I know about casting small jigs, I tie 1/80, 1/100, and 1/124 oz jigs with nymph patters similar to flies for fly fishing for trout fishing with on 2lb and 1lb line. They are also killer for bream, but I wouldn't say they are a make or break piece of tackle for panfishing, just another tool that can work.

A 1/80 oz jig hook is about perfect for slow falling a cricket into place though.
