Of all your baits?

Nice fish. Good to hear your bud may hold off a little before selling!

1/16 oz weedless sickle hook jig and a bobby garland baby shad style plastic. Blue ice and black/chart and my top two colors.

In the spring I will go up to 1/32 oz, in the middle of winter I will switch to an 1/8 oz jig and a bigger plastic or jigging spoon.

It is hard to beat that Blue Ice color

I'm a jig and minnow guy. I've tried artificial baits, but I must smell real bad or something. Whatever it is, they aren't interested in my artificial presentation.

When it comes to other species, I have no problem landing big fish on lures, jig, etc. Just not crappie.

Slather a good coating of Slab Sauce on those artificial baits & see if that helps. :biggrin

Seriously though, I'm subject to having many different "flavors" on my hands when out fishing (oil, gas, food, nicotine, etc.) and I still catch fish on jigs. Not that there's anything wrong or "cheating" about using live bait along with artificial bait, as I've used both separately and in combination for several species over the years. What really matters is you catch fish, have a good time doing it, and return home safely to enjoy the fruits of your efforts.

in all actuality if i only had one jig it would likely be a sparkly pearl , chart would be my back up if i had a second as a back up

Nice work !

Too many soft plastics on light jigs to mention that catch all fish species at one time or another.

Here are just a few:

6' light action rod, 8# test braid; 1/32. 1/24, 1/16 oz unpainted ball head jigs with proper hook sizes; slow unsteady retrieve.
I catch fish with all the above in depths from 3'- 9' depending on the day and fish location(s).
It's very satisfying to catch fish on lures you make.
