zonker jig

[mr blizzard]

Apparently it is fairly new and is very effective on lake trout. Any information would help all laker fans. Thanks.

as roy said.And a little pricey too.just my 2cnts worth thats all.

a zonker is a popular fly pattern...zonker jig is a just a zonker tied on a jig head....super easy to tie your own if you've tied any flies before...if not very easy to learn....or find a local fly tier, bring him your favourite jig head and pay to have a few tied.

I'll bet Spiel could tie some wicked zonker jigs.

Yes he certainly could, Mike. To me, a zonker is a Dahlberg with a lead head.

Relax. It's a jig head with hair on it. Lakers are dumb fish that hit anything that looks remotely close to a minnow.

1/4 and 3/8 oz white maribou jigs have been a northern Ontario stable for lakers for well before I started fishing. For the oldtimers on Temagami no outing would be complete without a few of these in the tackle box. I can date back to when I was 19 (in 1983) on my first backwoods ice fishing trip in temagami and all of us where rigged with white or chartruese maribou jigs. Most were full body but we did have those crappie styles too with the chenille wrapped boddies. I tied them for a while with all kinds of variations. Best were ones with tinsel and flashibou mixed in.

 

for those that custom tie jigs many of the most popular streamer flies make it into very good patterns on a jig head. Before I sold all my stuff used to tie all kinds of walleye jigs in these patterns for Quinte

 

Mickey Finns

Grey Ghosts

Muddlers

Rabbit strip Zonkers

Wooly Buggers

and even Dahlberg deer hair bodies and whitlock sculpins.

 

Well tied hand made jigs are always worth a bit more than the mass produced with cheap thread and hooks. Give them a shot if you haven't already.

The Zonker Fly has been around for over three decades. Google, Dan Byford

As with any fly pattern it comes in as many variations as there are tyers.

 

Whether it be on a fly hook ar a jig head it's been a time tested winner.

 

Now if you'll excuse me I think I should get over to my vise.
