Pin Mins

Just starting to get ready for ice fishing a little bit. Re-doing my boat to stick steer and am forced to wait on parts. So I had to find something to do. I do use these the smaller ones in open water also. Thats a 1/4 " nut for size reference.

The larger ones I am going to try on walleye thru the ice this year. Weather permitting a good ice season this year. These will be used inconjuction with live bait. Minnows or pieces of a minnow on large ones. Maggots or wax worms will tip the smaller ones.

Look great Mr Hayes! Do you have a preference of 90 degree or straight hooks on these? Well I guess that depends on if you are casting or retrieving.

Ron - I use these thru ice or off a boat. I use jig hooks on some as some days the fish want a horizontal presentation. Watching a fish on camera thru the ice inhale a horizontal jig and ignore a vertical one convinced me. Some days it don't make a big difference but some days it DO. I always pack plenty of both straight and jig.

Excellent jigs - great paint
Dumb ? – how come you can’t use them year round?

Those look great! I'm sure they would work down here where we don't have any ice.

Wow! I think the lower right corner blade head would be perfect for tying an ultra slow flutter drop jig. Do you have a favorite blade shape?
