Awesome ties man! That crawdad is amazing!!!

Hi Joe, Thanks a lot for your feedback. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@SirPraiseSun]

ahaha the little yellow perch was looking at him but he was a boss fight to deal with

[@hooks4nooks]

Good video footage... Great idea man... We all know they look good in a package at the store, but what they look like in the water is much more important. Nicely done. I like the Marabou. Thanks

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback, Garry. You are right. It's the underwater appearance that counts. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@julioortega559]

You dance them so beautifully

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Ha ha. Thanks Julio. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@smiffywildlife]

Boy, can you make those jigs dance, must be totally irresistible to any predatory fish that swims!! Thank you for sharing this. Phil 🇬🇧

[@mauricebrown9094]

The best video by far of what happens to lures underwater. Thank you pal..

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

And Thank you, Maurice for your feedback. More of this is in the pipeline. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@gregbelcamino7239]

Michael, as someone who's now tying a lot of flyrod jigs to fish as dead-drift or minimally activated baitfish imitations, I'd appreciate seeing some underwater video from moving water. Your videos are eye-opening for flyrodders who've always tied their streamers on standard fly hooks.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot Greg. Great to hear that that my videos are useful. More stuff will be produced during spring. Water is so damn cold right now ;0)

[@conraywest]

That crawfish one was awesome haha

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@hankvana2149]

Great video - I like to watch them under water to know how to fish/swim them best!! Marabou has such a nice action in the water but I have been looking for a hair/fur substitute, found that arctic fox is good for smaller jigs and been having excellent results with lambs wool (from "dust mops") for longer fibers. So far a bucktail core with a reverse tied lambs wool collar has been doing great for me - the smallmouth bass are quite enthusiastic about the orange & black color combination with all white and all black doing well also.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

I agree on the subs for marabou. Arctic fox is fabulous. I've used that a lot for small streamer flies as well. Hard to beat an all white or all black jig or streamer. Tight lines, Michael :0)

nice video the salamander and muskrat jigs are hella cool! its like a little snake/lizard

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks Raffael. Yeah, those sneaky fur strip jigs, are very convincing under water. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@tlchlc2090]

they look so happy

Top drawer - thanks for sharing. I've just got a selection of flies and jig-head flies - this was good to see before I get out with them and has given me a few ideas. Nice one. Thanks

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@jakefinn7905]

nice video man, if I could only have one lure for survival it would be a white Bucktail Jig...

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks Jake. You are absolutely right. A White Bucktail jig is a killer. All the best, Michael :0)

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Even in Michigan waters? I know the brown is good for almost anything but mainly small mouth bass...what color for walleye? (Excellent video wow! Great looking jigs!)

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

​@@hellosweetheart3350 Thanks for your comment. Sorry i missed it in the first place. Regarding colours for Walleye - I feel it depends on the food sources available to the fish in your waters - and the depth you will be fishing. Check out my blog on color, light and visibility on this link: ahrexhooks.com/2018/11/08/fly-colour-light-and-visibility/ Tight lines, Michael :0)

Any photos of the jig please ?

[@ship4427]

That salamander jig looked like a Dr. Seuss character

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Ha ha, yes i guess it does. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@shawneldridge9312]

i use a small size like a 1/32 oz hair jigs for trout, they really go nuts for them. i did not think trout would go after them but they did.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Cool feedback, Shawn. I agree. Small jigs are deadly for trout. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@kv9158]

Really great video! Thanks for taking the time to show us

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thank you for your feedback KV. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@axminsterz4151]

Keep hearing to expect the strike on the fall of the jig yet I’ve seen just as many fish hooked by retrieving the jig straight back in with no movement of the rod or change of retrieval speed.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

You are right about that. There is no wrong way to retrieve a jig. Experimenting with different methods of action, can save the day, though. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@genesloan3175]

Nice action and camera work!

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks a lot Gene. Cheers, Michael :0)

[@timothyroche6445]

Would those work for walleye ? Thanks good job on the video

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

Thanks Jerry, We don't have walleye around here, but i know a lot of guys are using these for walleye. We have Zander though (a close relative to the walleye) and they sure like hair jigs. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@shawneldridge9312]

always use a 1/32oz fish hawk wahoo popeye feather jigs and 6 pound test line. bought from bass pro shops.

Stocked Trout hit anything. You find rocks, leaves, and twigs in their stomached while cleaning.

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

You are right. Wild trout are a bit more finicky. Tight lines, Michael :0)

Micheal, any recipes those are really nice ties. Would like tie them

Hi Rudy. Thanks a lot. Check out the text under the film. There are links to tying SBS with tying recipes to most of the jigs in the film. Tight lines, Michael :0)

Hi, Michael did you sell this bucktails? I like it!!!

Hi Andro, sorry, I don't sell bucktail jigs. I just make videos on how you can make them yourself. Thanks for your interest, though. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@quantumaquatic1767]

It's no different then a fly fishermens streamer ! I've made me some shad ones today with white craft fur and 3 different flashbows cause one specific fly pattern I made with the same materials worked very well on speckled trout at night but it was very windy so I'm gonna purchase a spinner again and use the same thing but on a jig this time ! Cant wait to test it out especially on my favorite pier for spanish mackerel and other fish at night time that I couldnt hit up because of 20mph winds blowing my fly line back in my face

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

You are right. Any streamer pattern can be converted to jig hooks. Jigging is a super effective, not only on windy days - but also when fish are deep on the dropoffs - or when you need to fire a lure out to feeding predators in a hurry. Give it a shot, and let me know how you are doing with the jigs. Tight lines, Michael :0)

[@DCHZS]

Even the knot is invisible? 👀

[@MichaelJensensAngling]

You are right. Thats probably just ordinary monofilament on most of those jigs, but it is almost invisible. Cheers, Michael :0)
