ifish - How'd you seal the opening after you slid the mylar over the tip of the jig head?

Ifish. those are real nice also. They'd do well here.

I am curious about how the second group is made also. Those look awesome.

The mylar is stretched over the head and tied with nylon string at the front then stretched and tied in the back. I super glued around the string(front) and when it dried I used nail clippers to trim it tight and then coated it with Sally. The head is matched to fit the mylar tight. The head is a southern pro 1/8 oz. tube jig flattened just so the XL pearl mylar fits in. I powder coated the head also. Hope this helps. I did a video a while back but can't find it for now. It took several tries to figure this out and never let anyone know how I did it. Good luck if you try it.

I made mine from pipe cleaners and Mylar tubing. The original Cypert minnow is made with chenille. I just adapted it to the material I had on hand and it worked out ok. Here is a tutorial of a young lady tying what she calls a super Cypert minnow. I tyed mine on a 3366 mustard in size 6, she uses a size 8 if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a purist, I always put my spin on something. Not always with good results I might add, but it's just me being me. The white ones caught several sand bass over at Joe Pool. I've done some different colors as well. I've used both chain bead and lead eyes. Below are some others I've done with chenille.

wow the very last picture the one where you put green black and yellow with a little bit of pink and chartreuse is awesome I'm assuming that you are using a jig head around one and smashing it and putting they tubing stuff around it and tying it off.
