    That's a really nice weight for spring IMHO!

    I've caught lots of crappie on these as well as several bass in the 3# range and several fair size catfish that I didn't expect.

    I’d love to tye some like this but still not understanding what pin you use etc... I think it’s extremely important for the bait to hang horizontal especially under a float... I’d love to see what kind of pin you are using

    I use the dressmaker pins for beads 5/32" and smaller and the 18 gauge brass ones for the 3/16" and 1/4" beads. The dressmaker pins I bought form a local sewing shop for like a $1.99 for 300 I believe. Hope this helps.Name:  20200301_224306.jpg

    Well I believe you can also tie my all time best under a float jig that surprised me several ways to be sure.

    PERFECT!!!I've been tieing my Jigheads to hang horizontally for 40 years because I'm a bobber fisherman and presentation is the key to success
