To me most day it doesn't matter. I seem to catch them about the same. The biggest reason I use ties is I don't have to push the dang grub back up or replace it, that saves time. I will say there's sometimes I get more bites on ties, under a float marabou is hard to beat. But when I go light I prefer a Bobby garland 1/32 or less. I find more times than not it's predation over the kind of jig or color.

Now saying all that one of the best crappie fishermen I know uses 3 colors of tubes and 2 sizes of jig heads and he can out fish me most days. (1/16oz - 1/8oz red chartreuse/black chartreuse an yellow and white tubes)
