In most cases, not as well as other possible baits...

Got ya. I've always been curious about them. I just don't fish deep to much and the river usually isn't clear

After reading this thread I bought a few from dsg. I don't ledge fish often. But I bet I can find places to use the 1/2 oz. It looked good and looks even better when you take it out of the package. 

The advantage a hair jig has over every other jig skirt material is bass, not fisherman, like the natural texture and movement. This is also the reason a hair jig out fishes other jig in cold water when bass are less aggressive, it looks and feels alive to the bass so they don't reject very often.

I use hair jigs year around, day and night in bright sun or rainy weather in all types of water clarity because they work. My goal is catching bass and use lures that work for me and care less what they look like or what is currently popular.

Statements that hair jigs only work in cold water or clear water is simply false.
