Jigging for lake trout

[pikeman8]

Headed up to Lake Superior this July the second time since moving downstate. I am in need of some large jig heads (round) in 2-6 oz sizes without hair. Can't seem to find em anywhere in lower Michigan. Does anyone here pour these or know where to buy? I would like between 40-50 total and no need to be painted but if they are they must be white or yellow no odd colors. Let me know thanks.

Try a number 9 or 11 Swedish pimple. They work good as well. We caught some lakers the other day on them. If you find some jigs PM me I would like some to try.

I've been planning to start jigging in Lake Michigan and have researched and bookmarked what I think are the most hopeful options. Here's what I've got in my Favorites list...although I have yet to fish with any of them. Back in Wyoming it seems only the old-timers troll anymore...everyone else jigs. In some lakes where depth goes from 350ft to 80 feet in a matter of a few yards, trolling can be very dangerous if you don't know exactly where you're at.

Good luck...please report what works for you.

Also some Michigan fisherman making "Jonah Jigs" somewhere up north, maybe Frankfurt I think. I rarely get up there so haven't looked for them...but I had a note to self that they were carried at:

Big Bob's in Frankfort, Riley's in Manistee, and Capt Chucks in Ludington

Supposedly a great jig and getting used by a lot of guys.
