1/100 oz. jig patterns

[Lateral Line]

Hello all,
Very excited to have joined your wonderful website. I love all kinds of fishing, but have a special fondness for panfish, especialy catching them on light tackle with floats.
Here is a photo gallery of a panfish jig that I like to tie.
Cheers,

Nice jigs and thanks for the photo gallery. What rod and reel do you use to cast such small jigs. Pops

Hi Pop,
Thanks for the kind words. Because these 1/100 oz jigs are so small, it's almost impossible to cast them very far with conventtional gear. I use a "waggler" style float, which takes enough shot, that casting becomes very easy. The float is similiar to a pencil float, but has enough shot pinched on the line at it's base, to make the float almost nutrualy bouyant/balanced. About 1" of the float protrudes form the top of the water.








The rod I like to use is a Cabela's "Zander" rod. It's from their European line. It's a two pc. 9 foot spinning rod. Very soft action for light line and tiny baits.



Thanks,
LL

Finally! Another waggler fan! :D

About 1" of the float protrudes form the top of the water.

I like to dot mine down so that only about 1/16" is showing above water.

I also will fish "Waggler" style under certain conditions.

"Disco Hater", Glad to be part of the club. I was schooled by an English gentleman who probably has forgotten more about fishing than most of us will ever know. The "Brits" go at there angling more like a mechanical engineering competition. They truly come up with some amazing ways to over come fishing obstacles, i.e. wind, casting very light baits, matching the bottom current of a stream/river, and convincing heavily pressured fish, to take their offering.
I consider myself very lucky to have had that learning experience, and put to use all the information on our American species.

cheers, LL
