After reading multiple good things about these here, I picked up half a dozen and I too have been slaying the perch with them. My question is does anyone use them for anything other than perch??
-
i use them for sunnys, perch, and crappie.
-
Smelt ;D
-
sunnys perch bass crappie bullhead
-
and trout
-
I use them for Pech and Crappies, but the bass seem to love them as well
-
smelt...couple spikes or piece of fish meat on there
-
Whats smelt.
-
I have caught many species on Halis:
Perch, pike, gills, crappie, walleye, trout, and yes, bass.
-
I use them for everything [ bass,trout, perch, and all other pan fish]. I like to tip with a med shinner or chub at times and actively jig or dead stick. The chain seems to allow for nice action.
-
Whats smelt.
a small little fishy :tipup:
Smelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelt)
-
deep water fish, ie crappies, walleye and perch. Also get some extra chains.
-
Smelt is bait we take home and eat at the end of the day.BB
-
Whats smelt.
An oily baitfish that's great for big pike. :)

I like using them for those deep suspended crappie because they sink fast but they work for everything :tipup:
-
ciscoe's, burbot, pike, perch, whitefish, and splake all on hali's

I was going to pick a few Hali master spoons up one of these days and the tackle shop I visited had firetiger, green/tiger glow, yellow/tiger glow, gold/green, silver/yellow and blue/red glow.
What color from above would you recommend as the best multi species color. :-\
How strong are the Hali chains, and does the colored chains really make that much of a difference? ???

If we are talking Hali with the single hook dropper, I find the hook to be junk it breaks and bends under slighht pressure, and I replace it with a the treble dropper they sell seperately.
As for colours, I sue the closest colour to perch, as well as a white bodied one with blue and pink around the eye.
-
green gold, and yellow glow one, i replace the factory chain with the bead hook chain that they sell as replacements. expensive hooks that work awesome!!!!!!!!!
-
Cool, thanks for the info. guys. I will to get one and give it a whirl. ;D

The Hali....where do I begin,
I have caught a number of species on the Hali, from the tiny smelt to the mighty lake trout, and many others.
o.k maybe not the right jig for every application, but it is a great lure to seek out whats on the bite. Especially when you can play with the chain and hook selection for different presentations.
Wellsy
-
Hear ya junky about the treb.
Colors that have worked for me, red, orange, Blue and silver, gold, silver& black. Yellow and green.
I will run thru the whole supply to find the one color of the day.
Good luck!
-
What sizes would you recomend for Perch......
-
Depends on the day. Buy a variety. Usaully the larger ones throw more flash in the water and mark better on the flashers.
One should check for color more than size.
Have increase the amount I have several times over in the last 2-3 years. Now I have a small tackle box full of spoons, halis, pimples and other style lures like this.
-
Mostly perch here. I've caught a few bluegills on it, and one trout. The trout was accidental, while exploring for perch. Oh, and one small walleye. We don't have too many gill around home, but I bet it works alright for them too.
