RIGGING TUBES FOR PANNIES --

Do you rig them with the jig head inside the body or outside? I've seen it done both ways.

[Matt Johnson]

You can do it either way, both will work just fine. If you rig them up with the jog inside you will have a more durable presentation though and your plastic will be less likely to fall off.

Have you been out chasing pannies with artificials this year yet?

Not yet -- the lady in charge still stands by its too early. But after my success with plastics during open water, I doubt I will ever purchase live bait again. I am having more trouble then I thought I would finding collarless jigs for the powerminnows and gulp.

Thanks for having the 2" minnows available at the ice show. Like I said then, I couldnt find them anywhere else.
