What are everyone's favorite or "go to" jig head sizes? Or do you alternate depending on presentation? Thanks for any replies!

If less than 15', my favorite is 1/24 on bottom, 1/32 on top, or 1/16 on bottom and 1/48 on top. If more than 15', I like 1/8 on bottom and whatever else on top, depending on wind conditions, ect.

Always use 1/16th unless the wind won't allow it.

Depends on water temp, depth, time of day and if the fish are hungry. My "most of the time" jig weight is 1/8 round head.

1/8 most of the time, but have used 1/16 in low wind. Problem is, it's usually windy where I am.

I use several sizes of jig heads 1/64 number 8 on 4 lb test 1/32 number 6 on 4 lb test and 6 lb test 1/16 on 6 lb test 1/8 rarely 1/4 never crappie simply cannot resist a super slow falling potential prey item and in many waters I visit the fish wont accept a heavy jig on a regular basis
