I seem to have a hard time getting bit on 1/2oz jigs. They are a bit harder to fish, but I get bit way more on 1/4 and 3/8oz jigs. Add a bulky trailer (like a sweet beaver or a 4" chigger craw) to a 3/8oz jig and it really slows the fall.
You may find you get more bites when you size down on the weight.
The same goes for my drop shot fishing. I don't really like to go over a 1/4oz weight. The only time I go up to 3/8oz on my drop shot rig is when it is really windy. Seems the slower fall is the ticket to more bites, especially when the fishing is slow.
One killer jig technique I found is to use a 1/4oz finesse jig with a 4" senko threaded on as a trailer. Lights out!
