Favorite ice jig rigs

[#0000FF]There's no denying the effectiveness of the Hali Jigs. But the big problem using them in Utah is that they are made for perch and panfish...and we gots some toothy fishies like big trout and walleyes that don't read the "Panfish Only" sign. One bout with big teeth can do serious damage to those little chains.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Naturally, I have been making my own versions for a long time. I use painted weights...with glow...and instead of the small chain I use light wire. It doesn't seem to repel fish at all. I have caught grundles on them. And I have also landed some large toothy fishies...including northerns and tiger muskies.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Of course the Hali Jigs are trademark named. So I call mine "Holy Jigs". Anybody can make their own, or as you suggested, add a short wire and jig to any type of jigging spoon or other lure. And a short 4-6" length of wire is all you need. As you said...no tangles either.
