New stuff

For me anyway. I posted that I would post some pics of some collared 1/32 or 1/64 jigs that I use for gills, and the Crappie like em too, so here they are. The white is a Maggot tied on a #8 hook, using synthetic dubbing. Haven't tried it yet but I bet it will be a hit. The 1/8oz is my first attempt at a Christmas jig, though I didn't have the Kelly green chenille to finish it off right. Thoughts please.

Nicely Done Skeet. Yes get you some kelly green chenille and tie up some of them Christmas jigs. I know you will like them and so will the Crappies. Will have to tie up a few of that maggot pattern and see how it works.

Merry Christmas...lol. They look great Tim. The blue eyes look good. That maggot will surely attract the bluegills.

Them are some nice ties. Got a question though, that maggot what size is it?? When I fly fish for bull gills I use a popper-dropper rig so the dropper can't be too big or it will sink the popper. I've caught doubles on this rig it's a hoot to nail 2 -9in gills at a time!!

The maggot is tied on a #8 Eagle Claw bait holder hook after crushing the baitholders. It could go smaller without any problem, and would be hot on a popper/dropper rig. We used a Zara Spook and a dropper tied to the back hook for Sea Trout in Mosquito Lagoon, and it's great when two of those get on the same rig. Yarn and wool roving ( Hobby Lobby) would also work for the body, super simple tie.

Those jigs with the hackle are awesome. What is the recipe on them? I would like to get some tied for the bluegill spawn.
