Walleye/Zander Jigging flies

Here are a few more Walleye/Zander/Pike-perch tube flies from my vise. The difference with these ones to the doubles I tie, Is these have a far stiffer tail made from trace wire and I use small treble hooks instead of a normal smaller single hook. A Black n White double was fished along side one of these also in the same colours, and this stiffer tailed version was definitely more productive. Whether it was the use of treble hooks or stiffer wire I'm not sure yet. Another batch has gone out for testing this weekend........I wait for feedback!


Walleye/Zander especially here in Finland seem to favour different colours of rubber jigs in different lakes or rivers. One of the great things about this design tied onto tubes instead of hooks, is that one can mix and match the tails so you can have a Black n White main body with a yellow and green tail depending on what colour the fish are more attracted to.


Yes they're a little on the heavier side due to the cone heads I've been using but you aren't casting these 70ft and are mainly used as a jigging fly over drop off points where shoals of fish are congregating. I've wet them here as well to show what their profile would be in the water, and as you can see the tail looks and acts just like a rubber jig would. Especially if tied with Raccoon fur.
