For me, I have to agree with trypman1 color and size! For me color is critical hand in hand with water clarity. I change the color for clarity use mg the 3 foot depth, meaning if I can see my jig down 3’ or more in the water it’s time to change colors from the stained colors to a more clear water color! Have seen it so critical where on a partly cloudy day we used the stain color until the sun popped out, then grab the pole with the clear water color. It definitely made a difference that day! Then Size for sure, in spring and fall I like to longline troll and I use a 1/32 oz Roadrunner and I feel that it’s important not to use heavier as it will run lower on the water column than I want!
