I dont tie my own jigs now, but the cost is starting to get up there for hair jigs and they could probably be tied alot cheaper buying bulk heads at a place like rogers and tying them myself. I may go that route eventually.

Close enough to a jig for me. ![]() In fact I used to make headless jigs, marabou feathers on a #12 or 14 hook, in black and yellow for my dad. He would work them with a short flick of the end of his fly rod and taking up a handful of slack. That gave off the appearance of an escaping minnow and he could pull fish from all sorts of cover with them. |

Great choices for go-to lures. Heh, what i wouldnt give to have mine that age again... i'd always set'em up with something similar, but they'd both see me actively casting & decide 'hey! this bobber stuffs a drag!', so of course i'd always set them up & then spend the day pulling hooks out of bushes & trees ahaha. Wouldnt trade those days for anything. |

I seriously thought this said "The fisting thread" at first.
I'm a creep, apparently. |

Jigs=
I do an epoxy head fly called a jiggy for white bass. It's pretty much a jig. http://www.saltwaterflies.com/jiggy_fly.html |

If you’re fishing in the current you’re pretty much wasting time. The fish aren’t out in the current unless they’re moving somewhere else. Otherwise they’re in the slow spots where they don’t have to fight the current. Look for creek mouth that feeds the river, eddies around bends, if there’s a log jam fish on the down stream side of that, anywhere that the water is swirling or moving slow. That’s where the fish will be stacked up when the river is up and rolling. |

No problem, glad to help.
![]() Besides I’d like to see a lot more people get involved in river fishing. We’re gradually losing access to what were once public water ways and the only thing that will stop the complete shut down of all access is enthusiast voicing their opinions. |

it is fun, but not for those easly spooked or cant swim worth shit. I went with a guy and he aint much of an outdoorsman but he can sure kickass at -insert gaming system here-.
went late last year and in about 2 hours i had about 8-10# of crawdads in my bag and he had about 5# of rocks. He was kickin around so much that a few times i thought he might drown. But it coulda been the kickin chicken just the same.... |
