There is no finite answer to your question. It depends on what the bass are feeding on.

I remember years ago there were a bunch of us that fished the mouth of Narrow River, morning, Noon and night. Some days a 3oz Smilin' Bill was the killer. Next morning it was 1/2oz bullet jigs fished on an egg. 2 days later it was a 1 1/2 Upperman red and white stripe. You just never know. Not only what they are feeding on but the tide stage, wind, current, moon, etc.

If I am going out and am going to focus on jigs I bring an assortment of sizes, shapes and colors.

No boat, back in the suds.

if you're in the boat, have both butterly and hammered diamonds from 3-10oz. that way you can jig bass/blues or be ready for tuna and cod also.
