Found a bargin on 1/4oz jigs.
How do you use them?l
When catching fish 40-50 foot deep in 65-85 feet of water, during the winter.
I have lots of friends that use them when livescoing to get it to them fast.

Use them sometimes when spider rigging if it's really windy
they work well if you have a small boat , as an anchor :Rofl
all kidding aside , i almost never go that heavy ,but on a stiff rod in deep water with braid and livescope ....maybe yes
I use them when it is windy or if I am fishing from the bank for distance under a slip float bobber. Tie them to your line with a loop knot or a small hook snap.

I use them when I'm bass fishing but for crappie I use 1/8 or lighter. Most of the lakes I fish are shallow. On windy days I think a heavier jig can be useful.
I use them anytime the fish will let me, preferably with a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Most people trying to Livescope would be 100 percent better off to use 1/4 or heavier all the time, a lot easier to get the jig on the fish in the “cone”. Sometimes they won’t let you use a profile that matches with the 1/4. Even then though will use 1/4oz egg or split shot above the smaller jigs.

If it is windy, in deeper water or in strong current.
:hesaid X2
Windy conditions or when fish are deep and you want to get down faster.
I don't even think I own any.
I use 1/16 90% of the year, 1/32 during the spring and fall when they are shallow. I occasionally use 1/8, but not very often.
For deep winter presentations, I prefer to use a spoon or jigging rap.
I don’t use anything that heavy, not even in saltwater.
I use 1/4 oz several times throughout the year. Anything from pushing, pulling or single poling. I'll go against the grain here. I don't like 1/4 oz when live scoping. I prefer a 1/16 so I can keep the bait near the fish longer but some days the wind makes me go up to 1/4 oz.
I use them pushing in shallow water 1 to 7 foot of water...and vertical jigging in 15 foot of water and deeper....
Punch through grass/ hydrilla .
Great when livescoping and don't want to add a weightQuote:

never have used them that big. Usually 1/16 is as heavy as I go, and add a split shot in needed
I have some 1/4 heads with size 2 hooks I use when fishing deep bridge pilings. Downsize the hook and you will find a 1/4oz jig head is really not that large.
I have very few but wind and/or strong current may require them.
