-Rattling Steelhead Jigs (Underwater Video)-

Postby hollywood on Tue Apr 13, 2010 2:10 am

I have been messing around with rabbit fur and other materials trying to blend them with UV and make it all come together nicely. I shot some video of two of the jigs underwater and it turned out pretty good.

Image

The video is a little blurry underwater but you can hear the loud clicking as the jig goes through the water. As a jig goes through a seam or riffle the water makes the jig move up and down ever so slightly and that causes the rattles to click back and forth. Our line of Vibra UV jigs were very popular during the coho season last year as well as winter steelhead this year. I am sure that in certain situations the rattles can help a lot.



Pretty cool huh and I bet John could even catch some of his favorite fish (bass) on one of these! =)) =)) :-BD

I struggle with the rattle. Please keep me posted on any field results you get. The jig looks great and it trails nicely. I am a big fan of tails half the length of the hook. I feel it gives the jig a leach effect and shows more action. It's great to be able to see a performance vid. I have filled the tub many times..............H ;)

I can say that I have caught steelhead seconds after twitching one of these jigs and have never had that happen with a regular jig. :D I also caught quit a few steelhead in pressured holes on the Vibra UV jigs after nothing else worked. Who knows for sure but the fish are not turned off by it. ;)

You can order them from the online store on the main site, but hurry, the orders are stacking up fast and these jigs are all tied to order.

I'm sure a black one tipped with a fathead would be pretty deadly on some eyes.

how long would it take to get some of these tied up? I looked on the online store and couldnt find how to order some rattling jigs. Aswell as some micro jigs.
