jigs and jigheads

Jigpro
 
I read the forum but haven,t posted anything until now. I would also like to hear more about tying and fishing jigs. My first try with a jig on a flyrod was fishing a store bought minifoo. I had some luck and progressed to tying jigs on 1/64 and 1/80th size jigs. They have worked on steel, sm bass, rockbass,crappie, and trout. I keep trying different tying materials. Most success has come on marabou, polar fiber,mohair and bucktail to name a few. Would like to see others reply to this topic.
 

For a couple of years my go to fly was a white marabou jig tipped with a maggot or 2. I tied them on about a 1/60 th ounce head or tied them like a clouser on a regular hook.  I would make them as long and as thick as I could using strung marabou, sometimes 3 or 4 inches long.

My favorite way to fish them was throw them out let them drift till the end of the run then be ready for the swing. I also like to just twitch/jerk them in the riffles. Kind of pull them forward then drop them back to water where I couldn't see the bottom.

So far this year I haven't used them as much as I haven't been lucky enough to find fish in the riffles on my couple of trips.
