I agree that the main reason to use lighter jigs is fall rate and offering finicky fish something different. When casting, you might consider using 1/16 for finding fish and 1/32 when you find them. Sometimes a longer look is all it takes for them to hit. For tightlining, I would use a 1/8 or larger. IMO, you'll need to add a weight to fish a a 1/32 or 1/16 oz. jig. I prefer the 1/8 or bigger jig for tightlining because I want to feel the brush as I work it. I started off using 1/16 oz. jigs and time an time again could not "feel" my jig and discovered it was a couple of feet behind me on a limb.
