What size jigs would you guys use around timber and rock in 1-10ft of water.  I have Arky and football style in 3/8 and 1/2 oz.  I am missing out on not throwing a lighter jig or are these two sizes suite most applications?  I have a couple 1oz jigs for nasty deep stuff but I hardly ever get in to that.

haha. great choice!!! for your 10 ft depth range those two should be perfect! what trailers do you like best on those jigs?

Those sizes and styles should be fine for the cover/structure you described. No need to get crazy. If your going to be grass fishing, I would add some jigs designed for grass. Also in those sizes.

dont be afraid to drop some 1/4 Jigs, I have caught some nice bass with it in shallow water when water is cold.

A 5/16 Oz. Eakins finesse jig will round out your selection.  You will be dialed. Good luck.

Nice looking Jigs...any discount to the bassresource member? hehe, I might place an order today.

Nice, an order is on the way...

I'v caught a ton of fish throwing 1/4 oz jigs. Some days the slower fall is the trigger. The lighter jigs IMO are also better for scooting over big rocks and not falling down(like heavier jigs tend to) in them and getting snagged up continuously.

The trailer and the weight of the jig will determine your fall rate. I usually fish a 1/2 oz keitech arky head with a ragetail craw or baby craw trailer. The keitech jig head is made of tungsten so it's a smaller profile.

i generally fish the arky head in every situation except rocks.

In my jig boxes are 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16 and 1/2.

I use 1/4 more than all the others combined.

3/8 and 1/2 probably compromise 90% of my jig fishing. It never hurts to have as many weights as possible though, sometimes the fish will prefer a much slower or faster fall. As someone else stated, the trailer used also affects fall rate. You could add on a bulkier trailer and achieve a slower rate of fall with the same jig.

This is a very opinionated question.  For me its also lake dependent.  In a couple lakes I will throw about 1/2-3/4 big jigs in that.  Most other lakes it will be 5/16 finesse or 3/8 widegap.

Depends where you're fishing. If I'm fishing an ox-bow or smaller reservoir I will want to use 3/16, 1/4, 5/16 and maybe 3/8. If I'm fishing a river system or larger reservoir I will use 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4. Never found use for a 1 oz jig seems like overkill.

You haven't seen the pond behind my house lol, I need a 1oz to get through all the grass.

I agree with the other guys throwing in the 5/16oz jig.

If it is sparse cover that you are pitching to in shallower water the 5/16oz is nice. I like how you can put a smaller chunk on it, downsizing the jig, but it still falls at a nice pace.

3/8 oz and 1/2 oz are otherwise awesome sizes in my opinion.

I do go to 3/4oz in 20 foot water...but you were just talking 1-10 feet.

If stuff is really nasty/matted I switch to a straight shank texas rig with heavy bullet sinker instead of a heavier jig.

I dunno about that - I had the most success with 3/8 oz bullet head jigs in that pond since they seemed to not snag on pond scum as much as heavier, bulkier jigs.

Out in the middle of the pond it gets pretty matted up with grass so you need a heavier jig to get it to the bottom, and the scum isn't as bad either.  I only need the heavier jigs when I am fishing from my boat.  I agree fishing a heavy jig from the bank sucks because all you will bring back is gunk but out in the middle you need something to get pass all the grass.

Just wondering do you guys use rattles on your jigs or not? I prefer no rattle, have had better luck without them!

No rattles here!

I really like finesse style round head jigs in those types of situations.  5/16oz and 3/8oz are the 2 weights I use the most.
