Whirl. Slurp and munch. Fish are franticly siphoning food from the flow. The bite? Fast and furious. After all?it is last ice.
The sun抯 high and bright, and its intense rays are literally liquefying the layer of snow right out from underneath your boot抯 cleats. The melt-off抯 draw from the still-frozen surface is flowing down through your hole, as well pouring in from the surrounding springs and streams. Within the runoff, miniature morsels of food have been lying in a frozen state since the water first solidified.
It抯 the time of year when panfish of all species are treading high in the water column; their dorsal fins literally tickling the lake抯 soon-to-be-departed icy shell. The fish梤ejuvenated in the warming, freshly-oxygenated water梤equire more nourishment, and like right now.
The bite is on!
Drop too heavy of a lure, however, and it may plummet past fish before they have a chance to strike. Rather, it抯 the season to use baits that descend slowly through the water column, yet still have loads of action. Custom Jigs & Spins?Nuclear Ant is the perfect jig to poke through the slush of a freshly bored hole when using a lure that lingers is crucial.
The Nuclear Ant抯 unique four-legged finesse skirt is what sets this bombshell of a bait apart from others. It抯 made of super-soft plastic that let the legs flutter during its unhurried fall. And even more punishing to the fish, its skirt can be switched with fresh Nuclear Ant Legs for quick color changes when the bite suddenly slows. Mix. Match. It抯 doesn抰 matter.
Two popular sizes in eight color combinations load the line of Nuclear Ants梥ize 8 and 10 (1/50 and 1/100 ounce, respectfully)梑oth with double-segmented bodies wrapped around a gold, long-shank hook for added flare. Need more flash yet? Nuclear Ants are also offered in the prized 揚recious Metal?series, in glaring gold and silver. And the super-sharp hooks梬ith eyelet angle set so the jig stands perfectly vertical梐re large enough to load up with livebait or soft plastics like Custom Jigs & Spins?Micro Noodels and Finesse Plastics.
But don抰 pull the fuse from your Nuclear Ant arsenal once your favorite panfish waters thaw; they抮e great in open water as well, especially when suspended under a bobber or cast out on a fly rod.
So go ahead and drop a nuke this late ice and spring. Custom Jigs & Spins?Nuclear Ant is fully charged and of weapons grade.
