Hairyballs
I think you're looking for Hairball jigs, they were featured on a segment of OTW's TV show. They're tough to find, only a few shops carry them. I know Eastman's in Falmouth MA has them. They usually sell out pretty fast. They're made by a friend of mine, Capt. Eric Staplefeld, I don't think he sells them online. They're one of the best parachute-style jigs around. They have a double hook, which I've never seen on any other jigs. The big ones are perfect for wire-line. He makes them up to 8-ounces, I think.
I've also caught some nice bass vertical jigging them in areas with a lot of current.
He also makes smaller ones (3/8 oz) that are one of my all time favorites for albies/bonito. We troll them through the rips at a high speed (8-9 knots), which cuts down on the blues. Great lures. He has a new style coming out this year (crab hair-jig) that look pretty sweet, too.
Stop into Eastmans on your way to the Vineyard and load up on them.
