trackertxw175 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 deer or rabbit hair with a touch of fish dope or fishsticks scent but just on the bottom so the hair still moves when the jig don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunkerhunter1982 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wes if you are fishing Norris something with olive is hard to beat. My favorite is olive body, lil bit of orange on the back, and a brown strip on the belly. I throw a white one with a little light blue in the back a lot around baitfish as well. Sometimes plain black or brown is hard to beat. And I have some colors that we have dyed ourselves over the years, but unfortunately we can't get the dye anymore and I only throw te dozen or so I have left in tournaments. To be honest I have 2 boxes full of them in the boat fom November to April and usually at least 2 tied on at all times. I use deer, bear, arctic fox, and craft hair, but I use bucktail 95% of the time. I throw them on line from 4 to 8 lb test depending on water clarity and jig weight. And I throw jigs from 3/32 to 3/8, but 1/8 and 1/4 with 6 lb test will do about everything, depending on the depth the fish are at, the fish's attitude, and the wind. The best tip I could give you about hair jigs is just throw them. Slow down and fish the things. They work despite (or probably because of) their simplicity. The second best tip I can give you is if you are missing fish or not getting bites when you think you should, start trimming of hair. I have had some of my best days on jigs with 6 or 8 hairs left (literally). No idea why. The third best tip I have is to never let them have slack and always try to keep it falling. Generally just lift it gently off the bottom when it gets there, take up slack, and just let it sink. They are withouta doubt the best winter bait ever invented, and have produced numerous smallmouth and spots over 5 lbs and a a largemouth over 8 lbs for me. I will throw a silver buddy, but only when it is too windy for a hair jig, in which case I would just as soon go home. I will also use the bobber, but only in the rare instances when seemingly every fish in the lake is suspended. Other than that, I will take my chances with the ol "doll fly."
