What's the strangest ......

[Redman]

Y'all know the red tear strip on a package of cheese The one that is torn to open it. Well one of my old time crappie jigs is tied with this as body material. It really looks neat. In the old days we would use the red tear strip off a Lucky Strike cigarette pack. But those days are long gone because Lucky's aren't even made any more. That is the most strange material that I have used. Have used about every type of hair and feathers that are legal and obtainable. Some would be illegal now days. Way back when It was about all wide open.

Sure wish I would have bought a ton of Polar Bear. I might have made a ton of money with it today.

.... it's easy to remember what I made it out of :

A long shank #8 hook - BB size splitshot sinker - "eye" section of a Peacock feather Thumbs Up (back about 50yrs ago)

Actually tied it on & used it ... and caught a 8 or 9 inch Bass on it Doh ... and I think it came apart, after that, so I never bothered to "make" any more of my own. Rofl
