Questions and answers
What is the Hawken Woolly Bugger Jig?
It takes the classic Woolly Bugger fly pattern and builds it onto a jig head for float fishing, vertical jigging, and river drifts. The marabou tail and hackle-wrapped body breathe and pulse on every pause and drop, imitating the aquatic prey that trout and steelhead feed on.
What fish does it catch?
It is built for trout and steelhead, and Hawken notes it also takes salmon and bass. The breathing marabou and hackle action covers a wide range of forage, so it produces across the varying river and lake conditions where a stiff, static fly falls short.
What colors does it come in?
It comes in 5 proven patterns: Black Head and Olive, Black Head and Black Pink Body, Pearl Head and Red Black Body, All Black, and Cerise Head with Purple Body. Fluorescent and UV pigments help fish find the jig in stained water and low light.
How do I fish it?
Fish it under a float, drift it through river seams, or jig it vertically. On the drop and pause the marabou and hackle pulse on their own, so a slow, twitchy presentation usually outfishes constant motion. The custom Gamakatsu hook holds up through repeated strikes.
What float should I fish it under?
Suspend it beneath a Hawken Aero-Float, a handcrafted slip float. Set the float to your target depth and let the jig hang in the strike zone, where its marabou keeps breathing even at rest. That pairing is ideal for steelhead and trout holding in slower river water.
