what is everyone fishing on their jigging rods?
« on: Nov 10, 2010, 10:32 PM »
So I put out my spread of tip ups and then start to jig.

There are so many ice flies, jigs etc that is it dizzying.

Last year I mostly jigged with a very small chrome swedish pimple.

I would sometimes tip it with a mousee.

what does everyone else use?

I would love to catch some trout this winter, but will take anything worth filleting.

Swedish Pimple works for me. I tip mine with meal worms. I have heard of guys cutting off shinner tails off dead shinners from there tip ups and putting then on a small Pimple for trout.

I jig with a small blue/white hali with a treble, tipped with waxies for trout - usually get my limit on those.

Any chance you could post a pic or link of a "perch eye" or do you literally mean, A PERCH EYE.  LOL.

a small (1/16) chartreuse jig head tipped w/half a meal worm was my #1 trout bait last ice season.

Northland mud bugs! For bluegill and Crappie, and the occasional pike and perch!
I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there. -Robert Altman

I like the swedish pimple tipped with a shiner tail or head.  :tipup:
