Hellgramites for Smallies

I got my custom 1/8 oz. football head jigs from Grousefly last night.I forgot that I even ordered them.But,I have been planning these in my head since the Smallie Jig Swap.They are 1/8 oz. Football jig with no collar and a 1/0 long shank hook.Black powder paint head with chartruse powder paint eyes.Figured they would be getting thrown against the rocks,so did'nt want any glued on eyes.It's tied with black Bucktail and black rubber legs with a small diameter blackish chenille.It looks very good when it's wet.

the smallies here tear them up hellgramites that is, only thing is i dont like it when they bite me lol

These don't bite !!lol.Can cause some damage if you are pulling really hard though.

lol. be a good spring time jig i bet...

Contrary to what you might believe,Hellgramites are in the water all year round.I've done a lot of reading.

well that thing looks like it's from our space but it definitely looks very fishy I'm sure that you'll knock them dead with that is a good-looking.

Good looking hellge bait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good. Bet they'd produce in the rivers of east TN. The man that told me of fishing hellgramites got a glassy, far off look in his eyes when he talked of it. Said it was his favorite way to fish for em, done it since he was a kid. Good luck with the new bug.

SMB just love to hammer Hellgrammites. My favorite time to fish is at dusk when the Hellgrammites become active and come out of the riffles. Wow the strikes are just savage on those jigs.

Those look real good :)
