Little Atom`s New Optic Stealth Jigs


Recommended Posts

The Optic Stealth jigs continue to produce for me. This morning I tried working over my usual shallow water bite, but to no avail. So, I headed out to the break and tried to find the transition... and wham!! The big gills were holding tight to that breakline. They were finicky, but I worked them over the size 10 Optic Stealth jig tipped with a single maggot...

They were relating to the bottom in about 17 feet of water. The Optic Stealth jig really allowed me to effectively target these fish. The reason for that is because they are small in profile, yet they drop quite and they have excellent feel in deeper water. Finessing those finicky gills in 17 feet of water was much easier with these heavier jigs. The sensitivity I had was very good.

I'm hooked (no pun wink.gif) on these Optic Stealth jigs. Great hooking percentage and outstanding action!

A few more shots from this morning...

Rick,

I'm working on sending some photos over to you Rick. Could you email me again, I can't find that last email you sent and no saved address. I can't seem to PM you either.

Thanks in advance Rick.

Matt,

Nice work, way to stay with them. This is the dog days of winter for many. We actually have some fishable ice, we'll see how it lasts with the rain and snow coming tomorrow.

50+ today.

I heard many teams say they were using L-A's plastic's and jigs at the Wisconsin Super Trap Attack. A tough bite is when the plastics excell for us, keying on aggresive biters.

Stealth jigs were getting tore up...or, was it the paper mouths?

We finished a little over 3 oz. out of the $, but 18 places seperated us from the top 20. A very tight weigh in.

Have you ever seen the bigger Crappies suspended under the bottom of the schools? The little buggers were much more aggressive and you had to (try to) drop it past them to get to the bigger Crappies. Not sure why but the smaller fish were pushed higher in the column. I would not over look this theory next time your getting small crappie from the top.

Drilling holes away from the crowds and pressure and chasing them with the flasher until we saw them on the screen was the key for many fishers. Kicking open unused holes was another decent option for staying with some fresh not so pressured fish.

Here's a pic from yesterday. One of two the I caught.Both were the same size. One was on the purple/black back and the other was on chart. green. Sorry for the hand on the tail. Not use to photo ops with the big dogs. grin.gif

These are the pannie jigs I've been looking for! I ordered some of these and I had them in hand two days later. Nice, quality paint(but not on the hole for your line, which is awesome), small profile, and a good weight to get them down the hole fast. Another great sponsor pick-up from FM! Thanks!

Went out fishing this a.m. with a friend for pannies.I was catching a few sunnies and my friend not much.I told him to take one of my Little Atom jigs and give it a try.He started catching fish as fast as that jig went down.Another believer in the Little Atom line of jigs. smile.gifsmile.gif

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
