Float and jig? opinions?

Featured Replies

Hey all.

Was just curious on what all of your opinions are on the float and jig set up. Was thinking bout getting small small jigs like 1/16 or 1/32 to catch the small perch in local ponds with some megastrike on em. Do the bigger ones work good for bass or pickerel? Any one use this often? I think it'll be good way to get bait fish (perch) since they bite anything.

Are you talking about a float and fly?  Research float and fly - it is a cool/cold weather approach for smallmouth on clear highland reservoirs.  Maybe it will adapt to your locale.  Call up In-Fisherman magazine and talk to an editor.  It seems to me that several years ago they were doing quite a bit of research fishing, suspending jigs from floats for different species.

My son catches a ton of small bass and panfish in small ponds on float and tiny 1/16 maribou jigs.
