And this is actually pretty cool...I dont think the picture does it much justice. When I hold it up to the light and it goes white! Yoooooo that should kill. Kinda looks like the sorta sheen fish have underwater when the light hits right. 2 Quote

DanielG Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 I decided to make, of all things a wooden spoon. Didn't know if it could be done. It actually came out pretty nice. I'll have to see how it tracks when the ice eventually goes out here at the lake. I produced a video of how it was made. 6 Quote

Fallser Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 I awhile ago someone posted a "woolly bugger" jig. Taking a cue from that I decided tie my best producing crayfish fly and tie it on some jigs for myself and the guys I fish to use with our spinning tackle. It's a mish-mash of jigs, two on Ned jigs, two on a flat jig, and one on a round jig. I plan to tie a dozen or so we each get a couple to try. A group shot One tied on a Ned jig One tied on a "flat" jig. If anyone knows what style jig it is I'd appreciate the information 10 Quote
Fallser Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 I call them "map" pins. I pick them up in the craft stores. They're a straight pin with a round plastic head. I think they run around $5 for a hundred. They're mixed colors white, black, red, orange, green, blue and yellow. They come in what I call a medium and large size. If you look the two in the back tied on the Ned jigs in the first picture. The "olive" ones are the large size and the black ones are medium. I was wondering what to do with the other colors, and realized I could use permanent markers to change colors. So the "olive" ones are white ones I colored with an olive permanent marker. What I do is figure out how far I want them to stick out and bend the pin, so that when I tie them in along the side of the shank they spread apart and sit above the claws. 5 Quote

Fallser Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 I think you're right. Now that a name's been thrown out. I think they were called slider jigs when I brought them. I'll see how they work and then go looking for some more. 1 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted January 11, 2022 Super User Posted January 11, 2022 Second batch of wooly bugger jigs. The chenille I ordered is really fat, almost too much for these 1/8oz heads and way too thick for the smaller 1/16 and 1/32oz heads I want to tie on. My techniques still need a lot of work, but I made six total and didn't have to cut any apart to start over, which is progress. 9 Quote
