Glow Jigs

[Minnow Bucket]

I've noticed lately alot of talk regarding Glow Jigs. I think they work great and use them whenever on the ice. My question is: Is there any certain brand (company) which you guys prefer over others. Also, what would you guys consider the best colors for these jigs.

My favorites are the custom jigs&spin Demon, white with a green top, or the Northland doodle bug, I prefer the blue one but the yellow also works, I really like the design of this jig it seems that you rarely miss a fish. The most important thing is to keep it glowing and use your electronics to keep it on the nose of a fish.

I really like the demon and the frostee. they are basically the same thing but i think one of them glows a little brighter. I have caught everything on them and always seem to get the fish to bite those jigs even with all of the different moods that the fish have. I also really like the bad dog lures' jigging spoon, i don't know what it is called but it works great for trout and perch. just my two cents! ><>

For years I have found the green glow Demon to be the best jig for Crappies. Last year I started using a Neon Lites red glow jig and it seems to be better. I switch off between waxies, whole minnows, and minnow heads.

I use all different kinds of glows ... I dont think I could recall what half of them are named, even if they are.

Theres classic *moon* shaped glow jigs that work good (moon glow?). Another popular type of jig is made by several different tackle distributers... which are *tick* shaped jigs that are glow painted. These usually have a head of a different color... I prefer the pink or green heads .. but it probably makes no difference. You will know what I'm talking about when you see them (usually on baitstore counter). Try different sizes with different size hooks. Use the smallest hook possible for the bait your using, without going too small where your losing too many fish due to the hook ripping out.

It is an endless array of ice jigs out there... If you new to it, I would recommend keeping it simple, and modify your patterns at a later time when you see what produces best for you.

Has anyone had any success with the new glass jigs that are on the counters in most bait shops? I bought a small red jig, but haven't really used it. They are very expensive(at least for me) so I'm curious what the advantages(if any) they have. Thanks.

I haven't had a chance to use them as of yet.. I assure you I will try them, and also tie tails on a few of them to see how they hold up for spring crappie fishing.

The reports I have heard on them have been pretty good. They dont by any means sound like a magical lure .. but they seem to work for some.

I am still in the process of moving .. as soon as its said and done with, I will be sure to get out and let you know what I think 1st hand.

Phelps Tackle is making jigs called the Tick Jig and Snake Jig. Available in Glow Red, Green, and Blue. The Blue and Red have been the best sellers. They have the same soft paint that is on the Phelps Floaters.I know they are available at Cabin Fever in Victoria. Good Fishin'.
