    Default Micro jigs


    I plan on doing a two day trout trip next week so I painted and tied up some 1/48 and 1/80 jigs on #12 VMC jig hooks which is the smallest jig hook I have found. These fish really like the little stuff. A #12 sickle hook is in the middle on the nickel for comparison. Left some without tail using thread or flash for body. Name:  IMG_5331.jpg

    I believe I have some heads 1/100 very very small. They are good for bluegills. Also the other crappies also love them that small. you need a magnifying glass to tie them up. That nickel in the picture 1924 might be worth something.

    Jim did you coat the flash/thread body jigs? I use a UV top coat on jigs like that. Really makes them shiney and protects the material. Plus adds UV. Great work as always. Good luck.

    Sweet jigs!
    The best thing my dad ever gave me was his love of fishing.

    I didn't put a top coat on these. Used Krinkle Mirror Flash for the shiny ones. 4-5 strands will tie 3 jigs. Total length is 1/2 ", trout are hatchery raised on pellets so trying to make small baits. Olive gold combination should work very well there.

    The little 1/80 was the star of my trip. Caught over half my trout in the two days fishing it with a split shot a foot up under a small float. Really came through later in the day when bite slows down. Didn't catch one on the 1/48 baits. Constantly changing colors, catch one on first couple drifts along the weed on the far bank and nothing for 15 minutes. Change color and catch another one. Missed more strikes with the tiny baits but wouldn't touch anything larger.
