Scout swim jig

After a few years of tying swim jigs, here are three colors that have been productive and seem to catch the eye of the fisherman as well:

The above jig is called the "BullGill". The head is powder painted Junebug on top with a little orange on the bottom. The skirt has almost every color a male bluegill exhudes. Also,there are a few strands of orange skirt on the bottom. This color is very popular and is my go-to "dark color".

The above jig is relatively new. It is called the Blue Shad. The skirt is quite cool as it looks silverish, but when in sunlight, it exhibits a blue pearl color. Very popular clear water color. While the head looks like it is not painted, it is powder painted with a silver clear coat. I think it matches the skirt quite well.

This last jig has it all. I call it "Heartland Craw". Matter of fact, the company where I get my skirts liked the name so well, that he named the skirt "Heartland craw" as well. This jig has a green pumpkin head with a little orange under neath. The skirt contains three colors blended together. Two shades of green pumpkin and a little chartreuse. Really cool dark, bottom dwelling color.

 

Of course, one color I left off, that is also popular, is my silver shad color. This jig has a white head with a white skirt that has silver glitter plastered on the skirt. Good all around color scheme.

Im a member at private strip mines that have extremely clear water. Without a doubt my best color is a blue shad color, anything that puts out that blue glow or flash. That middle color would be a killer on these pits. The strip mines have freshwater herring in them,would that color resemble them?I know for a fact they have no shad in them.

Mr. Bonney:

 

I can create any "flavor" you want. Folks of late have been ordering my BullGill pattern quite a bit along with the Blue Shad. But, as you know, I can custom make any color combo you want. Keep in mind, we know have more head sizes: 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce. Shoot me a PM through the site and we can talk. thanks for your continued interest.

Hi John...

I am new to the ISA...and was doing some reading this afternoon and came across all the swim jig threads! I would love to purchase a couple of these and try my hand with it. Can you help me with colors/types. I primarily fish the fox..

 

Very enticing!

 

Thank you,

Jeff Didier
