I always try to use the lightest jig I can to just maintain bottom content. With the strong winds we had on some days this week I had to switch jigs often to find the best presentation. I rarely use a 1/2 oz. but if you must you have to change. The main reason for using a light jig is that some weedy bottom content will hang up the jig. I also use a stand up jig if there are some weeds in the area I am fishing.

We have had good success with the new Vegas Northland jig this week.
