Found a pretty good pattern. Got to fish for a couple of hours this morning...
All fish (CPR'd) were caught using JDM rods, 2 lb. test line, 1/32nd & 1/48th custom chub jigs tipped with crickets. Water temp is only 70F.

Unreal size, thanks for the post and pics.
Those are some beautiful fish. If I caught just one of those I could scratch one thing off my bucket list.
What's the average weight of those pigs?? Studs for sure.
Nice!!
Thnx for the comments
LAH - lake Perris is a public lake, couple more out here that have really good panfishing. Fishing for Bluegill, Crappie & Redear aren't high on the list in SoCal.
rh - they probably go from a lb to the last one which would be close to 2 lb
Nice Sonny. That first gill has an attitude. How do you like that rod? I have been using the Gliss line and so far really like it. 8# is .004. I use a 7/6 Gloomis with a 1000 Sustain reel throwing 1/32.
if - fishing the JDM rods is too much fun. It is mind boggling that these rods aren't introduced to the American market. I do miss my Gloomis and St.Croix rods...
What is the lure you're using?
nl - using a chub head jig 1/32nd (no blade) and a 1/48th chub head jig (with willow blade & swivel) poured on a #6 Lil Nasty Eagle Claw BN hook. All the bellyspinner style jigs have 3mm glow in the dark eyes - the other style uses a blue 3mm eye. I use custom powder paint both styles.
Nice fish. I haven't caught any bluegill here in a while. If it is not storms, wind, and rain, it is the spillways being open not letting me into some of my spots. So what do I do when I can't fish? I order me some more JDM gear....LOL. I figure I will have about 20 more years on this earth and during that time I will never see JDM rods in the shops in the USA. I have done a lot of research into to why that is and the conclusion is the Japanese rod builders know that folks in the USA will not pay that much for UL rods. Which is odd in the fact that they are sold in countries with far less per capita income than us. Also UL angling in the USA is just not as popular as it is in just about every other country in the world. Even in 2nd and some 3rd world countries JDM UL rods are the rod of choice. But I guess I will keep buying them....and the reels.....until I kick the bucket.Quote:

It is a sad state. You don't hear/read a lot about the gear or styles that are used overseas. Don't think American manufacturers want the competiton.
Good job! Those are some super pigs!!
