Do any of you use the pony head jig for trout fishing , if so do you use hair or plastic , Trout like the spinner blades but do they like them on jigs.
After 15 yrs of trout fishing trying mini cranks, bladed jigs, metal slabs, soft plastics including Gulp, and tied jigs I think the above mentioned 1/16 jig could be the "if you could pick just one lure" best choice.
I'm in MT. For the weight of heads usually as light as I can get away with on lakes, for rivers the heavier wobble head seems best. I most often use cheaper eagle claw hooks. I seem to get them back more if I snag up. Usually size 1/0 or 2/0.Jm, where are you located? What weight heads and what size hooks? Preferred hook brand & style?
I haven't tried blue flash but thinking about it that might mimic dragonflies, bluebottles, & certain minnows.
Wow, those are some big hook long tie(?) jigs you use for trout. Mine are #6 & #4 and only an inch long including the mink fur tie.
What weight wobble head do you prefer in rivers? Been taking advantage of the mild Winter?
