This olive jig imitates the shrimp egg sack that panfish thrive on…..live grass shrimp tipped for best results..,.

I hook these shrimp so that they can still click and add vibration which isn't essential in warm water applications but I have spun off of the experienced cold water anglers like Tony Livingston who insists on the spike being hooked to wiggle.....Little seemingly subtle changes can mean the difference in a strike or not....
