YouTube - Bluegill Jig Test
You go Dawg !
I'm a little confused. Is it designed FOR bluegills, or is it designed to IMITATE bluegills?
Also, what's the weight and hook size?
Man AW that thing looks so big I thought it may bite me, LOL! Just kidding here.
How big are they? The look huge, but then I guess looking at what is holding them they must be smaller than they appear. Now for me I like just a small ball head especially for bluegill. Nothing wrong with yours I am sure and this is just personal taste. I have actually thought about adding some jig heads that are more of a fish head shape much like these, but larger, like 1/16 and up to 1/8.
However if small like I think then the colors should catch them. Let me add one thing for you to think about. I use a perch trap somethings to catch bait for cats, well I use to and would just use a trap and for bait a piece of Styrofoam with tin foil wrapped around it and that thing will fill up in no time. I say this, I think if I want to make some perch jigs that have any kind of flash it would have some silver in it. Just FYI for what it's worth.
Good Job!

I like it,colors look like a crappie killer.I like that flat style,should fish rivers well.What do they weigh?
they look really big?
I'll take some pics tonight showing real size and have a ruler by them for comparison.... that digital setting on my camera is amazing!!!
Multiple applications.... it can be used to imitate a bluegill. Or it can be tied up to catch bluegills. And these have done both very well.Quote:

Allright AW, I need some of those heads to try out. How may a fellow tier get some from you?

They look great but even with the photo against the ruler they look big. But hey Bluegill have hit bigger lures than that. Let us know how you do on them

We're still working on various prototypes and wanted to get a feel of what folks were thinking. Once we get these in the sizes that we want... for bluegills and for crappie (heck bass and catfish have been hitting these!), we'll get the word out.Quote:

Now when they are downsized a bit, bluegill will hit them too. The size of the jigs in this particular test run are sized in order to approximate the size of the bait during the crappie's pre-spawn and spawn periods.Quote:
