Difference between angel eye Jr and Go Devil?

[broncosguy711]

What is the difference between these 2? as I was thinking about getting the Jr's, but have a few in Tackle box already and leaning towards the Go's. And what are these demon glows people are talking about?

thanks-

The AE Jr's are going to have a bigger profile but are lighter. That gives the lure more of a flutter when dropped.

I use both the AE and 1/8th Go Devils both on crappies and eyes and let the fishs mood dictate which I'll be using on that day. I haven't used the 1/16th oz Go Devils yet but plan to. The smaller profile and lighter weight will again give me more versatility and another tools to choose from.

AngelEyes are stamped out of brass or some similar metal and are a little bigger in profile. Because they are lighter in weight and have a curved profile they will flutter and slide sideways on the drop.

Go Devils are lead based I believe and are a little smaller in profile. They are easier to keep contact with because they are heavier and smaller in profile so they tend to sink straight down on the drop. They work good for pounding the bottom and slowly raising them up to draw fish up to them.

Go Devils are my favorite jigging spoon.

Where can I find them? I see "go" jig son the same page as Angel eye jr's. are they the same?

Thnaks tension,

I do see that is where I can get them. I am wondering the following:

are the go devils the same as the glow devils people are talking about?

That is correct bronco. Same product, which is now a different name. Apparently, glow devil was a pre-existing product and required Jeff Beckwith, the owner of Scenic Tackle, to re-name his product due to legal issues. Either of these two products will increase your catch; they have for me.

Custom Jigs and Spins makes the Glow Demons. You can find them at the same link. Go Devils (which used to be Glow Devils) and Glow Demons are different lures and fished differently. You can fish the Demons like the AE, under a bobber, deadstick or jig them.

[broncosguy711]

OK makes more sense now. Already bought the Jr's. but to purchase the Glow or Go is now the $100.00 quetion to answer. as the go is worked differently.

Tension:

you said under a bobber or dead sticking? I thought they were the same and how would a eye work under a bobber?

thanks-

For Go Devils my favorite is the 1/16 oz for crappies, 1/8 oz for walleyes and the 1/4oz works good for eyes too. But the 1/8 is my preferred size for walleye.

For Go Devils I just jig. No bobber, no rod holder, just hold the rod in your hand and jig. Lift and fall, flutter quickly it in the fish's face and hold it still. If nothing takes after holding the lure still, start to raise that lure away from the fish, and if it takes the bait....hang on. That's a hoot.

Angel Eyes are flutter spoons. You raise fast and let them fall fast and hold. The lure will have a swimming action away and flutter back under the hole. Watching the action on an underwater camera is interesting and helps you learn how each lure reacts.

Pinch a minnow head on the hook on both. Full minnows work too, but experiment.

These are not deadsticking lures. A plain hook and minnow is an example of a deadstick in my book. I always use a deadstick in one hole, Go Devil or Angel in another hole.

I do pretty much as Chuck with all those lures and yes the lift and flutter down of the AE is very effective. I've also found when the eyes and crappies don't want any movement, you can take a Angle Eye and dorsal hook a whole crappie minnow or a fathead chub and deadstick it or use a bobber. Give it a try when the flashers lit up but nothings committing, you'll be surprised how many fish it takes.

And now to really throw a wrench in this dicussion.....Custom Jigs and Spins makes a Jigging Demon in popular glow colors too. The size 6 is a little less than 1/16.

The Jigging Eye from JBLures is another "flutter" type lure that is somewhat aggressive in the drop like the Jrs. They are a round, eye-shaped lure with a treble hook and are heavier than the Jrs.

All of these are good baits and all have their place with either the crappies or the waldos and perch.

[broncosguy711]

Any other opinions on these 2? I am getting ready to order a pack of each. Why is it the items you do not have enough of in your tackel box are the hot items?

In my experiences, Go Devils catch fish, anything from walleyes to crappies to channel catfish. Angel Eyes on the other hand, well, they look pretty and have lots of flash. I don't ever recall catching anything using the AngelEyes. But the Go Devils are fantastic. Another jigging spoon that works and looks very similar to the Go Devil is the JB Varmit.
