Black jig spinners

[JUNGLEJIMJIGS]

I was out Saturday fishing for trout through the ice holes along the dock. There was a guy fishing with a 1/16 black road runner with a nickel blade sitting on a bucket and every few minutes it seemed he would be hooked up with one. Didn't have any blade baits with me and nothing solid black but managed a dozen or so trout in the couple hours I was there. Yesterday, conditions were windy so decided to make some black bladed jigs. These are 1/16 on #6 sickle hooks. Some spinners and prop baits using marabou and shimmer rabbit strips in silver and gold. Been a long time since I have painted a solid color jig. I will have one of these on when I fish tomorrow.

Looks good and I've found they like the black baits here.

Black is an overlooked color that works very well for many species. The propeller jigs are tricky to tie sometimes and a single strand of flash can impede the action of the bait but they spin and flash like crazy and are fantastic for vertical jigging. I bet they would be killer with live scope.

Hit the city park lake yesterday. Cold and winds up to 25 mph so knew I wouldn't be fishing long. Still had ice on 75% of the lake. Started with my purple bunny but no interest so tied on a black pillhead spinner and only fished it for a couple minutes before I hooked up with a nice one about 16". Couple minutes later hooked it's twin. Ended up catching 8 rainbows in 1.5 hours before the cold got the best of me and I had to leave. All were caught on the black spinner.
