Since Everyone Is Showing There Nice Jigs.. Heres Mine

[JeziHogg]

I figured some people are showing there off season projects so here's mine. I ran out of my regular shakey head jigs I use for these, so I used everyones favorite. I normally don't use that much UV sealer on the end either so usually they don't turn that pale white color where the sealer is.

 

 

Anyway, I wish I could get a good quality image of how these look in the water, the thing comes to life. The claws and antennae float up on there own and catch the current really nicely giving them a natural look while they slowly move around. When you drag it or hop the jig back the legs fold into the body and pop back out when its stopped.

Those are sweet!

Thanks, forgot to mention that the midsection of the carapace has two glass rattles tied under the chenille to make it bulge out a little bit. Once I get my order of jigs, ill tie a couple more with the actual jig I use. The Shake2's make it look to bulky at the bottom.

Wow, very nice!

That's an inspired design - great idea to use  Zonker (rabbit) for the claws and, to my eye, the chenille for the body works well too. Thanks for sharing this.

I made something similar a couple years ago and slayed some monster smallies in cold water! Looks good

[inrll]

Wow those are impressive! You should absolutely slay the smallies on those man!

That's a neat jig. very nice! What is the size and weight of it?

[JeziHogg]

I usually use the 1/4 football type shakey head jigs, but that's a 1/2 Megastrike Shake2. The lure itself is about 3 1/2" long.

Those are awesome! Well done, sir.

[wisconsin heat]

WOW that jig looks awesome! That's one of those lures I wouldn't throw because I'd be afraid to lose it.
