caps spider

[HMK]

Ready to go after Bluegills?

Wanted to break in the new vice tonight. This is a 1/124 jig. It's called a Caps Spider. Been wanting to try this one. I didn't have any chenille, so I had to substitute black sparkle braid. I also going to make a few with peacock herl as well.

Looking good man! How are you liking that new vise anyway? I bet you like it and just know it will even get better as you get use to that straight jaw.

Yes Sir, I am falling in love with it. I am trying to take advantage of its rotary function. I need to learn to think and plan the fly out before spinning. hahahaa.

Im trying to find someone to pour me some 1/124 jigs. My usual source doesn't pour that small. I guess I could use 1/80, but according to the video I watched, the 1/80 doesn't sink slow enough. Hard to imagine that, but I suppose it could be true. I guess I won't know till I get a chance to wet a hook.

You could always get a little into fly tying hooks and use a bead for the head. Actually could probably use a jig hook and a slotted bead for the head!!

Yes need to know where your going before you hit the accelerator, LOL!

those are some mighty fine looking little jigs I'm sure the bluegill will tear them to pieces.

One with just a tad more weight. This is 1/80

Yeah use a tungsten slotted bead and jig hook... Cabelas sells 1/124 with gold hook #10 or #12 hook I think...

Nice work

On my smallest ties I use a dry fly hook usually a 1X long and squeeze a splitshot just behind the eye. A dab of SHHAN (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails) keeps it in place. I add a coating of black nail polish over that. Makes a dandy straight hook jig. A bit of craft fur for the tail and body of peacock herl finishes it. I have thrown them on a 5wt fly rod with a strike indicator on the fluorocarbon tippet and the red ears love them.

These are #10 wet fly hooks with 5/32" dia painted brass beads. They weigh @ 1/100oz I believe. Made them several months ago.
