    Default Ultralight jigs


    I wanted something for drift fishing under a float for steelhead
    and salmon. I came up with these. I can't find my scale but
    I doubt they weigh 1/4 ounce combined. These are bigger
    but I'll bet using the same technique will work for slow fall
    presentations.

    Left are 1/2 ounce size heads
    Middle are 3/8
    Right are 1/8

    All of them are hot glue instead of lead. I wanted them to swing and sway in the current. So far no hookups but rivers had been low when I tried them.

    found my scale, largest one is 1/10 ounce, 4 gr. Thats one a 5/0 hook
    Total weight was .6 ounces.

    I think a 1/16 or 1/32 jig head with the hot glue on a #2 or #4 hook in a worm pattern or a grub would float down mighty slow on a weed edge or by stumps and logs and entice some nice monsters to come out from hiding to eat em.
