1/4oz jigs when do you use them?

[FIN]

Found a bargin on 1/4oz jigs.
How do you use them?l

[Redge]

When catching fish 40-50 foot deep in 65-85 feet of water, during the winter.
I have lots of friends that use them when livescoing to get it to them fast.

Use them sometimes when spider rigging if it's really windy

[Ketchn]

they work well if you have a small boat , as an anchor
all kidding aside , i almost never go that heavy ,but on a stiff rod in deep water with braid and livescope ....maybe yes

I use them when it is windy or if I am fishing from the bank for distance under a slip float bobber. Tie them to your line with a loop knot or a small hook snap.

I use them when I'm bass fishing but for crappie I use 1/8 or lighter. Most of the lakes I fish are shallow. On windy days I think a heavier jig can be useful.

I use them anytime the fish will let me, preferably with a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Most people trying to Livescope would be 100 percent better off to use 1/4 or heavier all the time, a lot easier to get the jig on the fish in the “cone”. Sometimes they won’t let you use a profile that matches with the 1/4. Even then though will use 1/4oz egg or split shot above the smaller jigs.

If it is windy, in deeper water or in strong current.

Windy conditions or when fish are deep and you want to get down faster.
