Chicken Hair Jig
$1.00
Our spin on the popular “preacher jig,” this summertime favorite reels in some of the biggest bass we’ve seen out offshore rocks and ledges, hard bottom areas and above heavy grass in deep water!
The Chicken Hair Jig is a familiar style with a couple of very important twists. First, this hair jig has a synthetic at its base, giving the chicken jig bulk and a tantalizingly-slow fall rate. This feature allows you to launch this jig a mile and gives you the ability to cover a ton of water. Its incredible fall rate also allows you to fish slowly in “the juice” and keep the bait moving at a very slow pace. We named this hair jig the Chicken after its two long chicken feathers that run down the middle of the jig, which create a natural swimming action that perfectly imitates large baitfish.
The second feature that makes the Chicken Hair Jig so special is that it’s paired with the renowned “Goldeneye” style head and a stout 5/0 VMC heavy wire. Unlike preacher-stye jigs, however, the line tie on this model is at 30 degrees, keeping this bait level and running true for its bottom crawling action. The video below is a must-see for this jig!
