What size jigheads you have those on ?
1/64 with #8 hook on top I'm not sure what size hook on the bottom but I'd say 1/64 with a #10.The minnow came with this hook but I usually change it to 1/64 #8 hook.
I've never really fished for bluegills with jigs. How do most of you fish the jigs? Straight down beside the boat? Cast out and retrieve bumping it off the bottom? Just curious.
Any jig with a worm on the hook.:p
A black grizzly jig 1/64 oz. with slip bobber and 1/8 to 1/16 splitshot for slingshotting under docks!!!!!!!!!!!
Black Slaters jig with a 1/32 head...
pstone are you targeting the larger gill's?I have some slater jig's I use on crappie and they will catch everything.I used them once and caught a few catfish of all thing's.A friend of mine told me he catche's alot of big gill's on them.
I will usually slow retrieve with a small pumpkin seed bettle to find the beds and then have the crickets ready if you catch a couple of big gills. Cover more ground and catch a few crappie and shells along the way.
We used a jig or weighted fly called a Rockhopper. Fished under a cork and tipped with a Crappie Nibble. My buds and I whacked them yesterday using these. ;)
1/64th Marabou Jig and a Wooly Worm or Wooly Bigger on a #8 hook. I use this method with great success all the time for 'Gills. Swim it slowly, then pause. Swim it slower than you did before and pause it again. I'll use a waggler or a cigar float. Let the marabou undulate, pulsate and entice those Bluegills and other panfish.
This has worked very well for me for the past few years.

Yeah, The bigger ones seem to bite the slaters best. I don't do much bream fishing though. But when I do, I'll use that black jig or a cricket...
Here on Reelfoot Lake Grizzly Jig is King. I use a 9 foot fly rod to jig a 1/80 oz. Grizzly Jig tipped with a waxworm tight lined. If the wind is blowing and I'm having trouble with the 1/80 oz., I change to a 1/32 oz.
This is a deadly set up here, and a lot of people use it to fill there coolers.
