i use 1/16 bitsy, if u look at the head it is designed to cut threw cover. guys listen i have used them all ,this jig is the meow. went out sun my buddy and i 20 fish 3 over 5lbs too many 4lbers to count
Sounds like quite a day...you gotta have some pics from that one!?
you got it. i randomly found it this year and it's really good for getting a few things since shipping is always free.
warning: selection isn't the greatest and make sure you know exactly what you're choosing in terms of lure size, color, depth for cranks etc. their descriptions aren't the best and i always look up on other sites first and make sure their product matches. their 5/8 oz. bitsy bug is really 3/8 oz. too. i got it thinking 5/8 was actually made but it was really 3/8 oz. not that i couldn't use that but still...

volume, i have too many pics of huge fish, i just don't post em .some pics give my spots away. plus i don't like to brag
gotcha. so by saying you caught 20 bass, including 3 5pounders and numerous 4 pounders in the same night, isn't bragging?
Not to be the doubter, but that sounds better than most people's season, mine included, and you did it all in one night.
we seem to be getting off topic tho. one more question about using a jig. When I fish, I'm almost always fishing some weeds, mostly lillpads and I'm trying to figure out what test I should get. Is there a disadvantage to having line that's stronger than I actually need? I'm headed to bass pro in an hour so make it snappy!
If you're using braid, you can get away with thinner line that is stronger. Some people don't like thick line because they say its more visible. I use 20# braid on almost all my rods and always fish weeds. I don't get too many break offs with it. Some people use 50-60#, but I think that might be a little overkill. I've gotten a lure stuck in a tree on 20# test and got it out by pulling hard enough to straighten the hook out, so its pretty strong stuff.
personal preference but i'd go heavier the thicker you fish. i use 40-50 and it works well. one thing to be mindful of is how much line the reel holds. so if it's rated at like 110 yards/10 lb test, you're not going to fit much 40 lb. braid on it. i posted this before when i googled it and it's a good guide
