Can someone post a picture of what a Dynamax bream jig looks like? thanks
I've been wondering the same thing. Google is no help on this.
Attachment 301560Not certain, but I think these are Dynamax jigs. I’ve had them for years and never tried them, may give them a go.
Reference for size

Grew up wearing bream out on that jig. I still have a few but they are in pretty rough shape. Haven't been able to find them in 15 years.Quote:

It was the White concrete Block building that Rick ran across the street from the current Bates Field and stream before he expanded. Its long gone tore down now. It was a KILLER little bait shop. There was this short chubby dude in the back tying these jigs in question. They were named after his daughter and son ...Dana and Max. He gave me some one day and told me that they would change my life about Bream fishing. Boy was he right !!! In the early spring before it gets real hot, they out fish crickets 3 to 1. So when the bugs hatch, these little babies destroy Bream beds. He made these awesome jigs for years and i bought them every year. The Black with silver tassels was the best. But...Eventually all good things come to an end and the Guy that made these died. I can't remember his name at the moment, so all respect to Him and family. His kids didn't want to continue the business and the rights were sold out to Patton baits outta Cabot I was told.
Pictured here are some of the Original design Patton does of DanaMax jigs. I have been buying and using these for a number of years and they work as good as the original jigs.
Now here is the bad news. After hitting up 4 different bait stores last week, where I know these are, I have been told that Patton hasn't filled orders so far this spring. Apparently they are having some kind of issue. I have heard some stuff said ...but I can't confirm anything...so we will leave it at that. As luck or God would have it...I have a good stock of these jigs. Things keep happening with my favorite tube jigs and now my Bream jigs that is driving me to start Pouring my own tubes and tying these Bream Jigs. Maybe a new Business adventure on the side is in my future.... I caught over a 100 bream on the same DanaMax Jig last Saturday in just 3 hours. I have caught MONSTER REDEAR on Conway through the years with this Jig too...and I"m not the only one.
BUT I GOT TO HAVE THESE JIGS !!! One way or another.
Those are not DanaMax jigs first pictured...
Are those 1/32 or 64th's maybe? Tiny things
1/32 small but they are deadly.

Do yall use any kind of scent when using jigs for bream?
I use Bobby Garland Crappie Jam if slow AM bite. Crappie nuggets too at last resort. Bream obviously do best in afternoons for me.Quote:

Great post.
FWIW, almost any small jig is great for bream. The little trout magnets and crappie magnets are killers, and they're not hard to find. Marabou jigs are awesome, too.
FWIW ... again ... the main Bream forum is filled with reports of guys catching bream on jigs. I don't doubt Dynamax are good, but I wouldn't bust a gut tracking them down.
I believe these are original danamax jigs from the 80's-90's. I used to get them at Bates and I think Toad Suck One Stop. They were not packaged. They had them in one of those divided clear plastic boxes and you'd pick out what you want. They were kind of expensive at 79 cents each when you could buy marabou jigs everywhere for 9 or 10 cents each.
Most had no tail or only a wisp of tail. The tinsel was tied as "chin whiskers".
Another good micro jig for bluegill and redear is a 1”” Black Charlie brewer slider on a 1/32 black horse head spinner jig head. Deadly! I also really like the bison and black colored trout magnets.

step 1. get some tiny black plastic grubs with no curl tail
step 2. get white live rubber spinnerbait skirt
step 3. get some 1/32 & 1/48 jig heads
step 4. Pull off 1 filament from the skirt
step 5. run the filament through the body twice to form an x to simulate legs
final step. Put on jig head and catch bream (Crappie nibble white stuck on hook helps)
I use a hook to thread them. Poke hook through and place filament under barb and back it out. Of course I like to buy mine premade but when I run out these work fine.
We can Tye any jig in any size you want !!!
