I had Siebert Outdoors make me a little, puffball jig with a trailer made of living rubber.  Worked great without a trailer.  I bet Mike would make you the same thing if you ask.  They were no more than his regular jigs.

Why not look into tungsten jigs?

Definitely something to look into later on but right now I'm mostly trying to learn. Five bucks a pop for something I lose a lot of is kinda discouraging.

I'm hearing a lot of good things about Seibert Outdoors. I'll be sure so see what they can whip up next time I'm stocking up. Their spinnerbaits look pretty sweet too so that's another plus.

I love the spinnerbaits.  Get the wire tied version.  The skirts last forever.

I'll be sure to check em out too. After looking em up, they might be the ticket. Many thanks.

They are fantastic jigs. Not just because they are a great price, but they catch tons of fish.

If you want them to last for over 50 fish wire tie the skirt on after you get them. I always do it and they last for a very long time. I have an old post that I showed a jig that was beat to hell, with over 50 fish caught on it. One of my favorites.

What size wire do you use?

I mostly use 1/4oz with a trailer like a Yum Wooly Bug, a small 3" beaver type bait. Some lakes I fish have tons of SMB and are deep clear lakes, so I will use the 3/8oz to get down.

I use 24 gauge copper wire

A tungsten jig head is smaller than a lead one of the same weight. Combined with a shorter skirt, it will give you a smaller profile while not sacrificing weight. Add a short trailer with a lot of action, like the business end of a RageTail Craw and you can alter the fall rate.
