I’m afraid I’m not following your statement. What size jig head would you recommend for a Bobby garland itty bitty or an atx baby shad?

I would reccomend a 1/32, it fits the itty bitty perfectly. In the summer time i have found the slower the fall the longer it stays in the strike zone, on the lakes that i fish. I also saw that your livescope is coming in, one thing i recommend with Livescope, some add weights above their jigs, i add a glass bead above my jig for the purposes of seeing it better, its far easier to keep up with your jig when you can associate it with 2 marks in the water. Just my 2 cents

I generally just flip a double jig rig when LS fishing ... and it's most often two 1/16oz jigs. And YES, it is much easier to pick your jigs out of the various "marks" showing on the screen. While I'm normally fishing the 12-20' depth range, sometimes from 10-30' away from the cover/fish ... if you're fishing shallower water, then a couple of 1/32oz jigs would work just fine, while also offering a "choice" of color combos &/or shapes of your plastics. In the dozen or so times I've double jig rigged w/LS, I've doubled up twice, so far.

I always use a weight above my tiny jigs when Live Scoping. This allows my jig to get down quickly but allows the jig to gently float down to the fish.
I actually pay closer attention to the fish when fishing these light jigs under a heavier weight. I see more bites than I feel. One tip is to watch the weight for any sudden sideways movements as this is a telltale sign that the jig has been taken.

I put split shot above mine, for two reasons. I can’t feel the jig due to the weight and mostly, I’m too impatient to wait.
You take a 1/48th jig head with a 1 inch plastic, I feel like my life is ticking by waiting for it to fall. Am I losing anything doing this other than increasing the fall rate? I’ve never got into having to have something fall painstakingly slow.

I hate light jigs . I use nothing smaller than 1/8th oz here .
