Sometimes, if I didn't have the option to downsize to something very small, I wouldn't catch anything.Just think about how small the creatures are that bluegills and crappies eat.Why wouldn't you try to imitate that? I find that I often catch larger fish on smaller baits, and I think it's because they better mimic what they are actually eating.
We have alot of lakes that get pressured hard every day.small 2mm and 3mm on those finicky panfish.
Was visiting a web site looking for some jigs and came across some tungsten jigs in size 12. For those who use small sizes could you explain why you go so small. I use 6-8 for my jigs and ice lures and no. 8 for trebles and have no problem hooking gills and crappies.
