The action on the marabou jigs are irresistible to steelhead/browns and salmon. Great demonstration, Bill. Jig bite will only get better as the cold weather hits.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Adrian ✌️ the colder the better for jigs but not for my fingers 👍

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

[@kickinbass2228]

Thanks for the video Bill. I just started tying my own jigs. Very helpful.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

I'm taking my Thanksgiving trip to burt next week and will have to try some out there. Great video, as always. Hope to see you and your son on the water someday. Hope you and the family have a great holiday.

Thank you for your video. Cheers from Ontario

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks i appreciate it ✌️

[@willsworldoutdoors]

I tie the marabou the same way you do. I think it gives the jig a lot fuller profile in the water and a better action. Thanks for sharing.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

👍👍ya i think its worth the extra effort palmering the marabou feather

[@gfoster173]

I agree keep it simple. Those colors are money for me as well. Thanks Bill . Hope the recent rains spread some fish around so we can use some jigs soon.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks ✌️was up at Burt today - water was super clear still - need a bit more rain but maybe snow coming soon instead

[@gfoster173]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures man I hope so. Can’t wait for the winter fishing.

Great video Bill, good looking jig. TY

Just found your channel and have been watching some of your videos.Ok what I am about to say isn't meant to be derogatory in anyway.I tie alot of micro jigs and small streamers that i use for White and yellow perch my target species.However these jigs work on all types of panfish and trout.The point i am trying to make is the use of bait tipped onto the jig.I can understand that completely.In my experience there are times i simply won't catch perch unless I tip my jigs with a grass shrimp or a minnow.However there are times when these fish get charged up and no bait is necessary.I understand the purist theory of many anglers who refuse to use baits or scents.The purpose for this comment is when your go fishing the object is to catch fish and sometimes you have to do what it takes.Enjoy your content.Btw i can use a whip finish tool, but haven't mastered palmering feathers just yet.Once you master a whip finish tool it's like riding a bike.I have to admit it's an intimidating tool at first glance.Happy holidays.😂New subscriber.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man✌️ i dont see it as derogatory and a purist ill never be - more fish more fun to me 👍 happy holidays

[@joehawk9839]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures Happy Holidays as well. It's catching not fishing.Also fishing 🎣 isn't a spectator sport. Nothing worse than watching other people catch fish and your going crazy scratching your head, changes lures a thousand times trying to figure out what your doing wrong.

Awesome Video! Thanks for Sharing! The tools You need to do this?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️vise - thread bobbin - hackle pliers and sizzors

[@raybaby]

Interested in the Jig hook strength you are using. Unless I use hooks like Gamakatsu, Owner, 2x hooks we have problems with hooks bending especially in rivers with current like here in the Pacific Northwest. We have to use a little heavier line for the fresh ocean run fish in strong current and apply more pressure to land fish in many conditions which bends lots of regular jig hooks. Always looking to try another product for quality and value. Nice video thanks.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man✌️ they say the hooks are 3x - never had one break or bend even using them for king salmon heres a link for the jig heads - voodoocustomtackle.com/About-Us_ep_7.html

[@raybaby]

@BillMikesAnglingAdventures awesome I will check it out. I appreciate it.

[@Pwrcritter]

Nice video. What vise do u use? Ive had luck w tan, as well as the others.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️not sure had it for 35 years - probably need to upgrade

[@Pwrcritter]

@BillMikesAnglingAdventures Whatever works) I still use an old AA vise that my mentor gave me.

[@truenorthangler]

Hey Bill, you planning on fishing tomorrow (Sunday) before the Bills game? Might make a trip to fish an Erie trib or stick to Burt dam. Cayuga is probably the closest to me, fished it in town before below the dam and a bit downstream from there. Haven’t fished it any of the lower stretches. Trying to find a place where Michael can fish as well, somewhere where there is a deeper pools and slow current like in your last couple videos.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

im beat up from hittin the catt today we went 11 for 11 - i gave you some info on another comment reply of somewhere to maybe try

[@truenorthangler]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures Thanks for the information Bill, much appreciated. You can delete that comment so it’s just between us. Thanks again.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

good luck - catch a few big ones for me ✌️

[@truenorthangler]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures I will try Bill. Thanks again.

[@truenorthangler]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures One more question. I wanted to buy wax worms last time but Wes’s tackle store closed down and the one close to him by the boats was closed at 11am. Is there anywhere else in Olcott that I can buy them?

[@Steve-rr3gc]

Just found your channel. I would like to know if you’ve ever used those flies in Alaska for sockeye? I don’t know if you’ve been there to fish for sockeye, but there they “floss” aka attempt to snag the sockeye in the mouth. I’ve been there last two years and always thought about using a jig to get hook down on their level

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Not yet!

[@Flytyerman-ec6vq]

Hi Bill: a good video as usual. Question: Is that a 1/16 oz or a 1/8 oz jig you are tying? Thanks for all your videos. They are very helpful! Regards, Timothy.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌️that was the 1/16 oz

[@jasonwilliams7818]

Is that just fly tying string?? Thanks! Tight lines

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

yes white fly thread and white marabou feathers ✌️

[@kyongb786]

I notice that You are using 1/16oz jighead ...could you tell me what size is that hooks? Thank you very much !

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

hook size for 1/16 i believe is a 4

[@willx485]

If you don’t mind me asking where do you get your marabou?Thanks for your time. Hope you and your family had a good Christmas

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks and same to you ✌️been ordering from cabelas but sometimes you get a bad batch with crappy feathers

[@GabesFishing]

Do you sell these Jigs? If not you should sell them. I think you would make a killing on them! Great content as usual bud👊

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

[@bobhunter8992]

What color jig head are you using on the olive marabou jig?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i use both the olive 'granny smith' and the 24 k gold

[@HighHole]

Apply the head cement before wrapping the chenille.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

it seems to stay together

[@CarlosDiaz-yh1yd]
