Trout soft plastics?
« on: 01/20/14 19:27 UTC »
Does anyone have a recommendation for a soft plastic to rig on a 1/16th oz walleye jig head?  I had a Stinger Wutz It on one yesterday, but they wouldn't hit it until I trimmed the profile a little.  I might also try them on a 1/16th oz football head.  Here's the video of what we've been catching:

I know that the Trout Worm can be a hot bait in tail water streams.  Check you local shops for the Power Bait trout worms.

I would bet that the new 2.5" grub would wack 'em !

I catch a lot of Trout through the ice using a regular Curl Tail grub.
This little 20" Rainbow hit a 1/16 oz round head with a white grub tail.

    Super cool Jeff. Great job on the baits, and adjustments to ensure the boys were catching fish. Those are some memories that will stay with them for ever. Outstanding. :) ;D

Nice job with the boys Jeff looks like a great time was had by all, and their braver than me too cold out here in PA for my bones!
