Tiny tungsten jigs

Last couple trips fishing through ice holes have not been good barely avoiding skunks each day. Just wouldn't hit my hand tied tiny hand ties even though I could see them in the clear water. Yesterday I found some tiny tungsten jigs and tied one on and tipped it with a waxworm. Bigger one weighed 1.0 gram and next size weighed .6 gram. Used the bigger one that is probably on a #12 hook. Caught first redear of the year along with about 25 gills and a few trout. They really liked this tiny bait.Attachment 514190Attachment 514191Attachment 514192Attachment 514193

Nice. They were being picky. At least you didn't get skunked.

Looks like the clam maggot drop, I use Maynards flutter bugs a lot, size 10 hook 1/28 oz tipped with a waxy or crappie or fat head minnow. I order them right from Maynard’s tackle company, they have a lot of small panfish types of baits.

Nice !
Pretty colors on them .
Love them crackers and tiny jigs too .

I used the acme gold tungsten jig size 3 and tipped with small plastics. That worked pretty good for me.

Look like scuds, have seen something similar before. I like em.
