On The Water: Ice Fishing with Hair Jigs for Panfish
Hair jigs, initially created in the 1950s, have gained popularity among ice anglers, particularly for panfish. Their effectiveness lies in mimicking the diet of panfish, which primarily consists of zooplankton and aquatic insects during winter months.
Using hair jigs can enhance catch rates, especially when combined with the right tackle and techniques. Anglers are encouraged to experiment with various jigging methods and consider tying their own jigs to match local forage. This winter, trying hair jigs could lead to better fishing results.
