Jointed Minnow

[Len]

Len, I just had an idea. have you ever thought of trimming with a battery beard trimmer? Mine was cheap 6 yrs ago and still going strong. Less than $20. Might be able to get the desired effect without the high dollar scissors. Just some food for thought. Great looking jig.

Good idea Skeetbum. Will have to check around for a trimmer.

Dogone you , that jig that you tied , tied me up all morning.

Differences I incorporated , used a clouser style for front end of jig , left curve on trailing hook to act as a stinger hook, used spider wire braided line for the " hinge ".

Used a no# 2 streamer hook for main hook and an aberdeen long shank # 6 for stinger. Will post pic of creation later.

Now for the rest of you artistic tyers will you give a fella a break. I would like to fish sometime. All these creations make me run to the " cave " and try to imitate what triggers my fancy.

I'm thinking this jig is going to move like a 40 year old cougar in a bar full of college students.

Len : in case you haven't bought them yet. Get yourself a set of Prism Pens. Those colors really come to life on that mylar. They will not fade with age either. Even thogh the camera caught some of the highlights they look better in person.
