Like Shores I seldom use anything over 1/32 oz, and have landed bass over 4 lbs and stripers up to 7 lbs on mini jigs. My buddy landed two bass on back to back casts over 5 lbs last spring on 1/64th oz jigs with 4lb line. I think the thing is quality of the tackle including hook, line, rod and reel, just look at the size of trout and salmon caught on tiny flies by flyfisherman.
