GENZ WORM ALL THE WAY . tip ed with a wax worm of coarse

Part_Time_Fisher · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 17, 2008, 11:23 PM »

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.

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.

falbinki · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 20, 2008, 08:30 PM »

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.

anglerbrian · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 21, 2008, 12:52 PM »

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?

RANGER26 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 22, 2008, 02:07 AM »

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

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

fiddlehead322 · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 28, 2008, 05:21 AM »

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!

turbo 42 · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 09, 2008, 02:50 AM »

well i'm real interested in your secrects lol com'on just tell me a couple little ones haha

SeaDog1 · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 09, 2008, 04:00 PM »

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.

Swift · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 09, 2008, 09:54 PM »

Wolframs, Diamond Jigs and Marmish Maggots. Size and color subject to change without notice.

UpstateNYiceguy · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 12, 2008, 08:03 PM »

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!!!

Forage minnow spoon/Buckshot Rattle spoon in 1/16 oz or 1/8 are my two favorite lures to fish with
