U.W BronzeBack Hunter Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 In your opinion for: 1.) Largemouths 2.) Smallies My opinion: 1.) 3/8 oz 2.) 1/2 oz, seeing how they are usually in deeper water and i want that faster drop rate to get to them Special situations: if i'm going to swim a jig, i'll go for a finesse 1/4 oz. if i'm flipping into heavy cover, i'll go for a 5/8 oz or larger depending on the cover Quote
flippin Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 1/4 or3/8 is what id go with unless in heavy vegitation Quote

I'm fishing a jig about 50% of the time and at any given time I never have under 100 jigs in my boat. Worst part is I only use 7 different colors... :-[ Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 3/8-1/2 is what I use most. Colors are black/blue and pbj. that consists of 99% of my jig fishing. Quote
Super User CWB Posted January 5, 2009 Super User Posted January 5, 2009 Same here. 3/8 -1/2. 3/4 if I'm fishing deep and fish are active and want a faster retrieve. Cliche but use the lightest you can get away with. Quote

Super User Raul Posted January 5, 2009 Super User Posted January 5, 2009 3/8, 1/2 oz that 's what I fish the most. Quote
fathom Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 usually carry a few each of 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2. got one lake have caught three 10# ers from the last four years...all three on 1/8 bitsy bugs...in those four years, have not caught one fish with 1/4 or above. got another lake where you can catch a world of keepers but, those keepers won't touch anything under 3/8. it ain't always about depth or speed.
