Your baits look great. They are like some of my favorite ones from Custom Jigs & Spins!
Just thought I would share my latest Bait.The hooks are #8 sickle the heads are 1/8" and 5/32" round. I think they weigh around 1/100, 1/80 oz? T I just made the mold for he bodies the other day. Plain white, but Put some glow powder in them too! Let me know what you all think.

I really like the thin tailed pink head.
I also think any of the 4 will catch fish.
Garminarmin gpsmap 1040 xs networked with Garmin gpsmap 1242 xsv , Panoptix PS 30 and PS 31. Livescope LVS 32
Ice rig Echomap Ultra 106SV with LVS 12 and GT10-IF
Those will put fish on the ice for sure. Those sickles will stick em.
great looking jig, i used plastic like that last ice season and had good luck
Those jigs look great but i just cant seem to get the crappies and gills to bite plastics without at least tipping them. Gonna try again this season tho. The fish here wont touch a bait if any of the hook is showing. It's not like that when the water warms up here. I've even downsized to #10 hooksizes.
Thanks for the approval folks. I have only been ice fishing once. Been doing a lot of research online trying to find out what works best and how to present the bait. Would like to get a flasher, but can't justify the price. I do have a bottom line fish finder that has ice mode on it though. Anyone used a regular fish finder through the ice?
I will never fish without a flasher again. Its like night and day

The best ice jig I ever used was a barbless Purist size 14. I tie the jig on,
use no grub or scent and fish previously drilled holes!! I just walk around, drop the jig in and catch 2-6 fish, then move on to the next hole!
They come in many colors, but I use black 90% of the time, once in a while
brown or orange. Because of health issues I can't fish very cold days. When I go, I take a plastic bag, three prerigged poles and a skimmer. When the bag is full (usually 1-3 hours) I go home and wait for the next 25-40 degree
day! Try it ...it works!!!
