NateFollmer Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I had a few 1/8 oz ball head jigs left, so I tied some hair (and some marabou) to them. Going to get some jigs without the plastic keeper... That gets in the way and makes the hair stand up funny. I think they turned out ok though for my second attempts! Quote
basser89 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 They look good Nate! Man, I really wish my vice wasn't broke! I need to tie up a few more myself! Quote
NateFollmer Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks man! I need to get a better vise. Mine is too wide (the clamps) so it's hard to tie small stuff, but it's awesome for jigs like this. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 22, 2011 Super User Posted April 22, 2011 Looks like you've been busy? They look great, Nate. Quote
NateFollmer Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks Jig, I love tying these jigs more than I do making flies (in fact, I haven't made any flies since LOL). Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 22, 2011 Super User Posted April 22, 2011 It is addictive. I love to make hybrid bass jigs and spinnerbaits. You just never know what you can come up with, huh? Quote
NateFollmer Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah that is going to be my next target. I have some old spinnerbaits with junk skirts, they are getting haired LOL Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 22, 2011 Super User Posted April 22, 2011 I actually tried that on one an didn't like it at all. Now slip some crystal flash in the silicone skirt with a zonker strip trailer, now you're in business. Flashabou under a transluscent silicone front facing skirt, could be an idea. Ahhh crap, now you got me thinking. I'm gonna try that tomorrow. I have some pearl flashabou that needs a home...preferably on a spinnerbait inside a bass' mouth. LOL Quote
NateFollmer Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 I need some flash - All I have is bucktails and marabou. I wanted to make sure I'd keep doing this before I went nuts. I have an idea for a 'sexy shad' hair pattern. I'm sure someone has done it by now though. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 22, 2011 Super User Posted April 22, 2011 I doubt in hair or synthetic. None that I've seen. Quote
NateFollmer Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Was going to use that blue for the top, fade some gray and white down the side, put in a chartreuse stripe, then end the bottom completely white with some flash, probably put the flash throughout too. Would make a killer swimjig! Steal that idea if you want, I really don't care haha Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 23, 2011 Super User Posted April 23, 2011 I won't "steal" your idea...LOL...make it and post it. Quote
MSAJAA Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Try using a pair of wire cutters or a file to remove the "rubber keeper". Quote
NateFollmer Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 I won't "steal" your idea...LOL...make it and post it. Lol I need to get white hair and some flashabou. Quote
