My favorite sizes are 1/32,1/24 and 1/16 for crappie.I can put a bigger hook than normal in my 1/32 mold. For gills 1/80 to 1/32 in sizes 6-12. I just started sauger fishing from the bank and caught five my first trip.I was throwing 1/2 oz on a 4/0 jig hook with a stinger hook. Variety is the key for me,can't fish for just one species.
