Not a jig but pretty nice
I just started tying flies and jigs last year and happened upon this rubber band pattern that turned out pretty cool. I can't wait to try them on the gills dropshot style or under a bobber with a sinker.

Look great. Fishing them as a dropper will likely produce a ton more fish. I have been tying up some small stuff lately for this reason as well getting ready for spring. They look like feather quill bodies, is that right?

The body is made of a rubber band and some of the heads are dubbing and one is hackle, or at least I think that is what they call it.Originally Posted by Jubs

Gotcha, I have seen a pattern like this with the rubber band before and I haven't gotten around to tying it. Looking at your pictures of them though they definitely look like they would be worth tying!

Very nice,the way the body is segmented reminds me of a waxworm or meal worm.It has possibilities tied on a small jighead,a 1/64 or smaller.

Those look cool! I'm gonna have to tie some up for myself. Thanks.

Just go easy when you first tie the rubber band to the hook, use a soft pinch of thread till you have it attached then reinforce. The thread if tied in too tight can cut right through.
It is a great pattern though and with all the colors of rubber bands the possiblitities are endless.
