Something a little different

Great looking jigs dabber. The colors you used look good together and are good crappie colors. Nice tying and thanks for sharing.

Really cool! It's supposed to rain for several days, so now I'll have something to do. Got a few old skirt in a box and I'm i'll find some vinyl somewhere. They look great!

They're tied similar to tying a larger bass jig using the same silicone skirt material. The wings are more complicated as they need to be a specific design to achieve the proper wrap effect. A barbed or collared head is needed to hold the material and wing in place. You start by tying a length of the skirt material from front to back. The wing is placed, wrapped and glued. The string is cut and the wing is folded over to conceal the wrapping.

Those are really cool and look deadly to the fish....could you explain your technique of tying them?thanks.

Wish that you would do a photo tutorial on this one as it looks winner, winner Chicken dinner. Would like to tie a bunch in the smaller sizes for gills and bream. Know that they would be killer on crappie he also.

Inkdabber, that's a cool ideal and THANK's for sharing .
I had to give it a try this morning. I had some of the plastic floaties in the pool shed. I found there was enough unused vinyl material on the edges for a trial run. I'll have to adjust the end of my pattern to a flowing wave to get a better winged look, but it's no big deal. I used flank feather for my first. I realized I should of tied the plastic first, then the feather over the plastic. That way, when you fold the outer section over the top, it covers everything including the feathers around the neck like a taco pocket. For my first, it looks "BUGGIE" to me.
Thanks again

They all look great. I havent had a chance to use any of 'em yet but plan to soon. Those top two colors should do great in stained waters.Thumbs Up

That one on top has been my go to bait at Santee over the last couple of months. It's surprisingly effective in clear water also. Especially in the tanic waters I fish most often. The orange and chartreuse is very good on white crappie.

WOW!!---those are a brand new look in tying jigs. Love the photo that proves they are already proven-your jig tied by you-in a crappie's mouth-it dont get no better.
