I always carry a full range of jigs up to and including 1/4 oz.
Don't use the 1/4 oz much, but on rough windy days and down by the dam
where there is 42 feet of water they work well. I prefer 1/16 oz most of the time, but ya gotta go where they're at. If you think about it, a 1/4 oz jig isn't
any bigger(profile) than the minnows they eat. Does fall faster though.
