I made these miniature teardrop spoons today because my wife wants to go catch some Redears and Bluegill for supper. Gonna tip these with a wax worm and toss them into the lake. There will be some Stren line attached to it . LOL

Bet they will do the trick ship. NICE
Those look good Ship.
Never used one before, but they definitely look like bream catchers to me. Very nice looking teardrop spoons.
Nice, those look like ice fishing jigs. Are they a winter and spring jig or do they work all summer?
They are used in fresh water under a slip float and tight lined in hard water.

looking good ship! Riverslabber you do see them going down a hole more than not but work just as good any other time of year. i cut a pork bait into small strips....1/8-1/4''...and tip the jig. stays on the hook like super glue. if you notice it needs more juice just drop jig and all back in the jar and grab a fresh one out. makes for some fun action bud
Thank you my friend. I have also seen them use a fresh cut strip of bacon fat. Stays great on the hook. Here are some more I make. Fish them under a slip float, tip them with scent, plastic, or a wax worm and then go get yoour hot sauce ready and your skillet hot. They are going to Lake Crisco.

I add a little marabou, rubber hackle or dressing to the lures. This makes a great vertical lure even more effective. Also most of the time the dressed up lure can be fished bare bones. If fishing slows up I add a small piece of power bait for scent.
I hope that this is a little better photo than the first one I posted. I am also attaching a photo from last year of the results from using this miniature spoon.

confession: I like eating Bluegills better than any other fish, yes even Crappie (I hope I dont get kicked off c.com for this). Did he say Stren?
take that same shape and make a horizontal presentation jig out of it using a standard 90 degree jig jook in the middle of the lead....it'd have a great action and bluegills bite a horizontal jig with less hesitation
I have done that before and had great results with these too.

They look really good. Thats all that I use for ice fishing. Tipped with 4 or 5 maggots or a small peice of red worm and thegills will go crazy.
Ok now give us the procedure on making them. Did you use a mold or just solder each one seperately?
I posted this video and thread in July of 2012. I will post it again so that others can try this. Each one is soldered separately.

Those are nice....similar to a northland forage fry and several others. If you take the hook and turn it 90 degrees so it stands perpendicular to the weight, that baby will glide and jig like a jigging rap :)
