Super User Jig Man Posted May 10, 2022 Super User Share Posted May 10, 2022 I got a call last night from a friend who is going with some guys the first week of June. I don’t know what lake but they will be fishing for smallmouth. He wants some tube heads and Ned heads. Neither he no I have fished there before. So I am trying to get an idea of what to make him. My original thoughts are 1/8 and 1/4 oz tube heads and 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 oz Ned heads. Mn guys am I in the ball park or way off course?

Super User FryDog62 Posted May 10, 2022 Super User Share Posted May 10, 2022 Absolutely in the ball park. For smallmouth I use primarily 1/8 oz Tube jigs, sometimes 3/16. Neds almost exclusively 3/32 oz, but if over 15 feet and/or current then 1/8 oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Jig Man Posted May 10, 2022 Author Super User Share Posted May 10, 2022 Thanks. I have poured him 2 dozen of each size that I listed. Will that be enough for a week of solid fishing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Jig Man Posted May 11, 2022 Author Super User Share Posted May 11, 2022 That’s what I figured but I don’t know if he thinks I should make my friend more baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uno Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Two dozen of each should be good, unless he enjoys fishing heavy jigheads in shallow rocks and loses all of them on snags. Pike will bite off a few, but hopefully by June the little slimer pike and the smallmouth will inhabit different places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
