1/2oz black and blue.... id really have to think about the model. Either a flipping style or heavy cover. Maybe even a hybrid style between flipping and swimming. Trailer would on be depending on the structure. Grass or wood.
Me and a fishing buddy always talk about this. Can’t ever decide on what it would be

Ha that sounds like me with a Carolina rig. I’ve caught one fish ever using a C-rig and I’ve fished it probably 10-15 hours. Just no confidence in it. One day I’m gonna find someone who knows what they are doing and I’m just gonna watch them fish it to learn I guess.

Use a baby brush hog, a zoom french fry or a zoom super fluke on that C-rig and that should help your stats catching fish on a C-rig.

Will do. I wonder if I am throwing them in the right kinds of places. I’ve dragged them on main lake points, secondary points, and along rip rap by dam.

Man I've caught some many good fish lately on the Oldham copper 3/4oz football jig with rage craw trailer (alabama craw in color)
But that 6th sense 1/2oz hybrid jig is so hard to be beat with it being some versitile being able to swim it, flip it or drag it out deep using the same rage craw trailer...

Jeff, you're missing out. When they are on a jig bite there's nothing else like it! Frog and jig bites are my favorite. Pitching a jig in the middle of a cedar tree on Ray Bob and watching for that little line jump. Or punching a big jig in the thick grass and BAM! It's fun and with as many fish are you're on you would love it.

1/2 ounce black/blue if I only had one.
I will give one a shot again tomorrow. I have been mostly a am bite the last few days so its hard to put down what I have been using with success..
I agree with that bite being just behind a frog, I pitch a lot with biffle bug, craw etc... I like the idea of saying I think a bass is here and tossing to it and boom... similar to how I fish a frog.

If I only had one jig to throw it would be this one. Booyah Boo Jig 1/2 oz this color. Put a WM/ red flake Zoom Chunk or Rage Craw on back. It has a great rattle, good stout hook, and comes thru cover well. Also has a flat bottom so it lands upright most of the time.

Oldham Jigs 1/2oz Trailer Hitch jig in PB&J with a Zoom Fat Albert Twin Tail grub in PB&J. Love the screw lock keeper. Takes a few more seconds to rig up but the trailer will last forever. This is an inexpensive fish catching combination on Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn.

1/2 ounce mini ike flip jig black and blue. Small profile that catches all size fish. I threw every jig known to man and just didn't have confidence. Finally started throwing this smaller profile jig and some days wear the bass out. Also had dry patches on a jig as well.

I would choose a 1/2 oz black and blue colored flipping style jig with a recessed line tie and fairly pointed/rounded head design so that you can use this jig to flip into lightly matted vegetation or if it's not too windy you can use it with success offshore in 25'+. In regards to a trailer I would recommend using a Yamamoto Flappin hog since the density of that plastic will help the lure fall faster and give you a better feel when dragging it across the bottom in deeper water during windy days offshore. It is also a wide enough trailer to be able to have some nail weights placed into therefore giving you a heavier jig for offshore techniques. A black and blue colored jig works across the nation from the gin clear waters in upstate New York fisheries to the dirty water we often face here in the southern United States.
