So I'm interested in your comment about the 1/32 changing to a 1/43
First, how do you measure these jigs with different hooks.
Second, what is a jigs weight after an average tied up and do you measure them and consider that in your planned presentation for finicky fish?

My usual preference is a red hook and a 1/16th with a #2 hook.
If I get a 1/32, I believe it usually has a #6 and I would like a #4....just me, I guess maybe I could see that thought as the reason for getting lack of bites.
Are you going to smaller hooks for the light weight aspect? And doesn't that just get you a bunch of bream biting because of the smaller hook?

That and a 1/64 are what I mostly have on, and fish water down to 16’. Current changes things but the fish love the smaller jigs when they go into finicky mode and won’t touch a 1/32 with a BGBS. Not blowing my own horn but fellas,it just plain works. It takes more patience than anything else. Casting them with a float works some but there are some you’re missing. Wish you were close by, I’d be glad to show you.
