Hey C&D, as you probably know by now, marabou feathers aren't the only thing that catches fish on jighead hooks. From pink rubber worms to even using bait on them (including sandshrimp or their tails, crawfish tails, live nightcrawlers, and thread wrapped egg clusters), they work great. Access www.firstcastjigs.com and see the pics of Mark's nickle plated brass jigheads on Owner hooks; available on mail order. The extra flash of the chrome or brass colored heads he uses and the strength and sharpness of the Owner or optional Gami hooks make them great for any of these many uses.
