I like the glow in the dark ones. Also take off the hooks on the wings, you dont get caught up as much. give the jig 4 or 5 quick 1 inch jerks, then jig it a foot or two off bottom. then repeat.

I have jigged with an airplane many many times as I have been given that advice before - I've yet to ice anything. However, the guy that gave me a tip recently caught a 23 1/2" togue on one up north - I know that it does work just not for me yet.

Although I like the old style airplane better, the new style in whitefish color is AOK. A little slice of sucker often helps lure in the shy fatties. Have you also considered buying a few SPRO jigs? Bunker, Magic Bus, Dark Shad, & GLOW GLOW GLOW are all good colors.

Not sure if you are talking about the same air plane jig that I have, but once I caught a salmon on one I will never use the thing again. Way to many hooks mine has 3 sets of treble hooks and two regular it was a blood bath when I got the fish out of the hole.

My 2 cents

I bought a bunch at Marden's in Waterville a month ago. I've always liked using them. The pike hit them and I've done well on togue in Sebago with them too. White and white/red. I liked the old style better though. They covered more water.

white with red or orange in it. also glow in the darks.

I have an red/orange/ chartruse and a green/LIME/White and they both show the same inability to interest touge. Had best luck using copper/orange mooslook tipped w/ a small shiner or two

Were the biologists able to positively identify it??

I finally caught a touge on one last weakend.

Hamilcarbarca · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 09, 2008, 02:06 AM »

I've have decent luck using a green/chartruse combination, of course tipped with a minnow.
