Donkey Tails & Mule Jigs by Mule Fishing Supply Co. | Product Review & Field Test

Mule Jigs have a few key features that help them stand out from the crowd.

First, the head design is rounded, but flat on the bottom. This is similar to the traditional “mushroomhead jigs” popularized by Gopher Tackle some 40 years ago. This allows the plastic to sit flush against the jighead. The hook shank is also on the shorter size – which is absolutely critical if you want to get the maximum amount of action out of your smaller plastics.

The shorter shank on the hook means less metal up in the trailer, allowing for a wilder kick back and forth – even at a slower retrieve speed. Watching a mean green sunfish track a tiny kicking swimbait, then deciding to swipe up and hammer it like a mini-muskie, is truly a sight to behold!

Donkey Tails are super stretchy and durable – which means they can be a pain in the butt to rig up until you get the hang of it. One quick tip is to get the bait started on the hook, then PULL the top part of the plastic up past the jighead and release – don’t try to PUSH it like a standard plastic (it won’t get past the keeper without bending it).

The lack of salt & scent is no problem because the Donkey Tail is a visual bait. It needs to be seen and felt in the water to get bit – which is why it pairs so well with the lightweight Mule Jigs and their shorter shank. Even in the smallest size, the little segments on the body, and the chunky paddletail coming off the slender rear portion kick out a ton of vibration.
