Thread: Micro Jig Spinner

With the recent posts about 1/64 beetles, it got me to thinking .
A 1/32 Beetle spin used to be one of my go to gill lures .
Most of the time I replaced the beetle with a curlytail .

I decided to tie up some jigs to put on a size 0 Betts jig spinner to crest a micro jig spinner .
I used a size 10 Eagle Claw Lil Nasty sickle style jig hook , a 4mm tungsten bead wig a chenille body and silicone legs .
This one is Junebug colored .
I took a few down to the docks , mainly to test the casting when it’s windy and see how they ran during a slow retrieve.

The wind was 12-25mph and the little jig spinner was a dream to cast compared to trying to cast a .5g jig even with 3# Floroclear line . Distance was good too .

I had several bumps but only caught this one little gill . I hooked a small bass that threw the hook as I was lifting it . An UL fun size bass that put a nice bend in my 5’ Major Craft Aji do Ajing rod .
I’ll be trying out a few tomorrow during my weekly meetup fishing trip . The wind is supposed to be better , but still 5-10 mph with gusts to 18 .

Pretty fish and good looking jig

Sometimes it takes an experiment to find a super lure for one's own accomplishment.... good post and pic

Good looking spinner you put together. I use lots of different jigs on a spinner too. Sometimes they like the curly riding a bit higher but sometimes it doesn’t get a hit while a more basic and quiet jig gets the bite. Good stuff there Mister!

Love the purple iridescence.

When I checked some jig frames with smaller jigs the wire wouldn't go through the eyelet. I carry a couple different bags of frames and change up when I need to. Cheaper for me since I make my own.

The Bett’s size 0 is what I use. A size 10 jig hook just barely slips on the wire .The wire on Most jig spinner is too large .

Very nice.

That’s a beautifully colored fish.

Most of the store bought ones are around .029 which is still fairly large for a small jig. I make them in size .024 to .026 BUT I also know they can get tore up if a large fish hit's it!! LOL Not that that's a big deal!!
