and catch some nice crappie. From time to time I go to south New Jersey and the crappie are as big as they catch in the south. You don't have to travel unless you just want to travel and see other areas. I fish mostly with jigs also, and have a question that has haunted me for years. Do the jigs that are shown as the same weight, that have collars and those without collars really weigh what the mold says? I don't have an accurate scale to answer my question. Pop
I made molds for flat sided jigheads that will take smaller hooks from 1/4 down
