Tiller Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 What do you think? I was trying to make some bluegill and crawfish imitators. Quote
Will Wetline Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I like all of 'em, and the second one in particular. Quote
Ben 16 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 They look great, I love the third one, the glitter in it realy makes it pop. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted September 22, 2012 Super User Posted September 22, 2012 Love that bottom one, not to short change the others because they all look fantastic...Well done! How did you end up tying the skirts if you don't mind me asking? Quote

How did you end up tying the skirts if you don't mind me asking? I tied them with 24 gauge floral wire. It took a few to get the technique down but once I got the hang of it it was quick and easy.

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 23, 2012 Global Moderator Posted September 23, 2012 The third one would be a good bluegill or craw color. They all look very nice. It's pretty satisfying to catch fish on baits you made yourself. Good job! Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 23, 2012 Super User Posted September 23, 2012 Beautiful! What about rattles???? Quote
Tiller Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 Beautiful! What about rattles???? What are rattles? Haha....I started tying my own jigs to save money because I lose too man to pike and rattles would defeat that purpose along with not believing that a rattle could catch a fish that a jig without wouldn't. Tried them out today and caught a couple...not a bad day after waking up to 31 F degrees! Quote
Scorcher214 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I tie one that looks like the bottom color. Little bit of blue looks nice. Great job Quote
Skeeterman225 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Look good. Now just need to put on few teeth marks in the paint. Quote
Darkman Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I realy liked the 2nd one...all are nice..nothing beats catching fish except catching fish on a bait you made with your very own hands...good job homie Quote
Mumpy Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 100x better looking than my first Jig. I keep my first Jig handy to look at every now and then just to see how far I've come. I also like to show it to my friends and tell them what freaking LIARS They are! I remember the dang day I tied my first Jig, I showed it to my friends and they were all like "Man, That's a nice looking Jig" I promise you, if you saw this jig laying on the river bank you would pick it up and sling it as far as you could in the river. Freaking LIARS!!! nice looking jig, pffft Quote
River Rat316 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 LOL, I keep my first swim jig around just to remind me also, what a pos that thing was, it is amazing what practice does! Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted October 23, 2012 Super User Posted October 23, 2012 what mold did you use for the 1st 3rd and 4th. i keep fnd the football heads molds but i would like to get these ones you used.. Quote
Downeaster2010 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 what mold did you use for the 1st 3rd and 4th. i keep fnd the football heads molds but i would like to get these ones you used.. I have been tying jigs for over 25 years, and some of those look better than anything I ever put out. I also bought Do-it molds, back when they didn't have many different ones to choose from. We used to use fingernail paint, automotive paint in the small touch ups. They would catch fish just find, but never looked as good. I have a lot of molds but agree with Grizzn N Bassin, I too would like to pick up one of those molds and in the do-it catalog, the hooks don't look quite the same. Is it a Do-it mold. I would like one of these molds... Quote
RODNEY Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 You sure you haven't done this before? They look very nice and the proof is in the fish you caught. Rodney Quote
