I have been tying only 1/8 oz. jigs, but recently decide to go down to 1/16 oz.
I thought it would be a lot harder, but it is not.
Then I was given some heads in 1/48 oz. size, and wow... these things are tiny!
And so very light. Makes me wonder how long it will take them to get down to depth.
But as we all know, sometimes the strike comes on the FALL -
whether it is crappie jigs, bass jigs, plastic worms, spoons........

1/8 ounce compared to 1/48 ounce

When I first started tying, I mistakenly purchased some 70 denier thread and some tiny
chenilles. Looks like now I will be able to use those materials.

Here is a comparison of two tied jigs in 1/8 oz. and 1/48 oz. - - -

I think I am going to enjoy experimenting with the smaller size!
