A Few Jig Questions
This is my first try at beginning a thread here, so I hope I'm doing it right.
I have read several people's comments about adding a piece of live bait to a jig. Such as putting a cricket on a jig. My question is, "Is that better than putting a cricket on a bare hook?"
Also, is there a pattern database here somewhere where I can see pictures of jigs and read the materials list or a step-by-step of how to tie that particular pattern?
Are there any "Swaps" going on here where, say, a dozen guys send a set of a dozen flies to a "host" who sends back everyone one each of all the other jigs submitted? That way you send in 12 of the same pattern and get back 12 different patterns.
Or instead of that, would any of you guys who fly fish be willing to send me 3 or 4 jigs and let me send you 3 or 4 flies that are good bluegill flies?
Thanks
Randall Runion

Jim...maybe the ice won't be quite so thick this year. We usually do not have safe ice, only every 6 or 7 years. Last year, I couldn't get on the panfish but got 38 bass through the ice, including some whoppers...
It might be worth the effort!

I have never used or felt I needed a shelter either Jim . I did fish at the start of a blizzard a few years ago and got cold hands and packed it in after a few hours .Glad I didn't have a shelter I would've probably stayed out and got the truck stuck in the snow heh heh!

Got to see these in use on a lake over in Illinois last season. After watching the clouds drift by while flat on my back a few times, I began to pay more attention to what the In- Fisherman guys were wearing. Vowed I would have a set before next season.
