Glitter Pinkies

[Pup]

Here are a few simple hair jigs that I tied recently.





Materials:

• 1/16 or 1/32-oz. ball head (collared) with #4 hook.
• White craft fur.
• UTC Ultra Thread (red) - 70 denier.
• Pink acrylic craft paint.
• Clear glitter nail polish (adds sparkle to the jig head).
• White and black acrylic paint for eyes.
• Devcon 2T Epoxy for topcoat (protective finish).

An offshoot of an easy-to-tie pattern that has worked for me.

Very nice ties.I'm guessing the collar on the jigs help give it that fuller look. You spend a lot of time with those jigheads.Sweet !!!!!

Nice looking jigs, remind me of the old Doll Flys. JungleJim Alot of guys I know here in Vermont that tie smallie jigs actually like the barb collared jigs and cut most of the tip on the barb off and use it as a thread stop to keep the thread from slipping.

Fatman, I still have some white and yellow doll flies, and found 2 or 3 cards of black uns at the flea market. Elmer was his name I believe and he passed away this past spring. A loss to us that used his jigs for many years.
Pup, them some clean ties. Real good work on the heads for sure.

Have a few of the old Doll's myself, now I wish I had a couple of big chunks of Polar Bear Hair to tie them with.
