What are some uses for 1/8oz size 2 hook jigs besides crappie?

I accidentally ordered 1/8 oz, size 2 hook, round weedless jig heads when i meant to buy larger ones for making bass jigs... i immediately threw a bunch into my crappie box, but what else could i do with them? Are they too small to use for finicky small mouth? Are they even usable for crappie with the weedless fibers on them?

    trim off the weed guards and use them with small root beer colored curly tail grubs for surf perch and corbina.

    or you can use them with a live minnow or leech for walleye and smallmouth.

    also good for ice fishing.

    I been looking for some of those! Not weedless ones though. I use jig heads exactly like that for two-inch grubs. They're too large for my normal bluegill and crappie lures which are one-inch long but work fine for two-inch grubs. I've even rigged three-inch plastic worms on their with success. With the two-inch grubs I use to catch largemouth bass. None over a pound or so but it's tons of fun on light tackle.

    Cut the weed guard off if you don't need it. They should be perfect for smallmouth as well, you could use them to rig up three-inch tubes for them.
