http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/a...psprhwaiof.jpgHere's a few of my ice jigs I made just getting into this so be easy on me.all powder painted and paint pen then cleared with polyurethane.
smacked a good amount of crappies on the ice past few days with them. What do you guys think and any pointers ?
Not an expert on ice anything but they look about as good as I've seen. Maybe one day I'll fish hard water and u can teach me. Thx for showing your craft
If the fish are smacking them that the best compliments you can get. Don't really matter what I think but I think they look great.
Thanks guys appreciate it. Literally just got into powder painting and soldering jigs about a week ago. Its very addictingonce It gets warm again i might dabble into tying some crappie/gill fly jigs like the stuff I seen here.
Felt good limiting out past few days when other people were on a slower bite then us ;-).
Those jigs are "spectakeular"! You really nailed it TT. Really like the rasta jig @ the bottom right.
They look awesome even though I know absolutely nothing about ice fishing. Still I can see they look darn nice!
Those look really good... Well done
Very nice work!! :ThumbsUp
They look great let us know how they do.:biggrin
Thanks guys I appreciate the positive feedback. They have been doing extremely well. We were the first out of the 10 or so guys at sun up to come in with a limit of gills for both of us and a few crappie a piece. Two days in a row!! But the bites slow according to the others there lol ;-). They work I guess
Very nice job. Those look great
nice looking jigs! once it gets warm again try fishing these under a float in open water tipped with plastic or bait of your choice,they will still catch fish! i have never been ice fishing before as in southern nj the ice never gets and stays safe.the temps always come up a bit once in a while and we have open water here.anyways i always have some ice jigs with me when im fishing,and when the fishing is slow i go back to them and they help produce.i always tip mine with tiny shards of cut up soft plastics.i take big torn up plastic baits i find laying around places,and cut them into small pieces with a razor and use them on ice jigs.Quote:

Thank you I appreciate the feedback. When I Bobber fish that's what me and the girl do slip bobber any ice jig & a waxy or spike and usually do real well on gills and crappie. I really like those red glitter ones you made ship. I've been playing around with the idea of selling them possibly already sold a few. The glitters new to me besides some nail polish, I've been debating ordering some glitter top coat powder mix hmmmm.
