I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I've been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I've qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Bucktail jigs have been catching fish for ages. They're a classic snook lure in Florida and if I could only have one lure for the salty stuff it would be a bucktail. They're deadly for flounder and lots of other species. I never thought about using them for bass but it makes sense.

[@MattStefanFishing]

great for bass!

Here one Chesapeake Bay my buddies have gone to casting swim baits Berkley Pogy, Tsunami Swim Shad, and Storm Swim Shad targeting striped bass using the retrieves you demonstrated. Thirty years ago we used hair jigs (we called 'em "bucktails").

I think the hair jig is the most underrated bait in bass fishing. It’s been a saltwater staple forever and in my opinion it better than a swim jig if fishing sparse grass or open water. I honestly think the Alabama shake was essentially the renamed technique of pumping a bucktail in saltwater.

I am dating myself but the first bass tournament I fished was in 1974 there were not a lot of jig dressing options back basically maribou and bucktail. I like a 90 deg. jig head also and in addition I tie a loop knot so that I know the jig is always running perpendicular to my line. There is a good video on Sunline America's web site I am sure there are a lot of ways to tie this simple knot

Its pretty crazy that large mouth bass fisherman are just starting to use bucktails (or hair-jigs). We been using these in northeast for at least a 100 years. This was the first lure i learned to use. Not only for bass but also bluefish, weakfish(seatrout) , black sea bass, fluke flounder, but more specifically Striped Bass. . . . I recommend andrus bucktailss because they actually use real buck tail hair(deer tail hair) which is extremely buoyant allowing the hair to breathe in the water. Also usually put some type of trailer on the back like otter tails curly tail trailers or any soft plastic on the back hook. . . . When you think about it Large Mouth has by far the most variety of baits available but a basic bucktail jig is a new concept(for 90 percent)

[@MattStefanFishing]

They work great

I have hair jigs but never throw them cause I wasn't sure how to use them besides little hair jigs on a bobber in extreme cold water in WV for smallmouth, like float & fly.

[@MattStefanFishing]

2nd retrieve is a good one

[@LowBrowFishing]

I'm tempted to go get a drone. But with my luck, I'll have it all of five minutes before I crash it into the water. That being said, I was able to buy a stack of hair jigs from a local outlet store for like 75¢ a piece. I don't get to fish with them much because the water is just too shallow, but when the fall rolls around and I can fish deeper water, I like to use them.

I disagree with the fast gear ratio. I think all these reels with very fast ratios are just marketing. I use a spinning reel for freshwater fishing with a 5.2 ratio. It's absolutely perfect. Not too slow, and not too fast. Years ago, back in 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, everyone caught fish on slower ratio reels. And the gear ratios on those reels from years ago were only maybe around 3.8-4.2. My surf fishing reel is a Penn 704 with a 3.8 ratio. a lower gear ratio gives the reel more power to bring in a big fish.
