broken_line Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 my fav lately has been a huge pink jig with big minnow + loud county music = great sucess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeDocktor Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 You may have to adjust and play with the volume to see what the fish really want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonASea Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Im becoming more and more fond of the knuckleball jig ,,,I wish some one around here carried the zoneR jig for fishing riversLAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 pink jig head white twister tail works good for a lot of stuff as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyeseeker Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My favorites are Pro Tackle short shanks. They have flat sides to give a little different fall with the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshmallow Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Northland "Whistler Jig".. Thumpers.. Slurpies.. Mimic Minnows.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadsea Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like Cabelas Walleye Wobble jigs, Whistler jigs are good ones too, tipped with a minnow in the spring. Later in the summer I like Northland Phelps floaters with a leechI would suggest getting one of those combo boxes that has different sizes and colors so you can find what works on your lakes. Also Lindy now has those new jigs where the different colored lead heads clip onto the hook. Interesting concept.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigginjim Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm trying the lindy jigs this season, so far the hook size is the only thing that is a little off. But it is very early in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that the hook seems too big if you are using a smaller jig head?Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose89 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Haven't used em,(New Lindy Ex-Change Jigs) but the hook looks huge, esp. if using the 1/8 oz head. Looks like an 1/8 oz of "hook" with an 1/8 oz head. Anyone using them with much success?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Breuer Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I've been using the Phelp's Half-Face Jigs for 6 years now, and I barely ever find myself using anything else! Great hooks, wonderful paint, and the stand-up style works for every situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewski Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like the lindy Fuzz-E-Grubs, especially in glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrofisher7 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Anything that glows or else i use a red and orange 3/8 or 1/4 with a minnow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlander Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was using a 3/8oz. Whistler jig chartuse/orange and added a small treble stinger to it. Put on a whole crawler and stuck the stinger about four inches from the jig and drifted with it and caught walleye's better than spinner/crawler's or plain single hooked leeches.Caught 2-26.5" eye's, and a 27 7/8" eye on this jig!

pushbutton Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 where i fish pink seems to be the ticket. type doesnt matter as much as color, usually use standard gumball, smallest possible for wind/ current. cant figure it out because they slam the darker colored swims and raps, and ironically the bigger the better. might have to try the lindy if the hook is a little bigger.

Flaco651 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It depends on where I'm fishing, but Fuzz-E-Grubs and the Hair jigs from Moore's Bait & Tackle are usually what I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseymcq Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Multi-colored jigs are probably my favorite. The color changes seems to provide a little bit of a "flash" that catches the fish's attention a little better at times. Orange/Chart, Black/White(Pearl) with a little red dot on the top, Black/Red.Super-glo chart. seems to always be a good producer too.

iceman16 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i just got home from leech and used the new lindy jigs. LOVED them. could change sizes very fast and get back to fishing without having to cut off and retie. it was very windy and changing hooks was a pain.iceman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
