I know that the ones that longline use a Road Runner type jig head most of the time but what kinda grub or jig body do you use?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Look at the second picture, Joel uses a Gant jig.
This is what we use mostly
Southern Pro Tackle :: Product Showcase - Hot Grubs

Welcome to the The Crappie Shop
i'm also interested in longlineing. any info would be appreciated What speeds, line diameter, reels and rod type, how far behind the boat do you pull these jigs?
John, no expert here but I use minnow head or round head jigs that I have tied or will put a curly tail jig or I am using this year the Lake Fork baby shad (2 1/4 inch) here is a picture of some heads I just finished up painting eyes on and sealing them, also this is the curly tail jigs that I use. This company I help to get started as a vendor at Walmart when I was in mgmt there and he wound up starting in Florence Alabama and then got in the entire company nationwide. It was a mom & pop setup and now the son has took it over. Jimmy Edwards is his name and he is christian man and a great fisherman. Here is a link to his site

LARRY, WHERE DO YOU GET THOSE SICKLES WITH THE BARB? DO YOU POUR THEM OR BUY THEM UNPAINTED?WHAT SIZE HOOK AND WEIGHT JIG? I don't know squat bout long linning and need advise also!!
OLD GEEZER FISHERMEN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!
I get the hooks from a guy off ebay, I pour them up myself and paint them. Think the hooks are 1/0 and these in the picture are 1/4oz heads.Quote:

I will use 2 jigs, lots of time 2 1/4oz or 1 1/4oz and 1 1/8oz. I do know that some that fish at Pickwick only use 1/4oz all the time.Quote:

I pull ball head type jigs with #2 hooks in either 1/16th or 1/32nd weights. I hardly ever fish any water more than 20' deep and I longline 12 months a year. Here's 1 box of the jig bodies I use (Southern Pro Hot Grubs and look alikes)...
I have had some decent luck using these 1/4 and 1/8 oz with # 1/0 or 2/0 sickle hooks.
Mr Jim, what is the name of those jigs? I've never seen them before.
Creekslick on the AR. board makes a mid-spin jig in 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4. You can find them online under the name of Slick Jigs. He just poured me 10 dozen of them. He long lines all year. I got a dozen each of his favorite 10 colors.

Reese I have been killing them longlining 1/8 hand tied round head jigs with a spinner tied behind the head. Scott showed me my first one. I will post a picture of a couple that I use in a little while.Quote:

Great info here
I like the belly spinner jigs like creek showed in a 1/16 oz. And like DGOO said, the StrollR's by Bobby Garland are great bodies for longlining. They put off a vibration in the water due to the paddle on the end of the curly tail. If you'll use the same size jigs on all of your poles, you'll be able to judge depth better. Listen to everything gabowman says on longlining. He knows his stuff. Anything you can read by Bo Hudson, Brad Chappell, or BassCat21 is very helpful. Here's the link to a great article that BassCat21, Bernard Williams, wrote for MCC.

Hey Creek those are slick with the spinner tied behind the head. Does that give the jig lift and do they foul much?What size split and what kinda swivel?
OLD GEEZER FISHERMEN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!
Mr. Jim, those double spins look really cool too!And that blade clackin makes sense, specially in dirty water!! All you guys are innovators! I never even thought about such a thing!!Thanks for the great info!!
OLD GEEZER FISHERMEN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!
Have any of yall used any of those colored blades much like a spinner bait?when i say colored, i mean yellow,green,white, or even 2 tone on same blade?not just copper or nickle!
Old geezer fishermen never die, they just smell that way!!
Keep it coming guys, great info , thanks
I came up with those out of desperation,had this honey hole that was great, but if the river got in there the fish got lockjaw i tried everything could not get to bite,came up with the double blades hittin and that solved the mystery,started catchin em in muddy water.
Yes sir, I think you have excellent jig.Quote:

No mold,tried that but due to swivels you cant open the mold with out breakig the swivels.I drill a couple of small holes and solder the swivels in place.Quote:

Thanks, I can handle that. Berkley's?
Yea they do come off after 20-30 minutes or so in the water. If you are not getting bite roll up and put some more on.
