Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Pounder Beaded Nymph tipped with mealworm has caught Pseeds, Bass, and Bluegill....Spoons tipped with Shiner heads or tails have been attracting nice crappie 11-13.5" ....micro jigs/waxies on 3# test straight line catch the majority of fish (Small Perch and Gills )

Only way to find out if adding beads are  "too much " is to try it .I don't know how far fish will travel to a bait through the ice and I believe Bluegill to be a species that like the least amount of accoutrements and motion but hey ,I aint a fish so I could be absolutely wrong !  Bottom bumper rig fished vertically ,I see why you made the connection to the ice fishing pounder rig .

A spinner would be cool. What about beads that slide up and down and clack together for a little sound. Too much? The bottom bumper rig is fished vertically along the river channel.

I'm thinking of adding a small spinner by the weight to the ponder rig .

Do you drag it for catfish Keith ? Is that the idea , kick up mud and get your bait noticed by a Catfish?

The pounder is similar to a bottom bumping rig we use for catfish just scaled down. I almost wish I lived far enough North I could ice fish. Maybe I'll try it sometime.

Wow I couldn't even imagine where my ice fishing things are, guess I had better look around.

I agree with John, pounding refers to a technique more than a rig. Lots of guys pound the bottom with only the jig, no added weight. I do this also, and I do not add weight while ice fishing.....just a jig.

I guess so Keith but to call it a 'pounder rig ' is more descriptive of how you work the rig . Get that weight pounding  and calling fish in, then dead stick or work subtle movements with the baited lure of choice .
