Hair jigs are working right now and will get better as we get into January. I like really light weight finesse hair jigs. I like a hair jig Less than 3/8 oz black and chartreuse with a blue sapphire chunk as a trailer. Strange combo but it works like many others, Especially in clear water.

I can't remember where I got my hair jigs. I bought a 100 of them about year ago and I'm still using them . They were custom made. Rubber skirted jigs work great too. They make some great finesse jigs nowadays. I just like the hair jig for the winter time because it's fished sooooo slow that the hair on the jigs oscillates with just the littlest of movements and I think it gets more bites.

Fishtales in Cleveland has a big selection of colors and sizes.

Most of my hair jigs are custom made by friends. Seems like someone is always trying to make those things. I have one friend that collects deer and squirrel tails to make them out of, but I know a lot of people who stripe/white bass fish too.

i dont know the first thing about hair jigs! I NEVER leave my flipping jigs at home. 3/8s chompers for me. just plain ol brown with a green pumpkin chunk. or a zoom UV speed craw. i have a few white hair jigs, never thrown them though.

I go to Fish Tales a lot... first place I thought of when I asked that question. I've just never used the hair jigs before. Also what about weight difference? I notice some people recommend 1/2 to 3/4 oz some say 3/8...I know water depth plays a big role in this and a slow fall presentation. What do you say? emoBang

I only use 3/4 and 1 oz jigs for fishing deep and fast in the summer. The light-weight slow moving jigs are what I would use right now amongst other lures. I'm going to nickajack tomorrow and plan on using a really light shaky head with a finesse worm. I will bring some hair jigs along to see if the hair jig bite is on. Also, take note that there is 'always' more than one way to skin a cat. There are guys on hear that'll catch fish on anything at anytime. Especially if your in the right place at the right time.
