Thread: A Bluegill on every cast?

Good job! Glad to hear that you are back out after them again!

They are tiny and fragile, the fish tear them up pretty quick.

Best plastic lure I've tried in 60-years of bluegill fishing.

Better than crickets.... just kidding.

Micro Crawfish™ - Fishing Lure | Mister Twister(R)

You put them on a 1/64 trout magnet head under a float ?

Good job what color mini craws?

no float, just a 1/32 or 1/50 jig head with 2 or 4 pound line.

It won't cast very far, but with a fish every cast.... I don't care.

I've used the natural and the LA craw. Can't tell which one works better yet.

These fish were 8 to 10"... a good cloudy day to be on the water.


I forgot to say... it all comes down to the color of water you have and what colors the fish prefer.

Where I fish, the water is a nice light green color and that's the colors that work for me.

On my next order, I will buy all four colors. I like to make about 25 casts, then change color to see what happens.

Grizzly jigs is a little cheaper than the Factory :

Factory : 2 packs $15.32

Grizzly jigs: 2 packs $13.93

The Factory jacks up shipping cost every time you add a pack, Grizzly jigs doesn't.

Good to know... thanks

Are you casting and retrieving it straight back , or are you slowly hopping it on the bottom?

I kinda bump it on the bottom but very, very slow. I hold the fishing rod at about the 2 o'clock position, never lower and just move the jig ever so slightly. I would never catch a fish with a steady retrieve.

Slowly hopping a jig means 30' in three minutes to me. Many can't fish that slow.

Come on over and let's go catch some fish.
