I am going to be making some really large jigs, 3/8 to 1/2 ounce and 1.75 inches or so long. I know what to use from seeing the store bought ones but I want to know the easiest, decently durable and yes, as inexpensive as possible materials to use. The one pictured is all marabou with 2 strands of crystal flash, I think the black is marabou anyway, same feel and same flow. I have seen some with rabbit strips, (zonker?) some with hackle and chenille and many other materials. Action isn't as important in the material being faster water river fishing. Any and all thought are appreciated. I know the head is beat up on this one also but I will pick up anything and refurbish it as long as it isn't rusted or bent way out of shape. The black might be fake fur or rabbit but feels wrapped so if it is then it is a thin strip of either.
