JIG DISKS?

[Bruce Mosher]

Anyone using the new JIig Disks and catching Walleyes etc? I've been to my local lakes and Lake of the Woods having great luck using a red glow jig (1/4oz and 1/8 oz) with a small swimbait on the jig, minnow head on the hook for scent and the jig disk above it all to make them swim!

HOw do you get the fish to swim up the hole and hit the bobber?

I'm sure you can buy the Jig Disks on this site. If not your gong to have to go to Todays Tackle site.

The Jig Disks come in 3 different sizes. Set them up on horizontal hanging jigs and it will make them swim and dart. Any verticle hanging Jigs and Spoons they will shimy shake on the drop and lift. If you are going for Walleye by a 2 or 3" swimbait with a paddle tail and then use a minnow head on the hook for scent. IT really attracts fish!IT's kind of like using a Chubby Darter. IT always attracts fish into the hole and most of the time they will bite. If not they are their to move over to your second rod that is set up hopefully with an Ice Buster Bobber and a minnow! Gander Mountain has a good white plastic swimbait that is Salt impregnated a 3" model, Cabela's has their Aquaglow "Hoochie Koochie" white plastic paddle tail that glows, Berkley has a good 3" Powerbait "Ripple Shad" swmbait in perch color. All of these have a paddle tail that works better than a tister tail. Put these straight on the hook, snap on the Jig Disk, ttach to the line with a cross lock snap and start catching fish.

I've also caugt Blue Gill and Crappies with a Genz Bug and plastic tail using the smallest Jig Disk. I shimmy shakes on the drop.

Have some in my tackle that I picked up at the show this year. Looking to try them one of these times out on the lake. I am not sure where you can pick them up though. Maybe go to your local bait store and ask maybe they will be able to order some for you.

Hey Bruce, as long as you're communicating with us here, when are you coming out with bright colored Ice Busters for us guys of mature years whose eyes are no longer as good as they once were in low light conditions?? Maybe even glow colors. I volunteer to field test them for you at no charge. Well, maybe for a couple of beers. And a free bobber or two...

now that is a good idea

That looks like it's worth a try.

It also looks like a DIY project if I ever saw one.

I also picked some up at that the ice show this year and have been trying them out. Minus the fishing being slow over all I have caught some good fish with them. They really add a lot of action to the bait when jigging, darts all over. When I am putting tails, grubs, minnow heads etc on the hook, I check the darting motion before I drop it all the way down, sometimes having the bait out of alignment causes the motion to be non life like. The guy at the show said to fill up a 5 gallon pail of water and try them out before you get to the ice. At the show they were handing out an instruction sheet with them, not sure if these normally come with the disks.

They have them at Scheels in Fargo. Look like a good idea, but from what I saw on the video a swivel would be a must for vertical jigs. They spill like a top on the way up and down. Talking some serious line twist issues.

[Bruce Mosher]

I'm woking on a different colored Ice Buster Bobber already. But as far as the Jig Disks, It is areal good idea to hook up your plastics at home and test them out in a 5 gallon bucket of water beore you go out onto the lake. That way you know for sure that your little plastic tails or your bigger swimbaits work correctly. I've had More of a problem with Walleye wearing out my plastic swim bait paddle tails! I haven't had an issue of line twist yet and all I use is a cross lock snap for bigger jigs and spoons and a quick snap for panfish. You can find them at Thorne Bros in Blaine and a few other stores. If not buy them here or on my HSOforum. I didn't finish them in time for all of the Distributor Shows this Fall so they are not everywhere yet.

Rule #1 is ----------HAVE FUN!!!!!!
