Hi fellow anglers, I was wondering what's your go-to Vibrato size for whitefish. I typically fish 25-40 FOW and use the 1/2 ounce size, but almost always get them on the second rod with meegz or menace jigs. Should I downsize to 3/8? I appreciate any advise or pointers. Thanks, John

Experiment
Exactly. I usually start off with a 1/2 oz size. If I don't mark or catch anything I'll downsize or switch to a plastic bait until I find what they want to chew on.
We may also be getting into the bloodworm hatch. The whitefish feed heavily on these worms and often won't eat other bait/lures. Having a high hook with a small worm/nymph has worked well in this case (with the vibrato on bottom).
