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. Sizes: 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, & 1/2 Price: $4.70 each All sizes of Scruffys with Feather Tails are used for All Game Fish Mustad’s Ultra-Point Black Nickel Hooks

Field Notes

This is a very slow-drop jig designed to hover and work down toward bottom without crashing into it. It’s a good choice when you want a subtle presentation for all game fish, especially around bottom-oriented feeding zones or when fish are pressured and want a softer fall.

Pros

  • Very slow, controlled drop
  • Soft, natural-looking hair profile
  • Foam-lined box helps protect the dressing

Cons

  • Not ideal when you need a fast bottom contact
  • Hair can be less durable than hard-bodied lures
