sean0920 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 i am thinking of trying this, but i have a question. the only hair jigs i can find are by punisher. the eyelet is on top of the head and i am wondering how this might work with a palomar knot and then the leader threaded back trough for the weight on the bottom. anybody tried the drop shot hair jig. seems like a good idea early season?

KevO Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 It would be easier if you used the hair jig as the weight on the bottom. Tie a palomar knot to a drop shot hook and use something else like a fluke or finesse worm, then add the hair jig as the weight. I don't think the rig would work correctly if you used two weights.

Matt 825 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I have done this with some success, especially on a tough day. You really need to tie your own hair jigs on the drop shot hooks. Actually its more like a flyfishing fly than a hair jig, since you do not need the weight on the hook. Or you could buy a few flies. Try a wolllybugger in Brown or Green. You will catch a lot of bait fish, but may get a big surprise also. Quote
