JB Lures... (Picts Added)

Recently JB Lures became a sponsor of our wonderful FishingMinnesota family. I knew they made one of my personal favorite lures called the Gem-N-Eye, a great lure for a dead stick or bobber rod, as well as jigging; however, that was about all I knew about them. I e-mailed for a catalog and a few lures so that I might know their product line better. It turns out they are out of Winthrop, Minnesota. I love home-grown companies, especially ones that offer a lot of quality products. I took a few pictures of just a sample of the products they offer...

Below is the ever popular Gem-N-Eye (bottom 2 lures) and the Jig Eye. As I stated earlier I have always loved the Gem-N-Eye, but the new lure from last year, the Jig Eye really caught my eye--I will definitely be giving those a work out this winter. The added glow in the dark treble hook can only mean more hook ups under the ice.

JB lures also packages the ever-popular Angle-Eye spoon, pictured below with the Pro-Varmit.

The Varmit actually comes in three styles: the Pro-Varmit has a propeller attractor, the Regular Varmit, and then the Rattling Varmit. I predict the Rattling Varmit to be one of the top sellers this year, its already become one of my favorite. This lure has a glass rattle chamber spun-molded directly into the lure. This lure will produce a rattle unlike no other lure. All have a glow in the dark paintjob as well!

JB Lures manufactures plenty of lures to help you put pan fish on the ice as well. Pictured clockwise starting in the upper left hand corner: JB Ant, Lil Bugger, Lunar Grub, Rain-Glo, Horizontal Teardrop, Big Max, and Glitter Glows.

These are just a small sample of the incredible line of lures JB Lures offers. Check them out in stores near you and order a catalog for yourself. You will be glad you did.

[Scenic]

Looks great on this end!

[Northlander]

Got it now Dietz. I lost my last 2 Pro Varmits to Pike I think its time to re order a few.

[Borch]

Now I see I'm missing some great stuff!

Those rattlin varmits, pro varmits and jigging Gem n Eyes are lures that I'll need to add to my jigging spoon arsonal.

[ChuckN]

Wow, that Pro-Varmit looks killer! I'm going to have to find me one of those...

I've been using the Rattling Varmits for a long time. They are excellent lures on aggressive fish. My favorite is the one in the lower left of Deitz's picture....glow/black/purpleish/pink. The perch color is hot too, but never tried the glow green....yet.

Great pics Deitz.

Deitz, hows it going?

I've had the pro varmits for a year or two now and they work great on late season perch. The rattlers are one of my staple spoons along with the angel eyes. The Gem n eye's have caught me many crappies on URL as well. I'll have to try the Gem n Eye spoons, they must work as well.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Sup Dog!.. things are going well... I think the new Jig Eye may even out produce the Gem-n-eye... The glow treble hook will be the key and will give the lure a totally different action. I cant wait to give them a try!

I was able to nab some nice crappies early Thursday morning using a glo red jig eye tipped with a waxie. The fish that hit this bait really nailed it. I had on a 1/16 ounce unit. When the day brightened up, the bite went to smaller offerings, but it sure was nice to have that fast start.

This crappie really nailed the Jigging Eye. Often times I will start with the mosst aggressive baits and begin weeding thru everything when they fail to draw hits. Regadless, I carry at least two rods rigged with jigging spoons at all times and one of the spoons is the Jigging Eye.

Another use for theses larger spoons is to use them purely as attractors. I will often deadstick a waxie or two on a small jig and actively work the larger, more visible jig next to it. When fish come in to investigate the moving bait they will spot the deadstick bait and change their motivations to it.

The Jigging Eye is a straight forward, large profiled machine. They are geared to take larger fish and do that well. They are designed to attract fish and do that well also. These are not just a panfish lure, but are tools developed to get walleyes working, but have since found a niche in the world of the panfish.

Pink and White Angel Eye Jr. packed with maggots did the trick yesterday morning on a nice eater walleye for me our problem was we didn't get set up early... and caught the end of the bite. Were fishing in 22' and I was jigging the AE Jr. 6' off the bottom when at about 3 ft. off I saw a mark on the LX-5, hello Mr. Walleye! He ran up quick stopped and I kept flipping the spoon while slow taking up the line and when he got to 9' slammed the Angel Eye.

I really like the look of those ants. I may have to make room for a few of those in my tackle box. But what about the Weasel? Those are my go to lure when jiggn' fer dem eyes.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Joe- So true, I did leave out the Weasel. However, I left out a ton of lures they make. I too have a few weasels in my tackle box, they are a great lure!

Get you some of them ants!

If you would like you can get them from our FM store

Just placed an order Deitz. Looking forward to trying them out.

[metrojoe]

I got my "ants" the other day and they look great. Hope to get to use them this week sometime.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Very cool dude! Let me know how they work for you... Just stay off my secret spots with those LOL

j/k you know!

On a side note, I am just getting addicted to those rattling varmits. Expecially in a little stained water. I relly feel that glass rattle gives the fish something they have never heard in the winter.

[Northlander]

I just ordered some Spankers and Pro Varmits and had them in my mail box the next day! Great service! I cant wait to catch some fish on them up at Winni this weekend! Ill be doing more bussiness with JB lures thats for sure.

[CrappieJohn]

Those 1/16 Jigging Eyes are still a good low light bait down here for me. They got the crappies again this morning before everything went dinky with clearing skies.

[Scenic]

These are a sweet semi aggressive search lure for sure.
