A bug is what you may have seen they call them different names.
They are for Goggle eyes you can get at select tackle shops.

This one is chartreuse but they come Silver and I think I got them at Bill Boydes in Fort Lauderdale.
It is similar to a banna Jig but shape is a little different, this jig works on a flutter in mid water or baited dragged on the bottom or across the top.
It works for larger baits ones you can swim out if you get my meaning.

you think the one Tom posted looks like these?
http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/ice-jigs/315417.aspx
though I imagine they don't use saltwater quality hooks in them, so there is a risk of corrosion. any rate, 10 or 20 of those, some powder paint, a heat gun & pliers & should be in business:

of course there probably are other options, but a few cents worth on my part...
An easier way.

I use #8 Mustad style 34011 stainless steel hooks and wrap them with light gauge solder. Mash the solder lightly with pliers until you get the shape you want. Coat the solder with a thin coat of J-B Weld. When dry, prime it with white spray paint then paint it with whatever color you choose. I've found day glow pink, day glow orange and day glow green all work. Solid white works sometimes too. Finally, mix up some 2-part epoxy and brush it over the paint to keep them shiny and tough.
The stainless hooks will last until a mackerel bites it off.
An alternative is to buy some silver crimp sleeves large enough to pass over the hook eye. Flatten the sleve with pliers to make a tiny spoon. You can add a little hair or feathers if you choose to.
If you have a problem finding these tiny stainless steel hooks, IM me. I have some and will sell them cheap.

Get the Gold ones from Marcus if he has any. If they hit anything they hit those first and last before they shut off for the day

You are at the mercy of every town has a different name for the same thing.
It is a GOG-bug....or a Gogglebug....or a Goggleyebug.
it is found in local tackle shops with saltwater hooks but you can also find them in outlet stores too. it is a lead body a 1/4 inch long and a little less than half as wide. so it weighs about 1/8 to 1/16 oz. They dont have to be painted so thats why it looked like a little spoon. I found some ice fishing jigs almost identical and had some glow paint that worked phenom......
