Light jig question

[Auston22688]

lighten up your line , go to 4 lb mono .....hooks much larger than 8 or 10 and 1/48 to 1/64 jig heads are for sure NOT the right meds with an inch long plastic .

I’m afraid I’m not following your statement. What size jig head would you recommend for a Bobby garland itty bitty or an atx baby shad?

I would reccomend a 1/32, it fits the itty bitty perfectly. In the summer time i have found the slower the fall the longer it stays in the strike zone, on the lakes that i fish. I also saw that your livescope is coming in, one thing i recommend with Livescope, some add weights above their jigs, i add a glass bead above my jig for the purposes of seeing it better, its far easier to keep up with your jig when you can associate it with 2 marks in the water. Just my 2 cents

I generally just flip a double jig rig when LS fishing ... and it's most often two 1/16oz jigs. And YES, it is much easier to pick your jigs out of the various "marks" showing on the screen. While I'm normally fishing the 12-20' depth range, sometimes from 10-30' away from the cover/fish ... if you're fishing shallower water, then a couple of 1/32oz jigs would work just fine, while also offering a "choice" of color combos &/or shapes of your plastics. In the dozen or so times I've double jig rigged w/LS, I've doubled up twice, so far.
