Arnolds K & E Fairy Jigs

[jbird68]

Anyone make the K&E Fairy Jig,


Finding it difficult to find them anywhere except a few places on-line with limited color selection. I used to be able to just pick them off a line card ad Farm and Fleet. But they don't seem to have them anymore. Maynards tackle also has a Flutter spoon that is similar but checkingout with PayPal does not seem to be working. Plus their shipping costs is $9.00 for a very small/light item.


Just wondering is anyone is making their own.


these seem to work pretty well on panfish.

If you can't find them and willing to try something new, I suggest Northland's Forage Minnow in 1/32 oz. Started using them 2 years ago for Perch and Bluegill. I was pleasantly surprised.

Here's a good alternative. These are nice jigs.

It says Cabela's is carrying them, $2.49 each? The Moxy Jig has been my favorite since I started ice fishing 60 years ago! I have probably a doz left and a bunch of Fairy jigs. I have a friend that gave me all the material to make them. Jigs and flippers but they are more the Fairy jig size. I prefer the Moxys. I use to see them in bait shops in Michigan but think Arnold is on way out. Good luck finding them!

Thanks for the links. I got some ordered. I didn't set the moxie jigs on the chuck and deb link or I would have picked some of those up to try also.

Not to be a naysayer but I'm wondering about the quality of hooks on these jigs. Never heard of either one of these companies. Chuck and Deb's do say K and E's...which are good. But Joanie Jiggs...dunno. Would like to hear about them once you receive them jbird.

I've used these for years. Never broke a hook. But I have lost a blade in only 1 jig in the past. I like the flutter of the blades. An old friend showed me these years ago and I still use them. But I mainly use the tungsten ice jigs now.
