Bdnoble84 Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 I think the bucktail in the red and white one isnt bad, although i like to flair mine out alittle more. I dont know if it makes a difference though. I like tying rabbit zonker trailers personally. You can go single for more of a leach/worm profile or double for a craw. You can palmer a body in as well if you like. Me personally. I go less skirt strands so the hair has more room to undulate. @Smalljaw has a couple nice hybrid jig how to’s if you go to youtube. 1 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted December 17, 2022 Author Super User Posted December 17, 2022 Sanding this one down to 1/4oz and switching to a 30 degree hook. Making masters is not my favorite thing to do. Allen 5 Quote
MassBass Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 I kept the arm full length on the 1/2 oz with Colorado blade, maybe that will really bring out the vibration. 4 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted December 18, 2022 Author Super User Posted December 18, 2022 Those will work! Allen 1 Quote

Super User Munkin Posted December 20, 2022 Author Super User Posted December 20, 2022 Thanks, those little finesse jigs have saved the day several times. Allen Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted December 31, 2022 Super User Posted December 31, 2022 My recent creation DS. Some skirts and spinnerbaits. 6 Quote

Super User Cgolf Posted January 7, 2023 Super User Posted January 7, 2023 Got the fishing skirts order today so had to put some skirts together really happy with the lavender ghost minnow skirt, on the top left, way better than I anticipated. 6 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 7, 2023 Author Super User Posted January 7, 2023 What color is that light purple in the top left corner? Allen Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted January 8, 2023 Super User Posted January 8, 2023 its two tabs of living image ghost minnow and a 1/2 tab of blue lavender 446. If you look up the ghost minnow color on the fishing skirts site you will see the subtle colors. I think it will be a winner in clear water. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 8, 2023 Author Super User Posted January 8, 2023 They look great and you are well on your way. Be careful with those red skirt collars as the break very easily. Allen 1 Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted January 10, 2023 Super User Posted January 10, 2023 Hopefully they will be ok. I have an older batch of red, white, and black skirt bands from when I first started making skirts. The older black bands all break trying to get them on the skirt tool, the white bands go on fine but are difficult, while the red bands are very elastic just like the new skirt bands I bought. So I really hope that they will be ok. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 16, 2023 Author Super User Posted January 16, 2023 Finished up the jigheads I was working on and made some chatterbait heads for someone in need. Allen Quote

Super User Munkin Posted January 16, 2023 Author Super User Posted January 16, 2023 Poisontail has the worst keeper section IMO. Allen 1 Quote
Jason Penn Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 i agree! but the head sure looks good as a bladed jig 1 Quote
Bdnoble84 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Hybrid hair jigs and playing with gray marabou and purple flash. Hybrid hair jigs are so fun to make, and they look awesome in the water. 7 Quote
Bdnoble84 Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Thanks. This pack of blood quill is excellent quality. As you can see, they are nice, long, full feathers. Quote
PaulVE64 Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I'm palmering some nice maribou as collars for fuzzy fibre bait fish that are 2.5" - 3.5" long. 1 Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted January 22, 2023 Super User Posted January 22, 2023 Made some 1/8 guppy head spins, three on the right. The spin on the left is a Stanley spin and the head looks a lot smaller than the guppy heads, so not sure of the actual weight of the Stanley spin. The skirts are white and burnt orange. then salsa, white, and burnt orange to imitate perch. 5 Quote
Chris Catignani Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 New paint, skirts and swivel upgrades. 4 Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 28, 2023 Super User Posted January 28, 2023 Beauties @Chris Catignani. That one on the left is a keeper for sure. Love the idea. Middle, short arm one was a killer spinnerbait for me for years. For some reason I went away from them. You just inspired me! Good luck with them. 1 Quote
