jigging rapala eith with a minnow head or plain in fire tiger or perch
-
GENZ WORM ALL THE WAY . tip ed with a wax worm of coarse
-
I use a Moon jig, glow front with an orange dot on the front, and on the back usually florecent orange or yellow with gold sparkles tipped with a wax worm. I've also use a small jigging rapala for crappies. Usually in the same color as the minnows in the lake.

GENZ WORM ALL THE WAY . tip ed with a wax worm of coarse
I'm going to have to try those. I looked for some at Gander Mountain but couldn't find them.
-
Ratso with a shiner head.
-
I love ratsos for crappies and perch. And jigging shad raps for walleye trout.
-
by far the best combo i have found is a fiska wolfrom or balance jig tipped with a little atom plastic micro nuggie. sometimes it's a certian color combonation but if i go through enough colors i can almost always find one that they will go on without having to go to live bait. and if i'm not useing a micro nuggie then i have a full size nuggie tail on. all depends on how positive or neutral the fish are that day.
-
Hali Jigs tipped with either mealworm or waxworm. Usually jig it up and down a couple of times then dead stick it for about 15 seconds. most of my hits come when dead sticking. Trout and bass usually hit it when being jigged.
-
Hali jig with perch eye or minnow head. and if that isnt woking
jig a whopper hawger spoon with a 3 inch dropper and a cluster of maggots.
Course I am usually going after perch.
-
Buckshot rattle jig with waxies, Genz worm or bug tipped with waxies, Genz worm or bug tipped with waxies and a dropper with a #12 or #14 scud either above the jig or below it, hali tipped with a waxie, ratso, rat finkie, glo moon jigs all on #2 to #4 line.
Larger Buckshot with minnow head, rapala tipped with a minnow head on the rear hook, plain Nils jigging shad in perch pattern all fished on #6 to #8 test line
-
I don't know what the most popular is but my personal favorite are the the regualr rapalas and the shad raps, they are deadly when jigging for Lakers. Pimples are a close second preferably the one with the rainbow reflector tape. The hot orange works well also.
-
sizes too?
-
Genz worm or bug.
-
i have caught a lot of bass and perch on a hali tipped with a mouse. Fire tiger pattern most of the time.
good fishin JIB :tipup:
-
Try a simple 1/8 ounce unpainted jighead threaded through a whole preserved shiner minnow (2"-3") so that the hook sticks out the back. Make sure to attach it in such a way that it looks natural. You don't want it to spin when jigged. Try a few 2-3 foot jigs (check your sonar to see if fish are around) then a long pause. The bite will happen 10- 20 seconds after you stop if the fish are finicky. Use a wire tip to detect light bites. Good luck!
-
Genz worm
-
Genz bug with a 1-1/2 in red/white tube has been pretty reliable for me. Works on most ponds I fish for crappies. I try not to use bait for crappies. No luck?, start adding meat!
-
glow diamond jig and frostee jigging spoon
-
tiger eyes
-
frostee jigging spoon glow chartreuse, and custom jis and spins glow brite nuclear ant or diamond jig.
-
customs...pretty much everything they make, I love small tubes, as small as I can find, make alot of my own jigs, lot of blade, lot of flash...always love having a secret...
-
well i'm real interested in your secrects lol com'on just tell me a couple little ones haha
-
For pan fish, I find any ant jig with rubber or feather hackle and tipped with one spike is a killer combination.
In particular, I like the Northland super glow ants.
Just started using "Tiger Eyes" and am having good luck with them. Caught a 22 in, Seeforellen German Brown using the Green Tiger Eye tipped with a couple of spikes. These babies really glow, and for a long time, and wobble side to side when dropped.
-
I like to use sweedish pimples. I have a few different sizes and colors of them and i tip them with wax worms.
-
Wolframs, Diamond Jigs and Marmish Maggots. Size and color subject to change without notice.
-
I mix it up. I pretty much start with genz bugs tipped with spikes on one rod and have a small silver Rapala tipped with spikes on my 2nd rod. When the bite is off or goes cold, I'll switch the UL set up to a genz worm w/spikes or the 2nd rod to a silver pimple with tipped with spikes or a minnow. That's been my most effective set up this year.
-
I dont think anything can beat a Custom Jig and Spins Diamond Jig with a Little Atom Nuggie Tail.
-
A Hali with a couple of maggots!!! :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: ;D
-
Forage minnow spoon/Buckshot Rattle spoon in 1/16 oz or 1/8 are my two favorite lures to fish with :)
All patterns work, I have used them all!
-
I'm also one for a hali tipped with maggots.
-
any jig, but you gotta have and use the mousie grub, there the best!
-
Hali's tipped with a couple maggots.
-
Small green bro bug. The horizontal presentation always gets them tight lipped fish. Neutral/negative/agressive. They always bite! Well almost always ;)
-
hali perch color
-
I have to admit that I am a Genz worm guy. Try to use the smaller red glow ones tipped with waxies. Has been very very good to me. I am looking to pick up some Jammin Jigs this year, so I will give them a try.
-
I love using the Fat Boy jig for walleyes and crappies.
The genz bug is also another favorite.
-
Genz Worm or a Marmooska style jig tipped with a maggot. Deadly panfish baits!
-
Hali, tipped with a couple maggots!
-
5" white with red blood trail Yum Bait tube jig with 3/4 oz hook, tipped with small strip of sucker meat. Killer on big macks!
-
Gold or any glow 3mm fiska with 2 spikes has produces well for me. I'm also a fan of the gill pills in any color
-
I like the old reliable Swedish Pimple tipped with a spike or small meal worm.
-
In NH, the Swedish Pimple works for a variety of fish. Lakers, brookies, rainbows, and perch. Good all around jig.
-
WOW a year later and this post is still going now i can go back to all the post and get the best jig to use thanks everyone

This is a great topic.
Jig does not work by itself, especially in dead mid winter.
Once we post you favorite jigs let's post also the way you make entire presentation.
I mean. How often do you lift your rod up in seconds?
How high it goes in inches?
For example as a rule of thumb.
I use Chort jig from Marmish to attract perch to my hole first.
But after that I use gold balanced marmishka with frequent sharp motions. At a start my marmishka moves 1-2 inches up and and if northing bites a reduce to 1/2 to 1 inch. Sometimes I stop and drop marmishka to trigger the bite.
You can play with horizon.

I don't know,but the old pin min,tear drop jigs have taken a ton of fish for everybody,every ice fishing company still makes them,but we seem to use more flasher friendly lures now,still the old vertical tear drops with a T boned waxy show up nice on the screen and still pound fish.I'm into Ratso's,gill pills,gentz bugs,and ultra small spoons(frosty's and forage minnows).
-
Perch colored Hali with waxworm or 5mm. clown fiska with waxworm both are killers.
