Thread: Thought I would put the ole gray ghost on deck. How well do it work on your Lake?

The real Gray Ghost didn't use tip of the feather at all! It was just the V's type tying with neck hackle! The original I have seen in hand and had a funny shape head and a gray chenille body and all Gray tail with a touch of Black in it.Your ties are fine, but just thought you should know what the real deal was and iI have tied a boat load of them and all seem to do very well! I just used a minnow head as well as a ball head of they wanted with a #6 Sickle, but the real ones used a small regular bend hook. I had to convince them to try these Sickle hooks!Oh forgot to say I have not really fished it here, but as close as I get is probably Silver/Blue/White or Silver/Silver/Blue and that is when I can see 3' or more down in the water. Meaning see my jig that far down!

Post one buddy let me see what you talking about!

Couldn't find one quick, but this is same if you can just picture a Gray body. Also the original had an unpainted head like this jig, but his didmt have the stuff in it that kept is bright Silver like this head is.

Ok thank Skip!

I like those ties and the red sickle hooks are good too.

what head is that?
Thanks, Gary

Good looking jigs.the red one would work best in my lake. Gray is not a bad color but not the best. Just depends on you lake.

Here is my version not sure how to rotate the pic.
