Reply With QuoteI bought some of some "crappie" jigs and painted up about 5 of them and am having problems figuring out what to do with them myself. Please keep us updated as I would really like some ideas on where to go with them.

Micro Jiggers...
What to do, what to do, what to do....? Either hard or soft water, I'm open for any suggestions.
I have a bunch set aside to just paint and attach some wax worms to if I get some decent ice this year. Think I got about a month & a half worth last year. :rolleyes: I have some 1/80 & 1/100 trout heads to play with too.

Heck, paint them up and go fishin, they work all year round. Gills Love'um tipped with a spike or wax worm.
As for painting, i have used, vinyl,finger nail polish, acrylic craft paint, and even powder, i like to use a heat gun with the powder, but you have to watch the heat, and DONT bake them, i just give them all a coat of epoxy.

I have some 1/80 in just a ball head jigs with #8 & #6 regular bend hooks and I would use them just like other jigs. I also have 1/64 in regular bend and sickle hooks up to #4 and plan on using them long line trolling this next spring. Also when the big bluegills come in I want to get after them with these too.
Also is one other option I have some tungsten beads that are the size of 1/80 and weigh a good bit more than the 1/80 which I can't wait to try out.
The tungsten is already colored, but the lead I will powder paint and oven cure just like the bigger ones I hope anyway.
I would think lone line trolling such a light small jig head will make it really almost like float along. I think the picky fish will go after that easier.
Since we don't have ice here I can't help with that much, LOL!

I try 1/64oz. All the time generally I paint them with vinyl paint either use hackle or marabou or hair they work well on bluegill crappie strike them quite regularly I use bright paint such as chartreuse and fluorescent red but if I was going out for bluegill I would use watermelon or a light brown or black

we use lots of them around here for panfish and trout throught the ice and put a mealworm or waxworm on them and under a bobber in the summertime to. We use the bright colors around here. paint them up and hit the water you will catch some fish for sure.
love to fish and make soft plastics
