Thread: Floating bream jigs

Morning Shadow, If you can go to YouTube and search for How To Make Floating Jig Heads by raymond smith. He goes through what you'll need, as well as how to do it. Hope it helps, and good luck. Eric

Since they like pellets and ignore other offerings you can try not feeding them for a few days and see if they are hungry and will eat other offerings. Try a tiny jig under 1" to try and match the hatch using colors similar to the food pellets or a fly rod with small poppers. If they already have a belly full of pellets they probably won't bite other baits as much.

classic time to throw a mop fly either on a bare hook or 1/64 these are the nubs from a washing mitt can be colored with marker and holds slabsauce

Deer hair pellet flies are exactly what you need , we used to tie em when I was a kid, hatchery trout go bananas over em …..bet pellet fed bream would as well ….
Amazon sells them I think ….

“‘Floating jig “
Wouldn’t that be a dry fly or a popper ?

Last year I remember there was a member here that was posting videos of him using a float with dry flies and poppers. One of those snap on red and white bobbers .
Get you some craft foam from the hobby store and some rubber leg material from a bungee cord and create you some floating spiders . Deadly on any kind of panfish , even those Purina fed ones .

I have a Texas hunter feeder at my boat dock loaded with pond cat floater feed and the area is loaded with big bream. I use a fixed weighted bobber with a foot of mono, no split shot and a #6 or #8 hook and use a single piece of white crappie nibble. If they don’t smack it right away I reel a bit and let it free fall.

Those crappie nibbles on a bare hook weightless falling slowly do work well
