Help with what -they will all work but you will need different colors and a few glow. Purple , orange/black/ green are some of my favorite finkee's. also different sizes but nothing bigger than a #10-12 and as small as you can find #16.

i select jigs according to size and fall rate, a nuclear ant falls much slower than a diamond jig does, and a diamond jig falls slower than most tungsten jigs. also, sometimes they'll prefer a size 10 rat finkee to a size 14. it all depends on the mood of the fish.

Go to jigs for gills and calico for me in order

Lindy frostee jig fire tiger or chart/pink size 8

Northland forage fry in superglo perch or glo chub size 8

Lindy micro slick jig in chartreuse glow or clown in 1/32oz

All tipped with wax worms.

If I want to mix perch in there I'll try

Northlands forage minnow in perch or rainbow 1/16 oz with treble
Swedish pimple in silver with green reflective tape in the smallest size but with a single hook.

Again all tipped with wax worms and the occasional odd plastic teaser.
Can't tell you what exactly I just pick out something thin and springy that's on sale and toss in my bucket for when I am bored in the ice

If its in this box it is because it was a TOP producer in 2013 on bluegill and crappie. I have all my other "junk" in other boxes.



#10 black ratso body
#10 chartreuse ratso body
#10 smoke ratso body
1" trigger x minnow in orange/yellow
1" impulse mayfly in natural, yellow/orange, and pink/white.

1/32 jig heads with #10 hooks
1/64 jig heads with #8 hooks (for shallow water backwaters)
#8 gill pill and diamond jigs for plastics (a secret, don't tell anyone)
4mm blue tungsten jig head on a #10 hook for deep plastics.

Oh, then of course there is my box full of the same colors of shrimpos.. And my box full of demon jigging spoons.  ;)

So I'd suggest any of those.
