[josh6012jak]

After spending some serious cash on ice lures and a short season.I am wondering what and if any would be good for open water.

Some guys even jig off their boats.

I often long line Tear drops tipped with wax worms after the Ice lets out for monster gills.

Many guys use jigging raps for walleyes, I've use different small spoons and jigs for jigging panfish and trout open water

I use them all year long tipped with wax worms when fishing for perch, gills or even trout!

I make nearly all my jigs minus forage minnows and some other northland tackle I can't imitate. My brother and I have an assortment of powder paint and blank spoons. Fill with soder and paint! Very very easy and is very cheap compared to spending 5 dollars a jig. U can get 50 spoon blanks for less than that and if u break off, oh well it's hard to redo. Should consider getting into it! Can test colors n patterns and even imitate those 'expensive" jigs. If only I had a tungston cast I'd be in business lol. Usually buy tungston blanks on eBay for 1 dollar a piece n paint myself. Save 4 dollars a pop
