Thread: My Updated Christmas Jig

Nice jig, but stop with the Christmas thing! It’s mid April and still snowing in Ohio

We will be getting snow tonight, thru tomorrow morning too, ugh. That is really nice Skip, now go take it fishing.

Awesome looking like always love that color combination.

Did some like that, and also with Orange head. Been the MONEY jig lately. You were talking of this pattern some weeks ago. I listened. TY

Great work as alway!

Thank you guys! Yes I have used this color combo since about 1979 when I fist used it on a Roadrunner. So it's been fishing a lot and probably longer than it needs for testing purpose, lol! I figure 38-39 years testing is enough huh?

Christmas jig was just a name I gave it about 12 -14 years ago and really has nothing to do with Christmas time or winter, lol!

It's a Flame Red head and many think it's Orange, but Pro-Tec's Orange is Blaze Orange and while close to this, it's more Orange, lol!
The tail is a FL Yellow, but it's not my usual Hareline Neck Hackle. I like this shade better personally while I think most guys like the Hareline version more as it's more Yellow. I believe this shade comes from WAPSI or maybe from Cascade Crest? I have had these for a long time, years long so not sure where they can be had now, but I would try Crazy Angler or Barlow's Tackle. I say all that because of how much I like this more pale shade and after all it a Florescent color to it's gonna get seen!
