Dutch Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I have never quit using them. I prolly have a hundred or so in the boat right now. The two best trips of the year so far have been on them. Mitch f and Sac River Jim 2
Mitch f Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Good article! You know you Stockton guys are lucky because the old school hair jig guru Phil Shafer lives in Stockton. I prefer hair jigs with 2 or more materials. Finer buck tail on the back to give it a stiff spine so it doesn't bend in half on the fall when falling horizontally, and a softer body like palmered cross cut rabbit. Then marabou or arctic fox on the tail. But this is only for minnow and Shad patterns. The crawfish jigs are completely different. Hair jigs are so easy to make and so darn effective, I can't believe more people don't use them. Plus, it's a great thing to do off season sitting in front of the fireplace.

Feathers and Fins Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Jim I have been tying a ton of them this year, I have a good friend in Mass that is using them for striper and other friends around the country using them. This is my most popular one. Its a double hook rig and pulsates in the mid section when paused and when swimming it has great motion. slab slinger, Sac River Jim, Fly_Guy and 2 others 5 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856

This sounds awfully close to fly tying which is awfully close to fly fishing which is awfully close to trout fishing. Be careful, don't go all LL Bean on us.
