you really need an assortment of sizes, heres what I do. I use 1/32 and 1/24oz. size 6 and 8 hooks for my kiptail jigs most of the time but there have been times when I used 1/64or 1/80 with tiny hooks for bluegills. Most of my fishing is with these jigs under a small foam float and I add a split shot between the float and the jig to give the setup enough weight to throw. Put a crappie nibble on the jigs hook and use a 2" cigar shaped foam float. I know I got off topic a lot here but just trying to give ya a little edge when you go out there. now if it's deeper water you might need to go heavier on the jig and possibly even do away with the float. when you fish water around 3 foot deep, be sure not to use a weighted float because it splats down too much and spooks the fish, just use the split shot above the jig, this can make a big difference, my old timer fishingbuddy taught me this the hard way. hope I didn't ramble too much.
