Do you guys find that glow jigs outperform non-glow jigs for trout & perch?
Some days they work great, others not so well. It always helps to have a variety of lures in the box.
no they don't work. send them to me and i will dispose of them. thank you
A silver swedish pimple with a glow strip, and a white glow hook six inches below it for perch works well for me.
OK hold on here. Did you say a Glow Hook? I haven't even tried Glow jigs and now you throw Glow hooks at me. Now I am going to have to shell out more money for more stuff I have no idea how to use. You guy's are killing me here.
C'mon Lefty get with the times! Glow jigs were so three years ago, Glow hooks were two years ago. This year we have glow plastics. Perhaps in 2012 we'll have glow fishing line. Now where it gets really confusing is when the fish only want a glow green jig with red and green dots with a glow blue hook. tip that with a plain spike sandwiched between a green and red one. Pair that with a twitch, twitch, pause, bounce, bounce bounce jigging motion and you're set. The Forage minnow jigs I picked up this year look like dynamite! They glow nice and strong, however, the fish pattern is over the glow so it accents the pattern. Plus its gold! Anything gold gets my vote for trout!
The times are passing by me as I sit here confused. Someday in about 3 years from now I will see a post on Glow this or that and say hey, I remember those. Why didn't I buy some? Of course by then I will have forgotten more about Ice Fishing then I remember anyway.
Lefty,Hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. It's hard to put emotions into typing. The point I was trying to make was that everything seems to be "glow" these days. Don't get me wrong, I believe it can be effective. However I think it's getting a little carried awayI like glow for trout.
Big fan of the glow. Fishing crappies after dark glow is a must around me. Most of the time you reel it in, glow it, drop it, and the fish show up on the flasher. We will catch one and most every time someone will say, I just glowed it and he hit.
Yes, but keep the glow to a minimum. Only the eye or other small part of it. And make sure its a red glow, not a Green glow.
