What size jig should I use for gills and crappie on a slip bobber?

Wondering what jig size you would recommend for gills and crappie. Thinking of trying either small ice fishing spoon jigs or weighted jigs but worried certain sizes might be to big for gills.

I use 1/16th and 1/8th jigs for Crappie and 1/32 or smaller for bluegill. I use 100oz jigs for whale sharks in the gulf of mexico.

Wow a 100oz Jig, that is impressive.

haf2fsh- The erie deerie company makes 100th oz jigs already painted in many different colors. Fleet farm carries them. Im partial to the ones that are half chartruese and half lime and i use the 1" gulp minnows in watermelon pearl color for both crappie and gils matched with 4lb and a rocket bobber --shed

I use ice jigs/plastic and possibly waxies for early shallow gills in only a few feet of water. For a bobber i use a small Styrofoam float from thill with a small weight in between. I have no problems casting or pitching into cover with 4lb mono. I use 8ft light action rods. When I am fishing for crappies exclusively I use 1/32oz or bigger hair jigs or jig/plastic combo on the same rod/reel set ups. Though I do have one 6ft light action rod with 4lb test that I use only for skipping a jig way back under docks and lifts. This spring that's where I have been finding my biggest crappie. I dont use a bobber much for gills or crappie after the spring unless I HAVE to. As for jig size you have to let the fish tell you how big they are willing to hit. But I regularly catch gills on jigs as big as 1/16oz and crappie on 1/8oz and even on occasion 1/4oz in deep water.

For shallow water, pitching around stumps, down trees, lily pads and docks. I use 4# line, small thrill bobber, and a 100 oz. jig with plastic tail, tipped with a waxie. Jigs can only be bought at Cabela's in bulk, and you must paint your own. Rod is a 5 1/2 ft. ultra light with Mitchell 308, but anything in that range will do the job.

I use a 1/64 oz traditional Sink'n Jig from Northland 95% of the time. I put a small lead sinker about 8 inches above the jig to help it fall faster and allow me to cast better. Plus, they are super cheap and fishing crappies / gills in the spring leads to a lot of snags lol. I fish mainly plastics, but if I fish crappie minnows I'll use the same jig vs. a regular hook. It's just a personal preference / success rate thing from on the water experience.

Personally I go as small as possibly. 1/64th or 1/32nd is good. Tungsten is good because a tungsten jig of the same weight is considerably smaller than lead.

Id use a small 3 or 4mm tungsten jig. Tungsten allows it to get down fast while having a small profile. You can get tungsten most anywhere now days. I found this site via facebook. Good guys and reasonable priced tungsten jigs. a bonus is they're eyelets are always paint free www.kendersoutdoors.com tight lines and good Luck out there

I'd like to error on the small side. I'd also use lighter test line, 4-6 lb test range. For a bobber, just enough. You want low resistance as they go for the bite.

My go-to size is 1/64 oz. with a #8 hook if gills are most common. If crappie are most common I will sometimes use a 1/32 oz. with a #6 hook. Using a slip bobber with a brass or glass bead on the top of the tube will help your line to slide smoothly.
