whats your favorite ice jig?

[csimone]

whats up everyone. I'm a fisherman from CT. I was courious what ice jigs work best for you guys. the stuff we use here are, swedish pimple, panfish dippers, jiggin rapalas, hali jigs. and so forth. whats works best for you?

[Bobb-o]

My favorite is a genz bug with a custom spins ratso tail

[vern]

A Shrimpo or a Ratso. Fish can't resist the tail action on those plastic baits. Genz Worms & Fat Boys also. I like your combo idea Bobb-O. You can fish a little heavier & still have that great tail action.

For panfish I use to use a genz bug or a fatboy. The last two years Ive switched to Shrimpos and ratsos and they are by far the best duo in the panfish line-up for jigs. Alot of the time there is no need for a waxie or spike as the little tail is all that is needed and sometimes maybe a small colored spike.

[Bobb-o]

the best part of the Genz bug combo is that you can fish it horizontal, vertical, or at a 45 degree angle depending on what the fish want.

[hip_hop_fisherman]

Definitly Genz Bugs, Shrimpos and Ratsos, but don't forget the Demons! I don't think I can count the times the demons have been the ticket for me for pannies. For walleyes I like Go-Devils and the new Blue Fox Flash Rattles.

A person really can't overlook the need to carry very small jigs in both the horizontal and vertical varieties, but the jigging spoons built off the demon body (or many of the others which look very similar)have quickly become my favorite. They drop fast, fish fast and will catch fish right into those in a neutral mood. The benefit of that treble hook really becomes apparent with fewer missed hits.

Even the larger profiled baits like JBLures Jigging Eye are favored by me. 1/16 ounce Go Devils from Scenic are yet another example.

There are tons of options for favorite jigs and this thread should really get interesting.

Depends on the species. Are we talking panfish or walleyes? Hard to beat a Swedish Pimple. Even as of late, the really small pimples have been working for crappies. Demons are good. My ol standby for sunnies, is just a plain "rocker style" tear drop. Orange on the front with chartreuse with gold flecks on the back. Works everytime.

Mine is the demon- glo, tip with a waxie or ratso tail. The berkley maggots and powerbait has been great this year for me. Jb's lunar grubs has been good too, tip with berkely power bait waxie.

[Walterwontfalter]

I have always used swedish pimples or any type of teardrop jig and it's worked for me but recently I've began to use buckshot rattle spoons more since watching the fish react to them on the aqua view.

Don't forget a gamakatsu glow hook below a slip bobber.

[csimone]

Thanks for all the responses. seems like Genz bugs , and ratsos are the ticket for you guys. now about these Demon glo jigs. theres a guy here in CT that swears by these jigs. where can I find them?

[Bob Horn]

Little-Atom jigs and Plastics. There a small company but produce big results. But don`t forget to have those Angel Eyes jr. in your box.

[nytelyter]

if i told ya i would have to hurt ya ... heheheheh no really i got turned on to Marmooska jigs last year and will tip a #10, #12, #14, with a waxie and BANG!!!! thing is these buggers are so small i have trouble tieing them on.

[CrappieJohn]

csimone....

If you need to get some Demons simply click on the 'prostore" link in my signature or you can do a search.... Try customjigsandspins.com.

[portageman]

For panfish I love the moon glo. Black with the white belly is good. I have had far and away my best luck with purple. I have filled my tackle box with them.

[csimone]

Thanks for the info csimone.

[Captain B.R.K]

before I even read the thread here, I was looking back to all those times I had great success with crappie and perch and the #1 choice of lures for me is the demon size #8 or #10(glow).

I've fished it with maggies, minnows and even with plastics - wacky style.

[fishercat]

The red super glow moonies from JamminJigs.com are the bomb baby !!

[CALVINIST]

I have had really good luck this year on a red glow demon #8. Works for craps and gills...lately though, I have been messin' around with the Maynard's micro-jig with the 2 tiny blades at the top. Fished vertical is killer. Hard to beat the Glow Demon for all around effectiveness though.

[mitch]

I have to agree with the demon. I've only caught 2 fish so far this year and they have both been caught on a demon.

[Bob_D]

Chris,

I like the Hali spoons. Any size but the best colors for me are the glows.

[The Grebe]

Without a doubt...Demon!

[CrappieBuster13]

I'm gunna have to go with the demon, and the frostee, and when thier not biting on them the buckshot always seems to pull threw.
