What's your favorite panfish and/or larger jigs?
Willow minnow. They are easy to make too. Find some of those skinny pounded spinner blades and run a hook through the hole and solder it to the blade and then use some model paint, use whatever color or design you want. Lots of different hook and blade sizes to play with also.
I am very quickly becoming a fan of the 1 1/3" lindy darter...
MTAngler-Their action decreases dramatically when I tip them with a minnow head, so I fish them bare hooked. I have had some pretty successful trips using just the darter. I didn't catch the numbers I would have with a Halis, but every fish I caught was a keeper on more than one occasion. The first trip out this season the fish must have been realy hungry because I caught some pretty small perch with the darter. I have yet to be skunked with one.
My go to jig is a pink perch hali's usually with a dropper. It'll catch about anything under the ice
