Several years ago I talked to one of the "regulars" that was fishing the north marina. I think he used a balsa wood type bobber and he had spray painted the top black color. He said he could see that easier against the water and reflections. He showed us the jigs he had made and had good hits on. They reminded me a lot of the jigs you make with hair tied right behind the head and loose and flowing out to the end of the hook. We asked if we could buy some and he agreed. Some were Captain America colored with red, white, and blue hair, but he said the best ones were the yellow and orange colors. The material he used looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out what it was, so I asked him. It was Troll doll hair! He worked at the Deseret Industries store in Ogden, and was always on the lookout for donated Troll dolls coming in. He would buy them and use the hair to tie his jigs, so Pat, there is new one you may not have tried. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to seek out Troll dolls and experiment with it! He claimed it made the most effective jigs he used. Hey, anyone out there got any old troll dolls we can steal from your kids and send to Pat? Acey
