Pipe Jigs

iwanttofish · 05-13-2008, 08:06 AM

Here are a few pics of a jig I made up last week the have stainless steel cable and a stainless steel cotter pin for the hook it is about 7 1/2" long and has a 9.0 treble hook. I cant wait to try it out. We were thinking about using these and inserting it into a large squid and using thread or rubber bands to hole the squid on.

I would use it just as it is!!
I have caught Ling, Hali, rock fish etc. with them. Quite possibly my favorite for the bottom.

Just cut the arms off the squid and thread them onto the hooks
The movement while jigging is very effective

pipe jigs are great for bottom fish. i stopped usinga treble hook now use a 10-12 /0 single alot less snags that way. big grubbs on the hook.

I made these up, only I used a sinle piece of brazing rod as the insert, with swivels, and a siwash. They weight exactly 24 oz (8 1/2" X 3/4") and am thinking of using them as weights off my hali spreaders.

Those look great also, I saw the other post that showed using as weight also. I guess if a person wanted you could put the single on the pipe and a single on the other end of the spreader with a gulp or hoochie and bait.

I'm not sure, but I believe you are limited to 2 hooks per line, i.e. mooching type double hook rig. I think separating the 2 (one on bait, one on pipe jig weight, off spreader) would be illegal. I was goign to use them without the hook, just as weight and possible attractant to the hook/bait off the other end of the spreader.

I dont know either but it would be worth checking because you can use multiple for other bottom fish, We will have to check into it.

They look great. I'd cut 1 hook out of the treble. I started doing that 2 years ago and they seemed to hook just as many fish and didn't snag up as much....

By looking at the regs it looks like you could use two hooks so you could have one on your pipe jig- either a single, double or treble and a bait with one hook also.

What are you fishing for plumbers

I had to. Those look great. Good job.

A budy used one at the bannana last friday and said it had the mojo (3 to 1) over bait. Butt don't they have to be single point hooks on halibutt?

OK, lets have it. How do they work?
