Not sure if they are a sponsor anymore but in your opinion, do you think something like the Fox Tail can have the same effect as a hair jig in cold water?  

Animal fur makes for good jigs, and I'm sure they work in cold water, but to me, when it really gets cold, it's hard to beat marabou and hackle.

I'm thinking of starting a bait company named distemper, or maybe hip dysplasia.
