This photo was taken in 16 it is now filled with Sigletts (3/16oz) and Grand Sigletts (1/4oz) only. There are casted on a PG BFS 68 Long Distance with 15 Aldebaran 50HG spooled with Yo-Zuri 10lb. Favorite colors are in both are Aburazemi, Higurashi and Min Min Zemi and Smoke. If you can still find the Mat Version with the Glow Wings they are the best and would highly suggest you go to Samurai Tackle to do so or at least for reference. As for fishing these little gems as soon as it hits the water and the wings spread out is by far is the most productive keeping in mind always looking for weed row edges and pockets. Now if you get past that with out a blowup try twitching it a few times just like you would see a bug trying hop on the water. Thirdly a slow retrieve about 3-5 feet at a time and repeat. P.S Have read Negative about the hooks on the Grand in the past , however never have had a problem with the hookup with stock hooks.

Re: Cicadas are coming
Thanks rp346 for the information. I see a deep rabbit hole. I will try out the Sigletts once the weather gets good.
On a side note, I saw a guy on YouTube fishing on with a foam ear plug with a hook and he got bit. I am looking forward to some fishing with the Sigletts.

Try a double split ring under a Siglett with the up sized hook.

Re: Cicadas are coming
Depends on the ferocity of the cast. It's been tangle free on the educated casts that are gentlemanly...
If you catch my drift.

Re: Cicadas are coming
We commonly get them here with "fur finish"...
Should be able to get them online I guess?

Re: Cicadas are coming
Do the huge hatches cause fishing to slow down for anyone? like the fish get so many easy chances at food that they dont bite as often because the live in a cicada buffet.

Had this happen once after a massive hatch of white millers on the Mississippi.
I don't know whether enough cicadas fall into the water to sate the appetite of bass, though.
