Thread: Jacob's Ice Stinger

....."maybe you could teach us old dogs new tricks".....

I just turned 61. 'm try to learn from the pups. lol

Fantastic! You even shortened the body so they don't have to be trimmed to fit a 10 or 12 hook. Those will take fish ice or open water. The shads barely go what an inch and a half? The stingers more like an inch. Just about perfect.

yes and we will be 65 in April we will definitely learn something from those young pups.

Ok Snake....you one-upped me.

Dutch, the overall length is 1", the body portions tapes out at a mighty 1/4". On smalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll jigs a guy can cut the first half of the body off and end up with enough to stay secure yet. I took them down to the creek behind me and had a field day a for 1/2 hour this morning in open water on crappies and bluegills. I had a rare visit from a half-decent waldo and that ended my one bait fun for the morning. Chartreuse diamond jig [#12] and the blue stinger under a float.

Two upped me, LOL I just turned 63...

CT, we fish just like that on and off again all summer, not just in the winter. These new 10 and 12 tungsten and mooska ice jigs are really something whether under a float, or just jigged on a tight line; sometimes the crappies and the sunnies, too, won't touch anything bigger. You can add in some of the little shad darts and fatboys on those tiny plastics, all the ice jigs that "fish heavy" as we say. The occasional largemouth or walleye that joins the party is an added bonus. They also took a lot of perch for us this fall. You never know what size or species of fish will take these little plastics next. In a recent year my fishing partner and I counted about a dozen and a half species that took our crappie baits with specimens in about a third of them going over line test. On my ultralights the tiny hooks do not fail either, when I have the drags set right. For that matter on 4# test the knot goes first before the hooks do, which is what I balance my drag for anyway.

If this is the same plastic as earlier this year which I think it is IIRC, then it also stands up to a pile of abuse without tearing even on needle like hooks while staying soft and active. Primo baits, often good for well over a hundred panfish each. I counted! Out of 16 in the original sample well over a quarter of them did the Ton and a couple of them well over. These baits have a future. (They definitely have a present, already!)

him it definitely sounds like an outstanding bait anything that resembles a baitfish this good and apparently this is something that they think is say baitfish something that is easy to suck and most likely your area going to catch all kinds of different size fish and you know that most of the panfish love to feed on small baitfish we will eventually take these molds up hope to see you post more pictures.

Hmnn I turn 72 in 10 days so I need you YOUNG FISHERMEN to make me some of these neat Stingers so I can catch me a crappie or two. I'm just to darn old to learn plastic making, even gave up pouring lead cause the arthritis didn't like it but it ain't goin stop me from fishin...............
