Hair Jig Recommendation

[Fridays86]

I like Calf Tail for small jigs and craft fur for larger. Each person will have their own preference.

not be a smarty ...but "hair jigs" are a winter bait .....
not really a spring bait in these parts ....
just saying my friend ...
start now , why wait
they have really subtle movements when held still and are flat out deadly in real cold water

The crappie on the Big Four in Mississippi do not know that.....just saying. Rabbit hair works great all year.

I would like to have a few hair jigs to experiment with in the spring. I have never used hair jigs before as I have always used plastic. I’m looking to you guys for recommendations on brands and best colors.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Get yourself some supplies and a vice and watch some videos on you tube and tie your own. Doesn’t take but a few minutes to tie them and you’ll get better each time you sit at the vice. Copy the patterns you like.

Here in my neck of the woods water temp above 50 degrees plastics best and water under 50 degrees hair is best. I have several years of research on this!!!!

to be sure the subtly of a feather /hair jig in the cold water is a killer

Personally I like to like to use marabou for verticle jigging and under a cork. I troll and cast using a hair jig.

Find a dog that has fine fur hair. My border collies do which is unlike German Shepard hair which is more course. Fine fur action is similar to the subtle action of marabou feather both of which well even under a float. Feather is the finest material and comes in many colors:


...but fur has a bulkier body shape:


Both catch fish equally well. I add a thin plastic trailer at times.
