Looking for some lures similar to Bobby Garland itty bitty swimer in colors like black gum, vegas and a solid pink ( hubba bubba ) color similar to hot lips. B.G. has them in the baby shad but not the itty bitty that I can find. Fish are on small lures and our water has gotten stained and these are my go to stain colors. Scott
Scott, I tie many of my small jigs under 1/32 and the color choices are endless and they’re more durable. Look into more detail on the jig tying and lure making forum. I use a lot of BG Itty Bitty stuff too but my hand ties catch just as many and the body doesn’t shift or tear up. Good luck
My eye sight or patience is not good enough to tie. I'd have to sweet talk Jawjatek or someone else to do it. Wish I had that abilty. FYI I've had to drop to a .5 gram gerbikin and cast out eat a sandwich and take a drink waiting on the jig to fall to them but it's been deadly in the colder water. Scott
Limits tackle makes some really tiny shad body baits , maybe contact Steve he will pour whatever you want .
Learning of these sources is really good info to have. ThanksQuote:

how/ where do you usually fish the itty bitty? right now the fish are too deep for it to do much for me with the small jigsQuote:

Don't limit yourself. My buddies & I fished 1/32oz jigs w/1.5" plastics at 30ft deep to catch Crappie in the Fall at Watts Bar Lake in Tenn. This was off a upside down tree out in the middle of the lake (which had snagged on something). They would NOT hit anything larger than the 1.5" Panfish Assassin Tiny Shad, nor would they hit anything on a 1/16oz head (we tried a little of everything, and there were three of us in the boat). The only saving grace was that the bottom 8-10" of the trunk was above the surface & we could tie off to it. Luckily for us, we had already transitioned to weedless jigheads at that time, so we didn't lose many jigs .... plus we could let the jig fall down thru all the branches & brush without worrying about the jig getting snagged on the way down.Quote:

If your still in the hunt for some plastic baits message me thanks have a great day
I was out fihsing yesterday in around 25 feet of water and I could only get them to hit on 1.5 tube jigs, and 2 inch crappie magnets, but even then I was not getting nearly as many bites as I would have thought consitering the amount of fish below me. Now im not sure how much of that is due to winter vs the presentation, but I got more bites on the 1/32 ounce (still caught on 1/16) but it was a pain to get down there consitering how long it took. I'm trying to figure out if it is worth buying more itty bitty swimrs for the days that they are finikiy like they were yesterday. do you have luck on them?
