    My go to has been #8 size hook with 1/64 or 1/48 oz weight. The heaviest I’ve fished with success where I go is a 1/32 oz with a #6 size hook. All of my fishing has been done dock shooting.

    Wow, I see now what I need is smaller jig molds and various hooks to build several smaller sized jigs,,,smallest I build now is a 1/16 oz jighead with a #4 hook,,,,most of what I’ve built were along the lines of 1/8- 1/4oz jigs with hooks as large as 2/0. That’s a huge difference then what most of you guys are fishing,, Time to get busy,,,,

    I just started crappie fishing this year myself & have a few 1/32 eagle claws, but i pretty much throw either a 1/16 or 1/8 ounce & pinch on a removable split shot if needed to get down quick or deep. I like fishing a 1/16 double jig rig a lot too.

    For me it all depends on fishing conditions. Is it windy, how deep am I fishing, I am I dipping brush or shooting docks. Unless you fish one type of way, a variety of jig heads is needed. I used 1/64-1/4oz jigs depending and conditions and methods. If I could only use one size it would be a 1/16 with a size 4 sickle hook.

    I use the lightest jig I can get away with given current and wind.
    Usually a pink 1/32 with a #4 gold eagle claw.

    1/16 with #4 or #2 sickle 90% of the time. Almost always weedless, I prefer the piano wire guard, but also use the plastic bristle type. I'll usually trim all but 3 or 4 bristles on those.

    I will fish a 1/32 occasionally, usually in the spring time.

    I have a handful of 1/8 and 1/4 oz jigs but usually use the drop shot if going that heavy.

    I normally use 1/8 with a 1/0 or 2/0 and 1/16oz with a 1/0 or smaller…

    1/32 with a #2 or #4 sickle hook. Usually all I fish. Most have the collars trimmed off making them a bit lighter.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
