What's your thoughts? Do you use light jigs?

Great video. Light jigs are all I use, heaviest being 1/16th. If they bite 1/16 then I stay with it. If they don't bite or short strike then I go with a lighter jig. Almost always use a nibble with the jig unless they are really biting good then no nibble. Cast out a little then count it down to desired depth. Slooooooowly reel in at desired depth. Get under the boat and start jigging, repeat. 6 lb line for most but ultralight jigs get 4 lb line
I tye and use a lot of 1/80 and 1/64 oz jigs. catch some of my biggest on the smallest
I am going to try tomorrow.
and... I make my GF watch your video so she understand a bit more how to fish! lol!
Thanks, I enjoy your vids! Keep posting.

I was using a 1/64 bream cricket just yesterday myself but I wasn't ketchn crappie
I love the 1/32 Oz jig, but deep I just have a hard time waiting on them to get down much like you stated in this video! Then if there is any wind I have another issue with the small jigs, lol! Here sometimes I even will go to a 1/4 Oz jig and use it as bait and weight, in summer will have a minnow above that on a Gamakatsu Drop Shot hook, like a #2 or maybe even a #1. I have also use them heavier jig on the bottom and a tiny jig above that. That little jig would just be mostly thread and wings made from Peacock Swords.
Spring and fall I am 1/32 Oz Roadrunner or Pony long line trolling! I did manage to get hold of some 1/48 Oz Pony heads and am looking forward to trying them out. Glad I have plenty of heads with Sickle hooks to last me a very long time. I also have plenty of real Roadrunner heads and I do like them a lot, but like the Sickle hooks in the Pony heads a lot too!

You fishing shallow water for them Bream? If so you should get a fly rod and some Bream Killers, they can not resist that and that is some serious fun! May for me is when I love to do that because once you find aBream beds just cast that fly out there and let it sink, no work at all! Just watch the While legs until you can't see them, then watch the knot of you fly line and leader and if it jerks, you jerk, lol!Quote:
