Is that limited to one perticular lake ?

Because results could be different in other bodies of water

i would have to say all bodys. because out of the 3 lakes that i fish i pound them on these 3 jigs all the time and have numbers of these jigs in case brake offs. my brother fishes all over the lake george area and me in the finger lakes and we use the same thing and both do really well. so yes

WHAT FINGER LAKE DO YOU LIVE ON! I grew up on cayuga we use bucktail jigs there.Generally white with various color hair mixed in.We used to buy them off an oldtimer who would come to the park.

for soft water I use a one ounce bucktail jig tipped with minnow, I don't see why it wouldn't work for ice sized down a bit. I bought some bleeding white tube jigs I am going to try, as well as green. I would think the pimple has to be up there. Some of the names I dont recognize, post some pics!

1 - Buzzbombs
2 - White Tubes
3 - Swedish Pimples

I've bought a couple of new spoons, the are called "Deadly Dicks" spoons and I think after this years field tests, they may make it into the top 3.

The Upfold Bucktail Jig with stinger hook. This jig has caught more lakers on Otsego Lake than any other jig in the past two seasons.

I tried one of those that the dude sold me in the parking lot. they look good, really good actually but they are not panacea for lakers there that I hoped they would be, head to head, the right spoons in the correct colors still out fish them.
