OK MIke.....explain the needle deal to us will ya
I am out of the selling business. Retired except for what I make for myself and close friends. All I have learned was from communications with Snake River. I buy the jelly bodies, and sickle jig heads from him. Then when I get them I just experiment. I am using marabou tails, Polaris Hair tails, and I go to Bass Pro Shops and get rubber skirt material for large mouth bass. I pull it apart and thread these materials into the jelly body using a very large needle. After that I trim the tail, trim the front of the jelly body where I pulled stuff through. Seal it (Sometimes both ends) with one drop of superglue and instantly attach it to a jig head. Place in a rack to let the super glue dry. That is it.Quote:

Do you have much trouble with the tail material pulling out when you thread the hook on? Jacobs has a new body mold out that you tie the tail material into a knot and insert it into the body; then pour the plastic. It looks to me you would have to be very careful not to hit the hook point on the knot when you thread the jig through the body. Any experience out there?
I do not pour plastic.Quote:

ship you did a fantastic job of demonstrating how those go to gather I hope everybody that's interested in those little bodies will take a look at the above fantastic job you did ship.
I had a chance to see first hand how mine look and react under water. Man oh man do they look great on a bare hook or on a 1/16 th jig. I am impressed. They still remind me of the Fuzz E Grub which caught a boatload of crappies. Thank you snake. I need some more red and some yellow chartreuse bodies.
