Muad Dib Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 gonna start tieing some jigs for next coldwater period/prespawn and was wondering whats your favorite type of hair to use. I found a nice black squirrel tail in my fly fishing materials. How does that compare to say deer or rabbit etc. Well looking foward to hearing any opinions and post some hair jigs if you want too.

backwater4 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I dont tie, but do fish hair jigs a lot. I've found I like to fish deer hair the best. Maibou a close second and then rabbit and craft hair. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 craft hair Its better then deer, squirrel, etc imo. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Don't be afraid to try weird colors either. Smallmouth like strange combos like pink/purple, brown/purple etc.......Colors you normally would not use for largemouth..........Al Quote
Chris W Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I use the craft hair too. And Al is right about the weird colors. Bright Blue and Pink are my best two colors. Yellow is also very good. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted August 13, 2011 Super User Posted August 13, 2011 bear hair and llama hair Bear hair works the best for cold water I just wish I could get it in another color besides black. Allen Quote
