Description

Have you ever had trouble catching fish during a Mayfly hatch? Maybe this will help! It’s definitely a finesse jig. I have two sizes, the first is a 1/16 oz on a #2 hook that you can throw with light spinning gear. The other is 1/32 oz on a #4 hook, this is best used with ultra light gear or for fly rodders. I have chosen the color to best mimic the “Mayfly.” The hooks are Mustad’s Premium Ultra Point Black Nickel Finish.

Field Notes

A tiny finesse jig designed to imitate a mayfly hatch, especially when fish are keyed in on small insects. Best fished with light spinning gear or ultra-light tackle, and it can also be used by fly rodders in calm, precise presentations.

Pros

  • Very small profile for selective fish
  • Good match for mayfly hatches
  • Works on light or ultra-light gear

Cons

  • Too small for many standard bass presentations
  • Limited usefulness outside hatch conditions
