Marabou jigs for winter Smallies. (spinning) I always use black, but with the number of baitfish I've seen, it seems like white should work. (1/8 and 1/32) The hook is left bare so that I can add a 3/8 inch segment of plastic worm on the hook. It's unseen but adds bulk.
A straight marabou jig is unbelievable in the water. Nothing looks more alive.

Messing around with my newly acquired pheasant skins from @mt_flyfisher. They are awesome skins - thanks, John!

I used two feathers off of the ****bird skin to spin up this proven Jack Gartside pattern - the Sparrow Nymph. This is a great pattern - natural materials, contrast, lots of movement. If I drift this bug past any fish - there is a real good chance that it will get eaten!
