What kind of tier are you?

Tie jigs for trout, and target mostly wild native trout. Looking forward to this fall and will be tying up more jigs soon.

Great idea to slow the fall of a jig. When I want to slow the fall of a jig I add a hackle collar, or even rubber legs. Everybody loves those wiggly legs.

Beautiful fish.

Are the trout jigs a lot different from crappie jigs?

No but it's a wild trout so I was pleased with it. Should have just posted wild trout.

Here's a native wild trout on a jig:

Catching a trout is on my bucket list when I retire. Very nice picture.

It depends. Trout will most certainly hit crappie jigs, sometimes I fish crappie tubes in snaggy areas since they are low in cost.

Trout jigs can vary widely, the skys the limit. I prefer a bulkier jig with collars for trout from 1/32oz up to 1/4oz.
