<p>Hi Carl, Usually we freshwater fishermen have trouble locating the Fishbites products anywhere inland (tho this should change with their new "rind" product ,intro'd for our sweetwater jigs), so I order mine directly from their Florida location. My favorite for clipping the cylinders is their shrimp bodies - <a href="https://fishbites.com/product/ffc-fightn-shrimp/" target="_blank">https://fishbites.com/product/ffc-fightn-shrimp/</a> These lures are round and tapered, so you can clip a…</p>

<p>Thanks, inverting is not a problem. Those are 1/64 and 1/32 ounce jigs and the waxie is 1/2” long and about 1/8” diameter.</p>

<p>Yep, just right rigging to create wobble. Tho I'd suggest inverting the grub on those bottom two, so the thick end is on top. This works best with 1/32 to 1/24 oz jigheads and no 8 or 10 hooks ;for heavier jigheads a bigger dianeter "can" shape(crosscut section of a bass worm or Fishbites swim body) is better.</p>

<p>Is this how one should rig the “grubs” ie Gulp Alive waxies we are using re the bottom two jigs?</p>

<p>Vinnie, It was that toughness, as well as aroma (tho we humans can barely smell it), of Fishbites material, that really convinced me to cut cross sections (i really enjoy their Fightclub shrimp bodies, due to their roundness) of the swim lures they offer. I've found that bluegills go directly for these small, hand carved cylinders when attacking, and that's exactly where the hook point is nestled!</p>

<p>Kelly, I haven't tried em thru the ice (yet) but often vertical jig with a can on the point/bend of the hook, and see very nice wobbling action downward. I've taken nice bluegills,bass, and crappie while doing this, and the fish really hangon to Fishbites tasty cylinders! So, yeah, this combo should be a winner for ice jiggin' !

<p>Hi Kelly, Yeah, even when I first started tipping with cylinders on our jigs,I wasn't satisfied with the action, UNTIL I rigged 'em upright like a sitting can,to best receive water pressure. In some cases,pinned these wide discs up higher on the hook point to acquire even better swimming action. So,if your using a grub,pin it so it sticks straight up -will look strange but gives the extra shimmy that fish love!</p>
