Diamond Jigs

Has anyone used the Custom Jigs and Spins Diamond Jigs? I ordered a bunch of them today and they look great, at least in pictures. I'm a die-hard Fat Boy user, but I like the idea of the hook angle on these and the wider body for better flasher singal. The paint schemes look good too. I hope they're as nice as they look. They're also cheaper than the similar Swedish style baits.

The Optic Stealth from Little Atom really is a sweet lure. Like Bob said, if you like the Diamond Jig, you'll love the Optic Stealth. I've still got to get my order in for some more Little Atom products but these guys have been in business for a long time, and have invented many of the lures that are currently being copied by other companies. They are not very well known yet in MN but are extensively used by the top ice anglers in the Midwest.

One thing I dislike about the Diamond jigs is those stupid beads and that little plastic tubing on them. Lots of folks are snapping the beads off with a needlenose and then cutting the tubing off, including me.

Anybody know why they are on there? It must have cost more to make them like that during manufacturing. Right?

My guess is the bead makes a rattle sound and the tube can hold a waxie maybe? I don't know. confused.gif

I have fished with the stealth, the diamond and the marmooska. They all fish fast. By that I mean if you're fishing twenty plus feet, they get back down the hole and sink fast. The small size and heavy weight makes them great for the gills I fish on Lake Zumbro.

I like the red beed on them. I think it adds some movement when quivering the jig? At least thats what I tell myself. The tube does come off though. I think the diamond cut may just give off some more flash too? Who knows. I do know 90% of the battle is psychological. If you have faith in something you will use it more, thus catching more fish on it.

I just tried the diamonds last night and caugthbig gills and big crappies on them in the same hole. My point is that they seem to be versitile enough, good profile, sink fast. I only used the glow red and it worked fine. They hold a charge ok. I would echo the use of the bead and plastic tubing. the bead has to be to attract...i guess.

Try em.

    • 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
