justcameslabdaddy I like the way you have a tip of the feather and then the V. I think I might have to try that on some.
Lovely jigs!! Simply lovely!
USAF Retired and fishing!
Let me say it like this, I take 3 Gray V's and 1 Black to tie in and the Black should be visible, but just kind of like an accent. So you want more Gray in it by a good bit. After all it is the Gray Ghost right? That amount of Black is hard to tell from the picture, but looks more like you need more Gray??
I got some of the originals. I will try to snap a pic n post it. Caught several at yucatan with it, I'm just not crazy about that small hook.
Great looking jigs guys.
Skip, you are truly a master at this little hobby of all of ours.

The Ghost is one I tie a lot of and always have several in the box along with variations. I've used plain, white, gray and black heads and mixed the chenille and feathers the same way, all with good results. With 2 of us in the boat we try to take a little different offering and see if there's a difference. Water clarity and sunlight conditions is all I can think of that makes one better than the other but there are times a darker version does better. Point is that there isn't any of these that are wrong, just wrong for that day and having the others gives you a better chance. The ghost is also my first choice to see if the jig and cork thing is working that day as it is seldom refused. Good work Daddy.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
That original look like it! Have some jig heads kind of like that I use for kip tail, but not regular type jig since it has a special collar and these have none. I used both minnow and ball heads on them. Some guys got some of each.
That at head I had not seen before seeing the original someone sent me. Mine that is similar is flatter so is still a good bit different than this one the guy at Lake Fork used thing these for everyone. It's a jig that the name is well known to say the least! I wish I could remember that guys name, but right now it evades me.
