Hair jigs are most notably useful for crappie in the coldest of waters, but they’re quite effective all year long, and for the best of reasons: they attract attention from the most finicky of freshwater fish no matter what.
When water temperatures are low, crappie anglers face an added challenge from an already-finicky fish. A lure that breathes its way through the water, rather than pushing, makes its attraction and value most clearly known at such times.
