Have you ever made any of the feather hair jigs being used for Bass fishing ?

I have tied all sorts of stuff. If you want to send me pictures. I might have the materials? I can send you my cell number if that makes it easier

Tato my assumption is you are talking about these? They are called out by several different names depending upon who is tying them and what they are targeting. To answer your question I have not yet.... my feathers are buried in another box of material. You have peaked my interest though, I will give it a shot. I've been tying mainly walleye and sauger jigs for a buddy of mine lately, but as mentioned I tie a little bit of everything.... from flies, to 1/64oz bluegill jigs, medium sizes for crappie, small mouth and large mouth, up to the bigger jigs for stripers, Mackerel and whatever in the Gulf is hungry. With the jigs listed here we have had success on large mouth and stripers in fresh water. Spanish mackerel, blue fish, lady fish, hardtail, and a few flounder.

Yep that looks just like the Cumberland model I just looked at Tackle Warehouse. They hit the Bass fishing market big time 2 years ago at Kentucky Lake. We got a trip planned back there Memorial Week to fish the Triton Owners Tournament.

I watched a few YouTube videos on them. Got my interest up. There is a fly called a Lefty's Deciever, I learned about a few months ago which looks to be tied in the same manner. Both have been around forever but the jigs seem to have made a huge resurgence in the recent years. I will let you know if I can figure it out.

What size hook and what weight head in pic #2?

Those two pictures came from Google. I was looking for something to answer Tato's questions. I haven't yet tied any of these particular styles. However, if I was guessing, I would say th he bottom picture with the ball jigs are probably 3/8 oz or 1/2oz which should be a 2/0 or 3/0 hook.

A smaller version would be not only possible but much easier. From what research I have done the jigs the bass guys are throwing are 3/8 to 1oz feather and hair swimbaits basically ranging 4.5 to 6 inches. The issue is you need white bucktail with hairs 5 inches plus and very large hackle feathers. I guy is going to dig through lots of materials to tie up jigs that big. I guess I need to shoot bigger bucks? :-)

If you tied some in 3/4-1oz they would be good for tailrace stripers here in Oklahoma. 1/2 oz is minimal for the casting distance needed.
