In my book, small soft plastics rigged on a light ball head jig is hard too beat for any species. I make or modify my own soft plastics, preferring straight tails vs curl tail or shad tail (Mr Twister sells both).

The key to using any light lure is speed of retrieve, depth fished, rod tip imparted action. The above are my best producing lures for six fish species. Only one of the above isn't hand poured and all are rigged on mostly 1/16 oz ball head jigs (always unpainted). If I downsize, I may go to a 1/32 oz jig; if fish are of good quality (general size), I increase length to 2.5" and rig on a 1/8 oz. jig and for deeper water.
