How to use a Hair Jig to catch monster Bass! Big bass love the Hair Jigs.

[@mikelp8265]

I’ve been tying my buck tail jigs since the 80’s . I use brown and black / blue, I’ve added a little flash to them. Great action. Great Topic.

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Great vid! I got my PB on a homemade Bucktail Jig. I also catch a ton of pike on it along with both types of bass and walleye! 1/4 3/8 and 1/8 all work well for me. So versatile and can be used in shallow water like creeks too.

[@WilliamRockseo]

Amazing tips, thank you I have been tying crappie jigs and bass jigs for a year now, and I can't wait to try these patterns. I'm looking forward to making the drop shot rig next. I just started tying on treble hooks

[@dougmarshall2684]

After being a bass Marshall 2021 Lake Champlain NY . The top ten had hair jigs on there deck .Fished with a Johnston Brother Incredible trip of a life time for a river rat like me .Fished the upper Potomac yesterday 40 degree water temp . Caught a Nice fish can not what to get back out with this advice and what I learned in NY. Love your Channel .

[@shawnborn2433]

My grandfather tied many maribou jigs, mostly black, I'm hoping to get back down to North East MD soon.

[@donholden3825]

Thanks for info, I have some but don't really use. Now, I will tie them on.

[@angleratlarge6787]

Great video. I have been using hair jigs for years for smallmouth in clear water. I have always kept it a secret!

[@dixiefishin2956]

I tie my own jigs as well. Did very well last week here in Massachusetts on my hair jigs. 1/4 ounce freestyle ball head with a rabbit zonker trailer and marabou body. Pond we 75% frozen. Slow twitch steady slow reel above the living grass. 5 largemout 5 pickerel in 1.5 hour trip. Haven’t gotten a chance to get on some smallies to Test out my jigs. But the largemouth love them

Thanks for watching!

Great video, Andy's custom bucktail all year long!

[@jamestarzia79]

Best Hair Jig video! You're the man!

[@70chvlSS]

Great topic! Love using the finesse hair for smallies here in Arkansas.

[@matthewkeen9072]

Great video!! I tie bear hair jigs for smallmouth. If you get some northern black bear or a brown phase black bear hair with the long guard hairs and the long under fur you will never use marabou or bucktail again!!

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Would love to try that!!

[@vincentcarrube4494]

I listened to you and spoke with you on Saturday at the Suffern, NY show. I just wanted to say thanks for the information and for answering my questions. I just subscribed to the channel. This is a great video...can't wait to watch all previous videos and all of the new ones to come. I definitely look forward to doing some hair jigging at Lake George and Lake Wallenpaupack this spring.

[@rattz6374]

Badass closeup demos. Badass selection on that table. Thanks man. Ps: that wall behind you is so cool that you don’t need those 3 prints. No match. Ps: drop shot reco is top notch 👌🏻 ps2: look at the rigs used for snook In Nokomis, FL. I know the weight is excessive, but that flasher… I always thought of but never tried incorporating… let us know your thoughts ✌️

[@walterrobinson2123]

Thank you for the information. Never tried the hair jigs but I will now

[@Alcopolic]

Interesting video. I never tried hair jigs for bass but I had a lot of success using them for river walleye

[@Choffa09]

As always great info Travis! Definitely looking forward to fishing it on a dropshot

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Good luck!

[@garylee1544]

A couple years ago I started using Bass Streamer Flies on a drop shot rig. Excellent Video's! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@crickett17847]

Awesome video I’ve been fishing for years but never really used the hair jig. So thanks for the pointers

[@ZGADOW]

Fly fishing is where it's at, if you are throwing small lightly weighted or unweighted feather/hair type lures. you should try it if you enjoy hair jigs so much. Fly fishing allows you to have more control over how you move your hair jig and helps you feel every little bump. It's not hard to learn like most people think, It's actually pretty easy.

[@natscorm3009]

Gonna tie some up try them out before freeze up , thanks I know it’s gonna work!!! Thanks

[@ericb37]

I use hair jigs for stripers. Like you said I'll put on a piece of Uncle Josh pork as a trailer and it's like the next best thing to live bait. The only thing is I like to move my bait a little faster, almost like a swim jig.

[@fish4kbcf]

Drifting or “towing” the hair jig at .8 to 1.3 mph over reefs is a great way to find them. Good stuff here.

[@darrellbowen1582]

Awesome video and Very informative ! I love to catch smallies.

[@mistermatsuda]

Those jigs would work well in saltwater too. I know bonefish love them. I just purchased some marabou to make bonefish jigs with them. I've used the dropshot technique with synthetic flies and that works good but I'm hoping the marabou will give it more action.

