As a kid I did.
But not as an adult, really, until I saw with video with the guy (in Kentucky I think) catching White Bass with the "Lightning Bug" Jig by Mister Twister (1/32nd oz) placed 3' below a bobber.
So I decided to buy the Slip Bobbers.
I thought I would bypass making actual home-molded Jigs, and use Split Shot Sinkers.
The long and the short of it, was that it was a bit silly, because I discovered that I didn't need conventional "jig". What you're casting for Wipers etc, is the Bobber.
What I ended up doing was buying a Fly Tying Vice again, to make "streamer" with a 3 turn lead wire rap, to be fished with a Bobber from my Spinning Rod.
(Actually, tiny Split Shot work okay for jigs slightly heavier, but not over 1/4 oz. They make for ugly jigs kind of.)
Anyway, the Jigs I made were based on several models:

But, the funny thing is that I never expected to be tying flies again.
