Thread: plastic or marabou Jigs

just wanted to pick y'alls brains wondering what is more popular with you guys, plastic or feather? and wondering what you think are the advantages and disadvantages in your opinions.

Plastic for trolling and maribou for vertical jigging.

I prefer plastic even though feathers work well trolling for me also. My favorite are those cheap 6" bass worms at walmart with sickle tails especially the rootbeer color with a chartruese tail. I cut the the worm off just above the tail and enough to thread on the jig head. The sickle tail will create a lot of action even at slow speed more than the grub with a swirly tail. I also like any twin tail plastic. It seems like the more action the better.

Good luck

How about a jig with both. marabou tail for action at the slightest twitch with a soft body for a realistic feel. I troll them and my buddy will use curly tails and they catch just as many.

Best jig we have used of late is a pink / pink flash Ron's Bite.

so basically different strokes for different folks.

try'em both and let the fish decide.
