One of the first years I went to Canada fishing (1960s)we took a guide he took my bucktail jig and cut the hair off of it. He said '' You don't need that crap on up here''. I haven't used it since.

When you are tipping with a minnow, it is hard to know if it is the minnow or the jig pattern that is being effective, in comparison to jig/minnow only. I have used hair jigs/ minnows a few times while buddy was using plain jig/ minnow and we were about the same catch rate. When I fish without minnows and he is fishing minnows, my catch rate is about 1 for every 2 he is catching. When action is good why keep baiting up.
I like white with red hair streak or yellow for dirtier water, and for clear water a perch pattern that they seem to really like. When they have the tinsel flash in them, I find I am donating many of those to Northerns.

black crappie jigs
One of our group started using black/black crappie jigs especially for smallies and he was slaying them. Now he uses them for walleye frequently and does very well with them. He does not tip them. He is a very good fisherman, always catches the most but usually not the biggest. For me, I can't seem to get away from sunrise thumper jigs and a minnow. That's my go to.

4 years ago I absolutely smoked my wife in Canada using a white hair jig vs. Her favorite jig and minnow. This led to me buying many more for both of us to use.

Where we fish nothing works as good as a pink sparkle jig with pink and a little silver hair. Haven't used hair jigs in years but the last 2 and it's my go to jig. The other 2 that work very well are chartreuse-blue and peach sparkle.
