1/16oz ballhead w/#2 Aberdeen (weedless) for casting single jig to wood cover. As far as the weedguard goes, I prefer the Y shaped plastic style guard (clear), but the brush style is acceptable (clear or black). If I could get the 1/16oz w/#2 hook and the Y shaped weedguard, I'd take 200 of them right now. :cool: (no interest in the brush style at the moment)
As far as open hook jigheads ... I've got a ton of those in multiple sizes, so no interest there, either.
First crappie I ever caught I was fishing for bass and got it on a 1/4oz jig and a 2" augertail, not a clue about the hook. Best for me since getting into crappie has been 1/16th oz jig and I think their 1" or maybe 1 1/2" auger tails. Again no idea the hook size!
1/16 40 % of the time 1/8 60 % .
1/16 probably 90% of the time with either #4 or #6 hook. The other 10% is split between 1/8 and 1/32 depending on conditions of the day.
1/32 about 85% of the time, 1/16 for the balance.
About half and half maybe for me ...1/32 and 1/16 ball head sickle hook number 6
Rarely carry anything else
#4, #6 light wire aberden hook.
Bare, 1/32, 1/4, 1/8 weights.
Minnows, or tipped with artifical bait, (hair or plastic).
