Thread: Tied Some of My Little Stingers

Nice ties

Nice looking jigs I have a few of my own patterns that are close.. sorry But I like a lot of gray colors and usually add a touch of white and a bit of dark green or black on top

Not to worry, this is not one of my one patterns and not one I came up with. A fellow that lived on Lake Fork was the original as far as I know and his was called the Gray Ghost. He passed away a couple years back, maybe a little longer. He had a special type/shape head he tied it on and he also used a small regular bend hook. I just didn't want to copy his name for it, but had a lot of guys come to me to make some for them and it just kept being popular and just fit it into all my other jigs I normally tie. Most of my jigs and color combos were just me amd my looking for new things to tie. I wanted to have a really good selection and I didn't want to tie all just like everyone else. That is why I came up with a different way of tying my hackle tails. I have shared that with everyone and now there are a lit of guys that tie the same tail as I do. Heck I suspect many have no idea where that even came from, LOL!
This little jig even had a different style tail that eithe I or the older way used. This one is easier by a good bit depending on how particular you are with how your tails look.
