I know this is c.c with basically panfish info, etc.
Does anyone tie hair jigs for the" larger" panfish (bass)? If not does someone know where I can get info and instructions for tying some hair jigs?
Thanks,

Hey pbug,
I was thinking of using bucktail. Do you use any other types of hair, fur? What does tighter and stronger mean? More glue , stronger thread ...
Do you have any pics of your jigs? Thanks for your quick reply...
Thanks,

When I tie bucktails for bigger fish I use more sally throughout the tie. Meaning I get to a point that I think it might get a lot of abuse and I hit the thread with some sally, or cement. Most of mine are thread collars and I use a generous amount of sally when complete, and add a second coat if it's a large tie to make it glossy and more resistant to the teeth. I sometimes add a little puff of maribou to the bottom to give the bass jigs a little extra action when working them real slow, like this time of year.
i use a very strong waxed thread and i seal the thread with glue when i tie buck tail jigs for strippers.
when making jigs for smallmouth bass. I make them the same as I do for crappie but they are just bigger.99% of my smallmouth bass are caught on crappie jigs. I would say 1/16oz. in our average size is around 2 pounds to 6 pounds yes on the little itty bitty jigs

I make a lot of kip tails jigs for crappie and some use them all year. Personally I started using them Pre-spawn until they first hit the banks. I never knew they worked so well when it's cold until I tried them last spring.
I also have a lot of colors of fox hair I tie for crappie. I would tie them for bass too, but I just don't get into the bass side, at least not yet.
