Vanfook Feather Jigs: The Leech That Gets Bit
If you’re into finesse trout fishing, or just want to add something different to your kit, the Vanfook Feather Jig Leech series deserves a spot in your box.
We offer jigs in 1.2g, 1.8g, and 2.0g sizes, which blend streamer-style visuals with the castability and control of a finesse jig. Whether you're working slow water or covering current seams, the Leech lineup offers something deadly at every weight.
Feather, Flash, and Flow: What Makes Them Work
Each Leech model brings something unique to the table:
- 1.2g & 1.8g Leech – These jigs feature natural feathers and the subtle shimmer of genuine abalone. The result is a slow-sinking, highly visible lure that triggers trout in clear water.
- 2.0g Rabbit Leech – Built with rabbit zonker strips, fine rubber legs, and marabou tails, this version trades flash for motion. The rabbit breathes and pulses with every twitch or fall—making it look alive in the water.
Note: All models are tied on barbless hooks with a large eye for easy snap attachment. Also, their large hook eyes are aligned properly to operate as a dressed hook for spinners.
Weight and Presentation Options
- 1.2g – Perfect for stillwater or close-range pocket water. Soft, subtle entry with gentle sink.
- 1.8g – A versatile option for all-around use. Balanced well for BFS and UL spinning setups.
- 2.0g Rabbit Leech – Slightly more sink and easy to cast. Great for a slow retrieve at mid-depth or for beginners learning control and rhythm.
How to Fish Them
You don’t need a fancy technique — these jigs do the work:
- Slow retrieve — The feathered models excel here, producing a streamer-like motion.
- Fall-and-lift — Great with the 1.8g or 2.0g versions for a rise-and-drift presentation.
- Just let it sink, then creep it in — Especially with the Rabbit Leech, the movement is built-in.
Final Thoughts
Vanfook’s Leech series is a fresh take on the classic feather jig — crossing into streamer territory with Japanese finesse and precision. Whether you prefer the abalone flash of the 1.2g and 1.8g, or the lifelike motion of the Rabbit Leech 2.0g, these jigs give trout something they don’t see every day.
They’re simple to use, cast easily, and get bit hard. Add one to your lineup and see why they’re quickly becoming a go-to for serious finesse anglers.
