What's your favorite?

[Stratosman]

Everyone has their favorite panfish jigs, just curious as to what they are. My list is rather short, but I can say, over the years have narrowed it down to a select few that consistantly produce throughout the ice fishing season. Rather than switch jig types constantly, other than finding if the fish prefer horizontal or vertical presentations, I just change colors within the select group and most times that is all I need to do. Here are my confidence jigs that I feel I can catch fish under any conditions.

1. Flirty Girty (new favorite after last year)

2. Demon

3. Genz worm

4. Ratso, shrimpo

What are some of yours? I always have room in my box for more jigs!

Genz worm tipped with red and 1-white spike. About all I ever use, some might think not trying enough but it always works pretty good.

I think that most anglers spend way too much time worrying about jigs, colors, etc. Most of us carry way too much tackle - myself included!! The action you put on a jig is more important usually than the color. That's why I believe it's important to understand your jig styles and how they are designed to be fished. Then, make sure you have jigs that represent every style of jig. Teardrops, horizontals, flyer types, etc. Get good with a few styles, get a representative array of colors, and you will be better off in the long run. My list of favorites is:

Fatboy - 10's and 12's

Custom Jigs and Spins Demons

Genz Bugs

Northland Forage Minnow Spoons

There are others, but these are my go-to jigs.

How about a little help for a brother out here on the east coast???? Anyone have photos of the jigs of which you speak? Our distributors suck out here. I'd like to start carying some for our customers but I need to know what I'm asking for

Blaine,

Most of the jigs that have been mentioned so far you can find by searching on the internet, type in the keywords and there you go!

If I could only bring three jigs with me panfishing they would be these.

1. The Custom Jigs and Spins Shrimpo in glow brite/pink.

2. Glow Red Phelps Tick Jig in size 4 on a deadstick or under an Ice Buster.

3. Custom Jigs and Spins Mega Demon in blue glow, size 6.

I think you hit it right on the nail. It's mostly how you work the jig. I do believe size and or color can make a difference, but the presentation is the number one key.

My favories.

teardrops/moons

demons

grubs

miniature spoons

airplanes

leadheads

In no paricular order. It just depends on the conditions. The reactions of the fish will dictate most of it. At night glow blue seems to work and day I like white, I'll change afterr I see a need to.

Hey Matt,

Do you tip those shrimpo's with anything or just present them as is?

My favorite panfish jigs are;

Crappies- Custom Jigs Demons (our best seller)

Bluegills- Genz Bugs (always produces nice gills)

Both are great when tipped with colored maggots.
