Title: Jigging Raps for Gills
Post by: TipupMaster on Feb 07, 2009, 05:23 PM

Do you guys get alot of gills on small raps? I bought a Blue and Silver one and a Perch one. I gonna pick up another gold one or another color. I got the smallest ones like 1 1/4 inch.

I got into some giant bulls a couple days ago and had iced quite a few so it was time to play,I tied on the smallest they make and on 4  drops I hooked 4 but lost everyone at the hole,two where lost because the front hook caught the ice,one around the ducer,and one ust fell off and flopped back in the hole.

Have a super clear lake with good 'gills where the standard approach was MICRO baits and decided to look for it's nice Crappies and Perch one day. Tied on a small Rap and started taking the Bull 'gills consistently, been doing it ever since. Have found on other lakes that the bigger 'gills aren't the least bit shy of taking a Rap, especially when out and away from the flats. Sorta makes sense to us, a minnow is a simple easy nice meal for the big boys and they are out there looking for something easy that's not necessarily up shallow

That sounds like a pretty good idea!!  ;D I got a real small blue and sliver one that would work.
