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.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
