I know you touched on it on one of the Wednesday night outings but, why the 1/16th head? I vaguely remember the answer, but that would be great info to share on the site!
Hey Adam, I 100% agree these types of threads are awesome and great content for the site. Everyone can add something to this thread!
I use a 1/16ths head and have for as long as I can remember because I WAAAAAAY prefer the slow fall of that bait, especially when I rig it with a large profile bait. Sure the Rideau is choked in spots and those mats can be tricky but there's always a hole to get it thru. Once thru it's a big profile bait with a slow fall. I swear I get more bites as it gives them a few more seconds to see it versus a 1/2oz jig punching thru at em. I find this lighter jig really shines when dock flipping.
I absolutely whacked Largies late fall with this jig on a crazy windy day on Constance Lake when Big Jim and I hit it for a few hours hoping it would be a bit sheltered. I rigged a Jackall Cover Craw backwards. Unreal how they crushed it that day slowly drifted back to the boat.
