Yes, George, I know, That's why I can't quite wrap my head around a small slug of floating Elaztech being so effective. I've always had great success with small hair/marabou jigs. If the rig can outfish them then I will set myself up. But don't want to waste my money on stuff that is being pretty aggressively marketed if my hand ties can do just as well. As a matter of fact, I've caught a lot of decent bass and pike on 1.5 t0 2" crappie tubes.

didn`t know what a ned rig was before I postet good results with tip up heads. They work very, very well with bucktail and rabbit, hardly ever snag and both cod and zander seem to apreciate the upright presentation. I feel no need to go buy elaztech.

Sorry for the double post. I'm not entirely new and was here as "smallmouth" until I forgot my log in details. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada and love to fish for bass, trout and walleye. I fish from kayak, canoe, float tube or inflatable pontoon boat. I've recently started to go out with my friend in his boat.
Been fishing jigs for a long time and have been using them with the flyrod after the frustration of trying to fit bead heads on a fly hook. The small jigs are very effective on the long rod. In my youth I used to tape an ultra-lite spinning reel to my flyrod. I've honed my skills with the flyrod to the point that the spinning reel is no longer necessary.
Glad to be aboard again!!!

Cabellas use to carry it then discontinued it. Before they discontinued it, I stocked up.
I haven't ordered from these guys, but this is the only place I know where it can be bought

If you remember Mr Jig - he used it all the time

My favorite mono as well. Don't know why Cabelas stopped carrying it. I worke there for awhile and it out sold other premium lines. I stocked up back then but now I'm almost out. Guess I'll be placing an overseas order pretty soon. I ordered the tip up and the 2017 finesse mold to play with this winter. Both should shine with bucktail since it floats. Curious about what was meant by sparse tie with the hair jigs in comparison to my ties. A picture would be nice for comparison.
Jim - for smallies in the winter a sparse tie is a couple strands of silicone and even less bucktail. Or an inch long tail of zonker and a wrap of crosscut by the head. An example would be something akin to what LedHed would post for chasing gills.
