Another way to tie a jig

[thespiderman]

I'm new to this forum. I've been a lurker on here off and on for a year or so. I do most of my posting on the Georgia forum. I am no where near the expertise of jig tying as some of ya'll are on here. I've been pouring my own jig heads for many years and in the past couple started tying my own. I am posting a couple of picks of the way I tie because I have not seen anyone else tie like I do (not saying it is anything special). It is a great way for people to get started because it is so easy. All I do is pour my jig head the color I want. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to bend the lead barb up before I paint. Wrap thread around the collar for the body and use mylar for the tail. Then I seal the body with clear nail polish. If I want to add some flash to it I use nail polish with glitter in it. By using thread for the body I have hundreds of body color possibilities and as far as the glitter is concerned there are many colors out there as well. One more step I do occasionally do is cut a curly tail off one of my grubs and slip it on the hook, and put a dab of clear polish to hold it on. Here are a few pics of a jig with and without glitter. Not the greatest tie job, but let me know what you think. The jig shown is junebug/blue/chartreuse.
