Prompted by the statement "Just tied on a fresh one [marabou jig]" immediately followed by a cast, while the jig's marabou tail was still dry, Here's a tip i'm sure that SOMEbody out there will benefit from employing. Marabou does not express anything close to its maximum liveliness, until it gas become THOROUGHLY wetted. Just dropping it in the water does not achieve the desired effect, nor does even stroking the fibers with wet fingers. Instead use a wetting agent such as mud, spit, or even liquid dish soap to first wet and then alternately PRESS and roll the air out of the microbarbules, that otherwise deadens this material from flowing freely and responding to every tiny nuance of the current or other turbulence. Likewise, the natural tips of ordinary marabou thin abruptly, so for maximum effect (when tying your own flies and jigs) either use what's called "wooly bugger marabou", or tie the ordinary stuff in a bit long, then tear (do NOT trim with scissors, which absolutely kills the action) the excess off. This will likewise improve the effectiveness of this material. You'll know when marabou has been completely wetted, when you hold it in water cupped by the palm of your hand, and slightly go to animate the tail. Eventually such an untreated jig will become completely wet, but your first casts into an area are always your best shots. No point then, in wasting those initial opportunities to prompt a response, by after multiple unappealing presentations, negatively conditioning any fish present, to subsequently ignore this odd intruder. Finally, and especially when presenting jigs with a lift/drop presentation, take GREAT care to maintain a 'sticky sharp' hook. Even brand new hooks will dull very quickly after just a single hang-up on wood or rock, even multiple hook-ups take a toll. By carrying an ordinarily Revlon nail file on a lanyard hanging right next to your line nippers, routihely testing and touching up our hook points whenever needed, we WILL substantially increase the % of tugs that result in hook-ups guaranteed! Test your hooks by seeing whether or not you can draw the point across or along the lenggh of a thumb nail. If it slides or merely scrapes, it's not sticky sharp. Keeping one's hooks in prime condition is far and away the 'lowest hanging fruit' in all of fishing, but is very often simply overlooked. Drill or melt a hole in the nail file's handle add a snap swivel and place it on the very same lanyard ring that bears the line clipper to remind you to use it as often as need be. Pays HUGE dividends!
Love fishing marabou jigs as well. Mostly black in colour, usually stained water, clear water I use white. Very effective, I don’t pop it like you, I just twitch it to make it look like it’s wiggling. Usually use a bobber and float to suspend it . Great info and advice, left a big 👍from the North. Adrian
Oh cool! I'll have to try your method next time I'm out! When using the bobber do you try to suspend it just off the bottom? And then just give the line/bobber little switches? Thanks again for watching, love your content too!
Stop Fishing Start Catching I have a few videos from Burt Dam, you can see my set up. I usually run about 3 feet from Bobber to jig. Usually works best in slow water. Cast it out and kind of twitch it every so often, it’s deadly especially in colder month. I also like to tip it with a wax worm and helps me catch more fish during the cold months. Usually browns and steelhead but caught some big salmon as well on those marabou jigs.
Looks like you were on the South River in Waynesboro. Love that section. Lots of folks use this same method with a Trout Magnet. Give it a try some time. Tight lines! 🎣
Hey Greg! Yep, that's the spot. I live in Cville so it's just a short drive over the mountain! Awesome, thanks for the tip I'll have to give it a try! Have a good weekend!
Yea I use to only think the options for spin fishermen were rooster tails and powerbait. But I have to say I now think jigging is probably one of the best ways to go after trout! Hope you are able to get out there and do some fishing this weekend!
Hi, thanks for the video, I like this fishing method but here in Spain is not usual. I would like to know how to fish marabou jigs, do you need to move the marabou jig when it is into the water or it is enough if you leave the jig hanging of the bobber without any movement?
Hey man thanks for checking it out! So you can fish it under a bobber but I have more luck when I jig it up off the bottom. So I basically give the fishing pole a jerk which pops the lure up off the bottom and then let it fall...it's usually on the fall that you'll get a bite. And I just do that continuously until it's reeled in. It's a really good way to fish if you are targeting specific spots like slack water pockets or structure! Good luck!
Yea that would work. I think most important if the river is rippin is just finding that slack water. It'll still be there but it might be harder to find. But it can also work to your benefit because with the water up there will be less slack water than if it was lower so sometimes this will cause the fish to crowd up in the few places and you can actually have some of your best days when the river is up. That said decreased water clarity and just the high water may cause some disorientation in the fish which can make it a bit of a challenge. But good luck brotha!

So you're using crappie jigs for trout fishing? Were you aware that people have been fishing with crappie jigs since the 1940's, largely in the rivers in the Southern US? if you get frustrated with getting hung up, try fishing it with a slip-float, often called a 'float and fly.' You might find your catch rates go way up. A tip, instead of using one of those cheap clip-on bobbers, try using the large model of a Thill "Ice n' Fly' sold as a fly-fishing strike indicator.
Wow that's super cool, thanks for sharing Charles! In the 1940's were they mostly homemade lures? And thanks for the tip...I'm excited to give a slip-float a try, and I'll look for a Thill "ice n'fly"! Hope you are having a good weekend!
@@StopFishingStartCatching: No, they were bought in tackle shops or just stores in fishing areas. they might not be available outside of the early spring when the crappie were spawning, but they certainly were around. I remember back in the 60's people used to but whole cards of these lures. These links are to auctions on eBay, these aren't my items, don't know the sellers, and I'm not vouching for any of these, I'm just posting random items being sold - I searched 'crappie jigs Card' and there were over 70 results. www.ebay.com/itm/B-A-B-FLY-Jigs-2-Sport-Shop-Hang-Cards-2-color-variations-New-old-stock/173853398428?hash=item287a78559c:g:PywAAOSw-0xYfQMj. www.ebay.com/itm/Hal-Fly-Fishing-Jigs-Crappie-1-Card-of-12-Jigs-1GM-BR-Brown-Brown-Brown-19/182402783976?hash=item2a780d9ae8:g:DLQAAOSw241YZAt5. Crappie jigs are often sold on these hand cards and are sold even in these Wal-Mart days (that have run so many Mom-n'-Pop store out of business). To find the Thill floats, either look where the crappie tackle is sold or look in the fly-fishing section. As an additional benefit, even though the floats are not that heavy if you decide to try something lighter than the 1/16 oz. size (a good choice BTW) you can cast jigs such as the 1/32, 1/64, 1/80 even 1/128 oz.

I started using marabou jigs last year, and I love them.
Definitely one of my favorite ways to catch trout now! Never knew there were so many versatile ways to go after them! Have a good weekend brotha!

What do you do if the river is high and ripping? Heavier jig?
Yea that would work. I think most important if the river is rippin is just finding that slack water. It'll still be there but it might be harder to find. But it can also work to your benefit because with the water up there will be less slack water than if it was lower so sometimes this will cause the fish to crowd up in the few places and you can actually have some of your best days when the river is up.
