Heading to Ky Lake next week to bluegill and red ear fish. I’d like to tie up a few jigs to try. If anybody could share some of there jigs I’d appreciate it. Pictures if you got them or color size that sort of thing. Thanks Mike

What size are they. Look good to me but I’ve never used jigs for redear or bluegill.

I think they are 1/4 and 1/8. I'll have to look up what I ordered. They are actually 1/8 and 1/16. Got them from a guy on Facebook.
Look up Rocky Mountain Custom Jigs on Facebook. That's where I got them

These are devastating on bluegill and red ear. Crappie, spots, and cats love them too. These are tied on 1/40 heads and 1/100 ball jig heads. The tails are left long so they can be trimmed on the water to control fall rate. The double tails can be clipped to just one tail also for faster fall. The chenille and braid body material protects the squirmy worm material from the thread cutting through it when wrapping and is also a fall rate control. Try blood red for redear.Quote:

What is the tail made out of
Sent from my iPhone using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app
It some sort of silicon i think. It is reasonably strong but crazy stretchy and wiggly. They look like a worm has just fallen from the sky and landed in the water. There are lots of small aquatic red worms in the water and around the banks. Just about everything eats them. This is a great little bait to mimic worms or small baitfish. The material can be found at fly shops or online. Look up squirmy wormy.Quote:

Here is a brand i really like. After using several brands, this one has the most elasticity of what i have tried.Quote:

Yes, I use LOTS of different colors. Mostly because I like color. I think it has little to do with the fish. What can i say? I love flipping open a box of colorful hand ties. It's part of the beauty of fishing. Attachment 342592Attachment 342594

I know our bass pro carries it. They are owned by the same company now so fingers crossed.Quote:

Thanks, Add a nibble or Gulp maggot, Bam!
Great thread here guys :ThumbsUp
I personally have had pan fish success using this product in many ways
Especially for the very young fishermen who are yet a little squeamish toward live bait

My experience is it out fishes like bait because you cover more water.Quote:

Thanks. This box is a gift for a friend who helps coach one of my sons in Sporting Clays. He's been wanting to do some fishing in a nearby tail race. I thought it would be a nice jester as all things in it are hand made. My box isn't nearly as organized. LOLQuote:

Nice box of jigs and a very nice gesture. Anyone that fishes would be happy to get those. I like the lighter jigs, 1/32 or less and darker colors. One of the plastics I use a lot is green pumpkin body and a pearl tail, 1 1/4” long. I catch everything on it.
I've been doing fair on this jig and one like this with a solid black tail. 1/32 #6Attachment 342696
