J-plug sizes

[joelsanders]

Do they make j-plugs smaller than the #3 size ? Does anyone ever run the smaller plugs earlier in the summer, and also does anyone run any bigger than a size #5 in the fall. I know that tomic lures have a size#7

I think the # 5s measure about 5-3/4 inches long. I don't run any bigger ones, but I would if I had some. The 5s especially the glows have been good, but I mostly fish salmon only in August. I have a few of the 3s and have taken fish on them. I never saw any smaller than 3s.

i start fishing the 3s around the week befor 4th of july and take fish on them untill im done fishing. there something different to put in there face

3" is the smallest ive seen of both J-Plug and Tomic.

But theres a Canadian luremaker company named Lyman lures, they make plugs down to 1.5 or 2". Have a look at their plugs here: http://www.lymanlures.com

They have some really nice patterns, take well care of the plugs, cause they are made of wood.

If a guy had some time on his hands, he could whittle up some Js out of wood dowels or old handles. A little paint and they'll be collectors items 50 years from now. Everyone gets hung up on pretty paint jobs and smooth looking lures. I don't think the fish give a rip about how even or pretty they look.

Lyman makes their plugs from a #1 to a #9 monster.

#4 is the standard sized(same with a J plug).

Years ago, Luhr Jensen used to make a size 2, which were killer for browns. I don't think they've made them in years other than by special order.
