Thread: Jigs for brim

Thanks for the input guys, I have robjohnson making me a 1/32 crawfish style jig and see if that'll bust some lips or not.

There's very little difference in size between a 1/64 oz trout magnet and a slider grub on a 1/32 oz head, but the latter is twice as heavy. Bream like that slow drop through the water column.

Ice jig tipped with an appetizing morsel.

i'm a 1/64 trout magnet guy myself when im targeting them alone but i've caught plenty on a 1/16 cb slider while crappie fishing. some of the jig tieing guys on this forum can make some awesome brim jigs. i do recommend staying with darker colors like brown, rust, or a dark orange.

I totally agree lighter is better in most situations . When this occurs which is rare where I fish . The use of a black gnat and a 4/5 wt. fly rod is my weapon of choice . a 1/32 is the heaviest jig that I cast on an ultra-lite since I use no floats unless live bait is used . Any faster fall will kill the red ear bite but bluegill bite seems to care less . When jigging 1/100 (bass pro shop/white river )fished with a #3 split shot 8-10 inches above the jig is awesome in brush tops . Fishing applications dictate choice of tackle and method . It's all good .

those three pictures are 3 different bream .

I'll agree with all suggestions and add one of my all time favorite colors is orange(crawfish imitator) .
