Description

Looks familiar—until it smokes everything else. Hair jigs are nothing new. But the Chicken isn’t here to fit in—it’s here to take over. We built it on a different blueprint, starting with a synthetic underlayer that adds bulk, slows the fall, and lets you launch it a mile . That means you can bomb it across points, flats, and breaklines, then fish it slow through “the juice” without ever speeding up your retrieve. And those feathers? Yeah, we went literal. Two long chicken feathers run straight down the middle, pulsing and swimming with a life-like kick that screams “big baitfish.” If you think hair is just for finesse, think again. Then we matched it with our proven Goldeneye-style head, a beefy 5/0 VMC heavy wire hook, and a 30-degree line tie for a level, true-running profile. It’s preacher-style inspired—but evolved for the anglers who don’t settle. Cast it farther. Fish it slower. Stick 'em deeper. The Chicken isn’t a nod to tradition. It’s a better breed entirely.

Field Notes

This is a hair jig built to be cast long and fished slowly around points, flats, and breaklines. The bulky synthetic underlayer and feather dressing suggest a subtle, pulsing presentation that works well when fish want an easy meal and you want to keep the bait in the strike zone longer.

Pros

  • Long-casting profile
  • Slow-falling, fishable at a crawl
  • Life-like feather movement
  • Heavy-wire hook for bigger fish

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish want a fast, aggressive retrieve
  • Hair can be less durable than hard baits
