flu-flu jigs are not hair, but feathers.
Ok then what kinda feathers are they
They use hackle feathers on them
Just looking at their site some look like maybe marabou and some are hackle. It depends on which ones you had.
Notice they say feather jigs... Flu Flu America's Premier Hand Tied Ice Fishing Jig
Some of their kinds show one or more of each hackle and marabou, but seems their Walleye jigs look like marabou??
Not totally sure, but just going by their pictures. Agree most look like hackle except for a couple pictures that look like marabou.
Also it looks like they don't care what position their feathers are in and just have them positioned how ever. I usually position mine, but their way is easier so I don't see anything special there.
Here is one like I tie them. DSC03476.JPG
Road runner is making some really cool ones now. Called malibou 2.0
Check them out

Really it's only 2 colors of marabou and 2 color heads. It does look like they are using 2 color eyes so are they painted or glue on type? Looks like they don't make them in my size, but I paint my own anyway.Quote:

The Flu Flu ice jig isn't very different from a Popeye jig.
If you're looking for some to replace the ones you lost, I would contact Skip, or any of the guys who sell jigs on here, it should be simple to duplicate this jig. Plus....the quality would be superb on a hand-tied made by these folks.Quote:
