LittleRedFisherman Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 Mic, basically is a marabou jig with an odd shaped head that gives it kind of a zig zag motion as it falls. Really there called the "white river zig jig", there a hot bait on the tailwaters. Figure you can do the same thing with a standard marabou, but some swear these are better, from how they worked for me the other day on the Point, I'd have to say there's something to them. I had planned to flyfish most of the day, and I did some, but trying to manuever a boat with two other guys it was easier to spin fish, turned out to work out great! They advertise zig jigs here on OA. www.zigjig.com There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
LittleRedFisherman Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 River John's rule!!!! Greasy, I really think I could of cleared where I pulled the boat through, but the exercise didn't hurt me, and I still got a boat without a leak.... After having that a year, I agree, best money I've ever spent on toys..... There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
mic Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Zig jigs rock. Ham showed them to me on a trip down to the white and probably outfished me 2:1 with them. When I first bought some, I looked at the hook and thought...that has to be too small. But the hookup percentage is good, and I don't think I have lost a fish that I have hooked with them. Anyone know where I can get similiar jigheads? Thanks
