Description

I put it on a super sharp and strong flat eye hook with a black nickel finish; Mustad’s finest premium hook. Although the “Spring Bear” shouldn’t need a trailer, it does have a “cast” in keeper for those wanting to add their own enhancements to the jig. The supply of hair is very limited; get yours today!

Field Notes

This is a hair jig tied on a football head, suited for casting and bottom contact presentations. It’s a good choice when bass are feeding on crawfish or small baitfish and you want a subtle, natural profile. The limited hair and trailer keeper suggest it can be fished as-is or dressed with a trailer for extra bulk.

Pros

  • Natural hair profile with subtle movement
  • Football head is good for bottom contact
  • Can be fished plain or with a trailer

Cons

  • Hair can be less durable than plastic
  • Best use is more specialized than a standard jig
