<p>Let me know how it works out, I have never tried the "spin-jig" thing but have always wanted to, sounds like you already know what works though.</p>

<p>Ben, that's the main reason I keep coming back to this hole. I love how aggressive they are. I guess that's why Greenies are one of the parents for Hybrid Sunnies. Of course, we have Hybrids at the pond at work.....love fishing for those as well.</p>

<p>Nathan, it's Fox fur. It actually has a really nice action, moves really nicely. I was hoping to use the vibration of the blade to get the entire frame and jig to vibrate as well. Like you said, I probably need a bigger blade. The frame I used has what appears to be a size 3 Colorado blade on it. I do have some bigger Colorado blades, I may swap one out and give it a try as well.</p>

<p>A longer rod, lighter line, bigger line guides, and a bigger spool on the reel will help with distance. Maybe I should have used my Light action 7' rod. It has a 2500 series reel, and 10 lbs test braid. It's thinner than the 4 lbs test mono on my UL rig.</p> glad you got out to fish a l…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2014-04-12:2036984:Comment:4946382014-04-12T01:49:15.402Zcarl hendrixhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/carlhendrix

<p>I like Greenies. Being that they are elongated with a large mouth, you could actually consider them a "mini" bass and are fun to catch.</p>

<p>My Mom has a bunch of Koi and she loves them. She has a few that are almost as big as torpedoes.</p>

<p>Sounds like fun, Allen. What type of hair do you have on your jigs? Most natural materials don't have a ton of action but hackle or marabou would probably be best if you're looking for movement in the water or pulsating. I'm not sure if a blade will really affect the motion of the material itself, unless you can get a big enough blade to disturb the water the material will be traveling through.

I agree about the light jig thing, I've been trying to cast my jigs (I have no idea how heavy they are but I would guess either 1/32 or 1/64th oz.) and it aint easy getting them very far!</p>
