Here is one I tie on the Midwest finesse jig.   

 

 

Now I know one of the projects I am tackling this winter.  Thanks.

Going to send you some heads, tie me some of the gray over white ones, green pumkin, and some solid black.

Between grad school, work and kids, ill fit that in somewhere. ???, hit me up over christmas break.

today on the river i watched a river monster make a lunge at my black maribou jig. He was hanging out in an undercut bank within 3 feet of where I was standing. 

I watched him dart out, miss and in a flash he was gone into the current. I can only guess him at +3 lbs, he might have been my biggest river smallie this year. 

 

If I had been just jigged that jig a heartbeat later he probably would have nailed it but what fun for November, we've had frost every morning for a week.

I fish hair a lot in the colder periods

easy to tie your own and synthetic hairs work great. Stick with black

 

 can’t figure out how to add a picture

but if I do you’ll get the idea

Gorgeous fish! That jig looks great!

I buy a few dozen Andy's synthetic and bear har jigs each year. They are consistent, use decent hooks and are cheap enough to put in nasty places.

Andy’s jigs are good

I just like tying them myself. I do some buck tails also that have caught them

for color matching, they’re hard to beat

 

I plan on tying up some marabou jigs for the guys I fish with over the winter.  I have more than enough marabou, not to mention bucktail from my fly tying.  Plus a few unidentified patches of hair.  On the fly fishing side, jigs have become acceptable to tie flies on, but most of the jig hooks used are size 12 and smaller.  I picked up some 1/32 oz Moon Eye jigs, size 6 hooks.  They were in the bargain box at a local sporting goods store and tied up a couple using the unidentified patches of hair.  My color options are limited though.  

 

 

I also have some 1/20 oz fishhead jigs and Ned jigs to play with.   Definitely some nice work on here.  A lot of good ideas.

Those dogs will hunt!! You’d have to stay on plane to keep the smallies off those

Black, Brown & Shad cover most deals for me up this way.

A-Jay, have you tried his white?  I think you fish a lot of clear water, and for me in clear water, white is very good on swim jigs for smallies.  Wondering about white hair/marabou.

That 'shad' pattern is most white with a hint of light grey, I guess.

Most of the Shad baits I've gotten from Outcast had somewhat less 'color'

than the one pictured on the site. 

Either way it's still pretty bright.

Gotta make me a couple of these, have all the stuff to do it.  Artic fox should work.

@Cody28 - 2 cents, since no one has mentioned https://www.thornebros.com/ - They might be useful to chat with.

 

A friend called called to tell me he caught Montana State Record Smallmouth on my Anywhere Anytime hair jig. The record has fallen since then.

If you get on TW, Andy's jigs are on sale, along with everything else.

I enjoy tying myself and i love the colours you've chosen.

I’m a big fan of the Beast Coast Hustler Hybrid.

I have used zigjigs for trout for several years now, if I remember correctly they are now making them sized for bass/bigger fish, they work well enough for me.
