Tabbert Jig Testimony

Fished from shore for about an hour in the NW cove .2# test rig: Pushed way up on the hook ,a small piece of worm with this little jig , caught most of the twenty or so gills midday today .Yellow Perch favored the middle 32nd oz. jig/rig.The far left rig/Jig was very effective after the feed got going .

Comment by John Sheehan on December 14, 2016 at 10:45am: Leo-The ones with the split shot are really pole floats I believe but i was trying them here lob casting as they get tangled when used with springy rod tips like i have on my long poles and casting for distance .

Comment by John Sheehan on December 14, 2016 at 10:40am: Yes Dick

Comment by dick tabbert on December 14, 2016 at 10:12am: Well I guess there not just for ice fishing anymore. I guess we can say they are finesse baits when smaller is better.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on December 14, 2016 at 9:42am: Impressive Dick. Make sure to place these baby into your all time-go to jigs for the perch.

Interesting float John. How sensitive are those? I tend to use the Thill Shy Bite, which is a hell lot smaller and thinner than those, since the crappie and winter bites are ultra light.

Comment by carl hendrix on December 13, 2016 at 6:57pm: YOU CANT FISH; A DICK TABBERT JIG WRONG;; AS LONG AS YOU TIE IT ONTO YOUR LINE !! ;; NUFF SAID !!

Comment by dick tabbert on December 13, 2016 at 2:28pm: The next batch I make will be on downsized heads and back to the a larger curved hook so it will look more like waxworms and you can add real waxworms to the mix at least I'm hoping.

Comment by John Sheehan on April 18, 2015 at 10:24am: A fixed float/ slip float /removable setup I just found at my local shop .Gonna try these Thills out this year.

Comment by John Sheehan on April 16, 2015 at 3:55pm: Hey Dick -Care to post a mention here of materials ,weights, and hook sizes ? I will say that the nymph style jig on the far right is incredibly durable after most of the twenty or so fish caught , attacked it !

Comment by John Sheehan on April 16, 2015 at 2:54pm: Thanks Carl-The Thills are the light biter floats (Gills this point) .They work great .Don't cast far but that's why I rigged the weighted foam float too. At an inlet flow this time of year ya don't need to cast far anyway. The Gills mostly Hens and Pseeds were a foot and a half under the surface . Best fighter award goes to the Pseeds!
