Favorite all time crappie/sunfish jig?


cRaPpiEMaN8265

Recommended Posts

i need a restock of tackle... i normally just use a go devil under a bobber on one rig then some other jig which i experiment with on my other... What types of jigs do you all like using for nighttime crappies? Also I do a lot of sight fishing for sunfish so what would your favorite jig be for that procedure? Any favorite sight fishing rods out there (the short ones)?

Thanks for your suggestions,

Sorry to load you up on questions..

There are more but I have to say don't be afraid to go plastics only with some of these jigs. But beef it up if that's what the slabs and bulls are looking for.

What color Flutter Jig do you catch the most fish on?

Most of them work well..whiter glow.

I've been tipping it with 1 or 2 Eurolarvae and it has been killing the panfish since mid-December.

If you want to talk about a confidence lure, this bugger gets tied on first every panfish trip I make.

"Last question are you jigging with the flutter jig or using a bobber?"

I'll give my answer...then Hanson can add or tell what he does different....I don't know Hanson but have learned much from him reading his posts..

Orange is my favorite..then white or yellow (chartreuse?)..black can be good. Being lazy I often just change color of plastic.

been playing with plastic, often plastic and a maggot..seems to give bigger sunnies a crack at it before little ones can grab it.

The lake I usually fish..biggest sunny I've caught was a half dozen 9 inchers. When I want a meal..I keep the 7 to 8 1/2 inchers btw.

I have a hard time finding them..bass and pike seem to like them too so I lose a few.

I use a spring bobber only with it...often just tap my rod with a finger and watch my flasher. If you just dangle a bug in water and tap rod..you'll see the little blades flutter and flash. Maybe some active jigging to pull them in..

I also use a 1/16 and sometimes 1/8 oz. Go-Devil..usually perch color..for crappie, perch and walleye.

I have an assortment of jigs..90% of time it's a Flutter Bug..rest a Go-Devil. Rest are along for the ride.

likely I'm stuck in a rut or lazy. And I'm far from an expert...suspect it's mostly a pure confidence thing..maybe..

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
