Slabologist: those are some good looking jigs! Couple questions if you don't mind. Do they have both Krystal Flash and Flashabou? Are they bucktail?
I've never really given hair/feather jigs their due. I enjoy tying them but always seem to turn to plastic when actually fishing. Practically all of my fishing is vertical jigging on the docks, except of course during the Spring. When vertical jigging, would one fish a hair jig the same way they would a plastic? Or slower and with less movement?
Thanks

Yes they are bucktail with crystal flash and a couple of strands of flashabou
the black and chartruse jigs at the top and the three pink and white have glow flash in them. I use thes jigs vertical jigging and under a cork or even trolling. The bucktail when held still under water has a alive movement to it.

NEVER under estimate hair jigs. They can be a little hard to work with, just need to find some good soft hair. They can be fished the same as plastic, it really depends on the conditions.Originally Posted by OKSTATEjiggy
