If the online converter is correct 1/16=1.7718
1/24=1.1812
1/32=.88592
I always checked mine on my digital reloading scale, which measures in grains. Most companies jigs are really close to the weight. I did have some that when used with a float were a tad heavy
I've noticed something interesting in painted versus unpainted jigs; the painted jigs seem to be heavier. I try to select floats and split shot that cause my jigs to be almost neutrally bouyant, and many times I use tubes. I make the jigs myself, so I'm pretty sure they're the same weight to start. However, I have to change floats if I switch from an unpainted to a painted jig; the painted jig will cause the float to slowly (extremely slowly!) sink, rather than rest just at water level. I've only noticed it with 1/32 oz jigs or smaller. Anyone else experienced this?
A few times, I've used the slowly sinking float to my advantage and caught more and bigger fish than other methods.
Well, paint is adding mass to the jig...
Are You Using Lead Based Paint?
