Favorite Bluegill jigs

[Jakesdad]

Really liking to tie jigs for bluegill/sunfish lately. Could you post some pics and what weight/hook size of your favorite bluegill killers? Thanks!

Chenille body
Marabou tail
1/64 or 1/32 head
#8 or #6 hook

Solid black is a killer.

These lures range from 1/48 to 1/16 once. Hook size is # 10 to # 6.

Those are some leggy little critters.

RLS40, those look like they might be illegal in Minnesota waters. You should send them immediately down here to Skeetbum and I before you get yourself into a predicament.

Great looking box!!!

My Bluegill favorite is a fly that has about 4 or 5 wraps of led wire around the shank under the chenille. Called a Bream Killer and can have a tail or not. Actual recipe legs are White, but I did some different for kicks. Still will send the email we have talked about. Think a #10 hook.

How do those cast?

How do those cast?

If you don't fly fish, tie it on a jig hook and cast with a spinning rod.

[Jakesdad]

Just curious if he used a fly rod or added some split shot,etc. Have cast dry flies before with a spinning rod using the clear floats.

Or as you said tie on a jig hook...

You could do that, too. I just prefer the jig hook if I want the bait to go deep. For shallow fishing, I like the fly rod.