[@BassManStrikes]

Doesn't have to be a spinning rod and reel you can easily cast these with a BFS baitcaster setup. I don't use spinning gear anymore it works so good 😀

[@chachmorales41]

Travis, awesome video it was an eye opener. U mention that u would create how to video next time. I would like to see and learn how you hand tie a hair jig (marabou or synthetic hair) for large mouth bass. Thks Chach

[@midwestprankster3298]

Really enjoy your videos. Lots of details that actually apply to my fishing, about to start using some hair jigs now lol

[@scottmehringer3914]

Thanks for tip. I haven’t tried A hair jig. Can’t wait to try it!

[@tonydavila2606]

Woah that’s super light gear, I run on a 7”2 fenwick hmg medium fast, used to run 15lb braid on 12lb flouro, bc I was concerned about the musky in my area and the tons of snags in the river. I went down to 10lb braid and 8lb seaguar. 5lb braid seam like I would brake off on a hook set haha. But it sounds like a super fun set up!!

[@Hunter14]

Good stuff buddy , very thorough. Gonna try this today!

[@SmallmouthCrush]

Thank you!

[@Hunter14]

SmallmouthCrush I did try it yesterday then, took my boat out on the Susquehanna River. Had a few black hair jigs that I never used, ended up with 4 smallmouth in about 2 hours, that’s about 4x better then I normally do lol, thanks again !

[@caseymorganthaler4735]

[@clarenceolson4111]

Love my black hair jigs and once in a while White works.

[@aarono7026]

Uncle Josh small pork frog- black! On a 1/16 oz marabou jig- black!

[@andrewbilotta6735]

I love the hair jigs, where can I get the black football jig with marabou hair for Largemouth ?

[@fred1frs]

Great info. I tie my own jigs with marabou, bucktail, craft fur, arctic fox, etc. I also fly fish shallow for bass. Drop shot marabou sounds fun for deeper water. What size hook to use? 4,2,1, or what.

[@BrazilianHashMan]

Fred Smith Idk, but I think a strait shank mustad size 2 dropshot hook and craft fur is all ya need

[@neilavellino905]

Travis live your channel. Awesome content. How slow do you have to reel that 1/8 ounce to keep near bottom. Also do you ever recommend using heavier for deeper fish?

Not sure about tungsten hair, that would be nice to try though

Travis. I just found your KZbin page. Great stuff. What rod would you recommend for the 1/16 hair jigs? Thanks.

[@mandogfish7418]

Mr. SMC, what ya think of the, St Croix Legend Tournament LBS86MLXF - Hair Jig & Drop Shot Rod?

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

Travis, you forgot to add the mentioned links in the description below for the hair jig links you mentioned in this video. Also, have you ever used these for bedding bass?

[@scottsimmons9549]

Great vid, SMC. Thanks for sharing.

I get similar results with a black zman TRD aka yoga pants on 3/32 EWG gap jig.

[@michaelmaloney2346]

I believe dark finesse jigs resemble tadpoles.

[@fishingwithgoby1998]

Ive been using shimano Intenza 7 6 light extra fast action. Does amazing for 1/8 oz hair guys

[@carlalemmon3414]

Any update on the Drop Shot Hair availability? I would love to have a couple of these.

[@SmallmouthCrush]

At this time the tackle store that I wa talking to about doing this hasn't really reached out to me to move forward on it. Your best bet at this time is find a small company that can hand tie some marabou jigs and ask them if they could tie some on a drop shot hook for you. Maybe send them the drop shot hooks you prefer and have them tie it on. If i hear anything different I will be posting to this video in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@luisbatista9686]

thanks for the info

[@johnschroeder6407]

I've never really thrown a hair jig but have always thought it should catch fish

[@j.bowerman6530]

I have been whack'n them on hair for years. The drop shot hair jig/fly is deadly. A little East Tennessee SECRET I have tied and fished for 5-6 years.....apply some Punisher fish dope or KVD Fish Stix to the drop shot fly during the winter like we do with the Float-N-Fly and watch what happens. I tie a 1oz. jig for summer that is 7-8 inches long that looks just like a live shad with the profile and it's $$. You and I need to talk hair.

[@angleratlarge6787]

How about the link to the drop shot jig you mention in your video?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

We are still working on the Drop Shot Hair........I will post a link in this video as soon as it is ready! (should be this month)

[@fi7-t6p0SNAPPL.E]

cant seem to find these anywhere, are they available yet?

[@brettchristenson2583]

Travis any update on the maribou drop shot?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

No update on the Maribou Drop Shot....I spoke with a tackle shop who seemed interested in making these but they never got back to me on it. I just have some friends make them for m now. I will post if I find a place that ties them and sells them to the general public.

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@williambonk380]

Very deadly on lake Champlain - you can definitely have a great time with the small mouth.
