Brian's Custom Tackle

Field Notes

A small 5mm jig like this is best for finesse presentations to panfish, especially when fish are pressured or feeding lightly. It can be fished under a float or worked slowly near cover and deeper holes with subtle lifts and pauses.

Pros

  • Very small profile for finicky fish
  • Good finesse option for ice or open-water panfish
  • Simple to fish under a float or with light jigging

Cons

  • Too small for larger species
  • Limited casting distance in wind
  • May require light line and small hooks for best performance
