Ultralight for BIG Bluegill

Post by replica66[] » Mon Nov 28, 2016 10:01 am

I am new to this website and I am excited that Ii has an "Ultralight" section. Thought I'd show a couple of pics of my favorite fish from a southern California local lake. They grow very large here and come in a variety of beautiful colors. We use 2 lb test and tiny hand-tied jigs or straight bait on "circle hooks" for the ease of hooking and releasing the largest panfish.

Hello & Welcome!!

The North American piranha ... :D ...given their voraciousness!!

Some nice fish...always fun!

Those 1/32 oz. Dardevle Lil Skeeter spoons and Rooster Tail 1/32 oz. double blade spinners have worked pretty well for me in addition to small jigs.
