Used to be a big time crappie fisherman and remember catching a good bit of bass on Marabou style jigs. May have to grab an old pack out of the tacklebox next time I head out and intentionally fish them for bass. Anybody else use them?

I love marabou jigs. I tie my own from 1/32 to 1/4. Catch anything and everything on them. You’ll be surprised how many saltwater fish I catch on a 1/16 ounce jig. A 1/4 ounce marabou jig is one of my go to finesse lures for bass! Light line clear water. It gets chewed. From dead winter in the coldest of waters to summer time. It’s super natural. I have a video of a bass eating one of my jigs a in December. These jigs just work man. Super natural action and natural colors. When you pause the jig it will still move! I do a slow steady retrieve on bottom like bottom strolling. But will sometimes pause it. Super slow on bottom works great to. Just bouncing on bottom. Lot of things you can do with it

What's your water quality like? Clear or muddy?

Mostly in between but often on the clearer side of middle. Rarely on the very muddy side.

Great lure to give a newer fisherman. 1/4oz black, far cast, let it hit bottom and then a slow steady retrieve. Small mouth love it. I'd guess closest thing is a leech.

I also drift these in 1/8oz for river smallies and have caught a lot of trout on accident too.

I always keep them on hand. Use them in the same situation as I do a roadrunner. When I can't get the bass to bite anything else....I go small. (saltwater also)

I use flies if water is clear and I cant get bite when I am at the boat or drops hotting from the shore. sometimes float marabou but I never catch any on them yet(I didnt try so many times).
