Hair Jigs for Winter Bass

One of the oldest bass fishing lures around is the good ole hair jig. 

Over the years numerous versions of hair jigs, ranging from micro jigs used for float n fly rigs to large bucktail versions employed when probing ledges for summer bass, have been developed to catch bass under a variety of conditions.


Despite the wide range of jigs available, traditional hair jigs in sizes from 1/16th to 1/4 oz with full bodies tied using either deer, bear, rabbit, fox fur; marabou or modern synthetics excel when chasing bass in the late winter through pre-spawn period.

Take a few moments and listen to bass pro Mike "Ike" Ianconelli give his thoughts on hair jig fishing for cold water bass...


My favorite hair jigs include an 1/8 oz minnow-style head in either black, brown, perch or shiner patterns.

What's your favorite?
