IMO.....the lighter the better. If you are using a 3/8 oz, you are probably not catching as many fish as you would using a lighter jig head.

That all depends...lighter is not always better and right now i will catch 7 -1 vs anyone in my boat throwing a 1/8oz...trout want the bait fast and action and the 1/4 oz allows it to sink faster and dart harder
And in other situations a 3/8oz will catch more due to coming off the bottom
Last two days all my fish were caught in 7ft of water on the bottom and today i was throwing a 1/4oz and not catching near as fast as yesterday..put on 3/8 just to see and caught the rest of my trout on 3/8..
