Best Fishing Applications

Crappie Fishing — Brush Piles & Standing Timber

The Ruben Flores PH Jig is an excellent option for crappie holding around submerged brush, standing timber, and other freshwater structure.

Fish the jig with short lifts and controlled pauses, keeping it near the depth where crappie are suspended. The hand-tied body continues to provide subtle movement even when the jig is retrieved slowly.

Suspended Crappie & Open Water

When crappie are suspended away from cover, the PH Jig can be presented vertically or retrieved slowly through the school.

Its natural profile makes it useful when fish are feeding on small baitfish and responding to subtle lure movement.

Bluegill & Panfish

The PH Jig can also be used for bluegill and other panfish. A light spinning outfit and controlled retrieve help maintain a natural presentation around shallow cover and deeper structure.

How to Fish the Ruben Flores PH Jig

Slow Swimming Retrieve: Cast beyond the target area and retrieve steadily, keeping the jig at the depth where fish are feeding.

Vertical Jigging: Lower the jig to suspended fish and use gentle rod-tip movements to create subtle action.

Float Fishing: Suspend the jig beneath a float to maintain a consistent depth around brush piles, docks, and shallow structure.

Premier Tackle Tip: Crappie often feed upward. Start by presenting the jig slightly above the fish rather than directly below them, and adjust your retrieve based on their response.
