Description

Scruffy is a very slow drop jig. It is, by design and type of hair used, intended to “find” the bottom rather than hit it. With Scruffy you can go up in weight for casting distance and control and not lose the slower drop. It looks like a little “mouse” in the water – very soft – something like marabou. NOTE: To keep him looking his best, each “Scruffy” is packed in its own foam-lined plastic box.

Field Notes

This is a very slow-dropping hair jig designed to hover and work down toward bottom rather than crash into it. It’s a good choice when fish are holding near the bottom or when you want a subtle, mouse-like profile with a soft fall. The listing suggests it can be cast for distance and control, then fished with a slow retrieve or controlled drop.

Pros

  • Very slow drop for a subtle presentation
  • Can be cast with added weight without losing the slow fall
  • Foam-lined box helps protect the hair and shape

Cons

  • Limited to 1/8 and 1/4 oz sizes
  • Specialized presentation may be less versatile than standard jigs
