Jig Addict Accesory (pics)

[Nightprowler]

I was tying some bleeding shad jigs, when another crazy thought popped in my head. I usually just jot dot a note and carry on, but this was different. The gears started working and I considered how I could "pull" it off. I some how had to get the hook to the top of the jig as well. After some not so deep thoughts, I figured it out. I remember having some cool looking nylon rope material somewhere. I painted some jig heads and looped the rope material and tied it in, then finished it with some chenille. I then used a split ring to attach the " Zipper Pull" to my Crappie.com jacket.
What do you think??

Here's a good picture comparing the hooks eye in the front along with the barbed end before it's cut off. Plus you can see the loop for pulling.


And a close up of it attached to the zippers pull.


Another pic with the front of my Crappie.com jacket.


And lastly, the back of the jacket.


I'm planning on giving these accesories to some friends and family.

Cool zipper pulls! Where did the jacket come from?

NP : Cool,Cool And Cool. Have to make myself up something like that for the fishing vest. After all I live in Texas where it once again hit a hundred degrees here in Uncertain. This Weather has been unbelievably hot this year. All my jackets are stuck in the back of the closet. Even though I have cut and split 3 cords of wood for winter don't know if we will even have one this year.

Good idea value added type item.

Thanks for the compliments you two! Contact bttmline on the Ohio board about the jacket. Him and his wife make them. The one I received was the hooded holloway. It is one warm sucker for sure and very good quality. Redman, you better make several, because when someone see's them in person, the word spreads like WILD FIRES! One for my jacket, one for my lamp, one for my truck and the keys and on and on and on...lol.
Thanks again,

NP : You are right am sure that you can get more for the pull than for a jig. Funny how ideas will jump in to your heads. At a craft fair or swap meet will clean up that is for sure.

Those are sweet. I'm always starting stuff like that unsuccessfully for family. Way to pull it off and keep the gears turnin'!

Those are cool "Zipper Jigs". I may have to do a few myself. Shoestrings,since they come in such a big variety of colors would make a good substitute for the nylon cord. Great idea.
