no alibi jig

[shuorc]

Done a search yesterday for lil no alibi jig(used in 50s and 60s) last one i bought was in Taft fl in 1965 used them for flounder but would like to buy or tie some for specks but they are like hen's teeth. Did find a couple of good articles in the archives by guys that are familiar with the jig. Am i out of luck finding a picture of one or a place to buy them??--thanks for any help.--shu

Not at all like the one i'm looking for, should be made with chicken feathers and a cover of plastic about half way up. made before the mylar like material. Thanks for the pic, is this a current item?--shu

Yep that's a jig currently being sold - the pic was more for the jig head shape. I know which one you're talking about but I'll have to root around to see if I can find a pic of it.

I BET THESE ARE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. I HAD MANY GOOD CHATS WITH THE GENTLEMEN THAT MADE THESE AND HAVE SOME ORIGINALS HERE SOMEWHERE..

That's it. Used the white one the most and would like to tie some for fishing the pads and grass. Thanks for the picture.--shu

Got to looking at fishing tackle this afternoon and found an old 4 tray jig box and in it are 10 no alibi jigs, yellow, white and green plastic w/white feathers. will take some pics and take a couple apart to see how they're put together. Can't remember where they came from, does that mean i'm getting past prime or just have too much fishing stuff????--shu

Cecil .... first off to Crappie.com !!

Secondly .... scroll back a few posts and you should see pics of other member's attempt at duplicating the No Alibi jig. You could also send a PM to shuroc and discuss the matter. Just put the cursor on his name & then click on the Private Message link.

I have made a version for fresh water but never for salt water. The fresh ones worked pretty well for the guy I made them for...lol. If I could just remember where I put those pictures...lol..of all the fish he caught..
