jhoffman Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Heres a few I have done recently, some on boss hooks some on siebert hooks/heads and some on regular eagle claw jig heads. I just started into jigs, I used to be a demonstration fly tier. 2 Quote
cadman Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Definitely some nice looking jigs. Keep it up Quote
jhoffman Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks for the encouragement. That jig in your avatar lives in my boxes too! Quote
Shewillbemine Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 You know, I'm really impressed with guys who do this kind of stuff. I didn't get much in the handiness/creativity department. I'm especially impressed with those who custom paint crankbaits. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 11, 2013 Super User Posted January 11, 2013 J, have you ever considered making jigs with a lot of strands on them like the Mop Head jigs? Big, fat, juicy jigs. Just wondering. Quote
jhoffman Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 I have been making a few, those were my very first jigs. Ive started doing color separation like actual prey. I tied one last night that had sixty strands of silicone and thirty strands of living rubber. Ive looked at the crankbait thing also, might try that some day, there are guys out there who do amazing paint work on cranks. When i first started fly tying about 9 years ago I bet I threw my first 500 flies either in the garbage or other peoples boxes because to me they werent what I was buying. The fact was though, they caught fish. Sure it takes time and patience to perfect things but this really isnt that hard. Hard is tying burned wings(made out of a feather) onto a size 20 hook. Quote
RyneB Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 what kind of head is that on the black/blue one. Looks similar to the Hack Attack head that i love. Do you pour that style Cadman? Quote
jhoffman Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Thats a boss bullet head http://fishingskirts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=82 The purple one is a siebert brush jig http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/brush-jig The bullet head by boss is called the grass head by siebert http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/grass-jig Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 22, 2013 Super User Posted January 22, 2013 The purple one is a siebert brush jighttp://www.siebertoutdoors.com/index.php/brush-jig Looks just like the Storm Series Roadwarrior. I modified the skirt with some additional glitter inside, but I don't know whether Mike is going to go with that or not. I'm glad your picture contrasts the purple that didn't come out so well in the Siebert Outdoors pics. Put a Rage Tail Lobster or Craw in June Bug on for the trailer and see what you think! Quote
jhoffman Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 I took my pic with a very nice canon camera and the macro setting on with the flash. Might have made a difference. Ill try out the rage recommendation. I built that jig mainly for fishing at night. Quote
