What brand are you fishing?

Size?

Trailer or not?

I'm using hair jigs for finesse work.

Lindy Little Nipper in 1/16oz.

Usually a 4" Curly tail or twin tail grub - Mr. Twister or Zoom Fat Albert.

I don't use them much.  The ones I have are VMC Moontail Hair Jigs.  I prefer black or other dark color to match the enormous hatches of mayflies and lake flies we have up here throughout the summer.

I have a bunch of Arkie hair jigs, size 1/8 and 1/4oz. When I use them, I use a small Zoom chunk trailer.

Roadwarrior, if you havnt already, take a look at Dale Hollow Tackle. They have the Punisher hair jig, and an aspirin head hair jig also. Both look good

Me too.

But whatever you do,

Do not, I repeat, Do Not

add the last one inch tail section of a MaxScent Flat Worm to that deal.  Might get your arm broke . .

I tie them myself... slightly less than 1/8oz dressed weight... most of the time any "trailer" is tied as part of the jig.

I tie my own.  I like a 1/8 oz head, 1/0 hook with about 3" to 3 1/2" rabbit strip tail, with some bucktail or arctic fox tail hair around the collar for a body.  Sometimes 1/4 oz with 4" tail.  Black seems to be my best color.

 

If I use a pure bucktail jig, I sometimes will use a small swimbait trailer.

This time of year, I normally use a 3/8oz. hair jig for targeting the 14-18ft. range. Normally, it's white with some strands of mylar and either blue or brown hair. My most productive retrieve is stroking it off the bottom and letting it sit for 3-5 seconds. I tie them myself, but purchase the jig heads in bulk.

1/8 to 1/4oz bear hair jig that I cannot tie but have others tie for me.

1/8oz Kalins with a 3/8"-1/2" piece of Berkley General threaded up the shank.
