    Default A few from the vise today


    I had a few heads on the bench, and a few feathers, and just decided to see what I could come up with. Some of you might recognize Hunter 7711 heads with the painted and sticky eyes. They're top notch. The Gray's are a standard of mine, but these are tied with a soft hens hackle instead of the usual rooster. They are a bit softer and more active than I usually tie, and a bit bulkier as you can see from the one minnow head and large tail. These are mostly using 2 feathers facing one another and have a bigger signature than normal. I'm fishing some suspended fish in about 20' to 35' fow at about 12' to 18' and like everywhere there are shad clouds moving from time to time. Hopefully these will get their attention. The black and gray is my version of the "Gray Ghost" that was posted elsewhere recently, and I have high hopes for it. The smalls are 1/64 and were tied from the scraps on the bench. The bottom right is my first attempt at twisting 2 colors of chenille. If I don't freeze I'll post more about them tomorrow when I get off the water. Thanks for looking.

    Them are some good looking ties. Anytime I see blue and chart on one jig it gets my attention as it's an ALWAYS GOOD COLOR here for me. You guys must do pretty good with those gray colors. I fish curly tail jigs and catch my share off of tenn. shad (gray and white) myself. Again, good job!:p

    I like the way you painted the eyes instead of using the stick on's.

    Good job skeet. I love the blue/chartreuseand the gray/black. Some of those heads look familiar, maybe from around Picayune, MS? I've got some of hunter's fine heads also.
