Jim Kast Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Very cool, notice how the fish would bite it, then take it into it's mouth? Something to remember there! I may have to look into those little creatures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest One More Cast Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Fly Anglers have known this for years, ergo Craig Reindeau's Hairy Fodder. Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kend Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 From the page: Does it seem that the bass hold onto this longer? Watch the Video: Looks good on TV, but--- the rabbit hair jigs and spinnerbaits, have not done well. They were a hit when they were first introduced---some anglers reported negative results. (I have a video of the OEMS lures---as I said, it looks good on TV. They show you what they want you to see). Rubber legs jigs or spider jigs, are much more productive. I believe the living rubber, on the rubber legged jigs and Yamamotos Hulagrubs, have a more natural feel, in the fishes mouth. The rubber tentacles, move in the fishes mouth, when the fish moves his mouth muscles. (Stop by GAT, see Ken, for an in store demo). The smaller size objects, flys and streamers, with the rabbit hair/fur, are productive. Thin strips are better. Leech imitators, 2-3" sizes, as well as the Olive Zonker--- fished on a fly rod or drifted under a float, on long rod light action spinning gear. Can you say, "float-N-fur-fly"?

Mike Clifford Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah, I knew it was used in fly tying, but couldn't recall seeing it on jigs before, at least not in the stores. Then of course, I started wondering what exactly Jonn is using on his "float 'n fly". It does all come down to that first instinct. Well, we can probably assume the "first" instinct is movement? Smell comes into play somewhere in the process as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallieJonze Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I've got some rabbit hair jigs. They work just fine, too. Are they the best thing since sliced bread?... No. But, I've caught fish on them.
