Both sides depending how fast I want it to fall.
Particular brand?
Both.
1/16 in water deeper than 20ft. 1/32 for less.
Usually on an unpainted weedless jig, but sometimes on a roadrunner.
I usually buy them on eBay, but there are several jig makers on here. Don't find many weedless jigs in stores for a reasonable price.
I prefer the single wire style, but use the bristle brush type too, I clip all but one or two bristles from them.
Blue ice and lights out (black/chart) are my preferred colors.
I prefer the Slabanator Shad bodies, myself. Cheaper, tougher, and just as soft/flexible IMHO.
I use 1/16oz weedless jigheads for casting. Grousefly makes mine : ballhead - unpainted - Y guard - #2 Aberdeen hook. (also have some with the bristle brush style guard, and 1/32oz heads with the same features as listed for the 1/16oz)
are we talking about them teeny tiny ones ? or regular size ?
I think mine are the 2 or 2 1/2 inch
The 2” are great for 1/16 or 1/32 with anywhere from a size 6 all the way up to a size 1 hook.
I like 1/16 oz heads. Caught lots of fish on them BeeGees.
My favorite BG baby shad. I like using mine on 1.5gram jig head or crappie magnet 1/32oz double cross (1.2gram). If you haven’t yet try white pearl color.
The BGBS are fine crappie baits. I use them quite often and as has been said, some I put on a 1/16 oz. head and others on a 1/8 oz. head depending upon what depth I am fishing. I really like the "Double Cross" jig heads (from Grizzly Jig Co.). I believe these are made by Crappie Magnet. They tend to hold most plastics on better and have never let me down.
I like the 2" size. I use them on a 1/16 jig head and they are very productive. I fish using a slip float that I make. That is all I need. Have some hot grease and hot sauce ready for later. This one is my favorite color combination.

1/16 if you want to stay tight to the jig . 1/32 if you like to free fall the jigQuote:

What they said.
I go with a heavier jig in deeper water, or if I want a big profile, and I use smaller jigs in shallow water, or finesse bites.
I use the BGBS a lot. My go to jig head is a minnow head from 1/32 to 1/8 with the heavy for vertical jigging. Hooks no smaller than #6 or the gap gets crowded and fish are missed. If I could only take a few they would be 1/32 and 1/16 with #4 black chrome sickle hooks. That’s the best I’ve found.
Have a bunch of them. Never caught a fish that I remember. Know lots of people swear by them
