The Classic Bucktail jig – hair jig tying

Nothing really beats the Bucktail Jig for classic vibe and pure fish catching effectiveness. The flow of natural bucktail will lure fish year round. If I had to restrict myself to one lure for a whole season… fishing for a variety of species – I would choose the Bucktail Jig. Check out the underwater footage […]

Chartreuse Bunny Jig – hair jig tying

With underwater film clips and full tying sbs. Combining a heavy jighead with a long and spineless strip of rabbit fur gives a sick swimming action. I tie The Chartreuse Bunny Jig on a wide range of head styles and weights and use it for perch, trout, zander and pike. Read a blog on zonker […]

7 reasons why you need bucktail jigs

Why you need bucktail jigs? Well, I am a lure freak, and I love fishing spinner baits, spoons, jerkbaits, crankbaits and any other kinds of lures. I guess you feel the same way. But say, one day a large troll came crashing out from the woods and said. “Ok dude, you can use one lure […]

Tying and Fishing bucktail jigs

Being a fly tier and fly fisherman… as well as a spin fisherman – I like to tie and fish hair jigs. They will catch just about any predator swimming in fresh- or saltwater, and they are plain fun to fish. Besides… if you don’t overcomplicate things, they are tied in no time. And… sure… […]

Black Friday Theme

Today we turn to the dark side. A famous Danish salmon fisherman once said: Colour doesn’t matter – as long as it’s black. He was talking about fly colour and salmon fishing, but the saying applies to most kind of lures and lots of species. Some people will tell you, that orange is the new […]

Opening day – for teeth

Today is May the 1st, and in Denmark this is the opening day for pike fishing after the breeding in April. As most everyone else, we are in quarantine. Around here quarantine means to stay home from work, and since I’ve worked from my home the last 4 decades, that’s just business as usual. We […]

Spy Project – Spin Fly system for predator fishing

The last couple of years I’ve had great success fishing hair jigs. Anything from the good old classic bucktail jig to more elaborate rabbit strip jigs and some with a lot of flash and rubber legs as well. For me, the lively materials in many fishing situations seem to outfish more solid lures like jerkbaits, […]

Go big… or go home :0)

This week I had a trip up to my friend Thomas Wæver to fish his favourite lake for large northern pike. I left the home in the middle of the night (normally I’m not an early bird), and drove north through a frosty white landscape. It was a beautiful morning, and when I arrived, the […]

The game is on!

After a long warm and pretty boring winter, spring finally hit Denmark this last week. And in different tempo, working its way from south to north, the miracle is happening all over the Northern Hemisphere in the coming months. Just about everywhere in salt- and in freshwater things start happening. Water temperatures are rising and […]
