It's just hackle, shad gray I believe with charcoal chenille and smoke powder paint. I tied in a tip and stripped the rest off the quill and tied it back in

Look up Skips tutorial on using V's to add to the bulk of a jig. Works very well and changed the way I tie.

Where can the axe heads be purchased?

After looking high and low on the Internet I finally found some at the honey hole in west monroe. The are made by Homer Humphrey under the crappue getter label. From what I understand he must have some kind of patent on the design. I'm not 100 % certain on that though, skip probably knows more about that than I do. Homer has a Web page but I couldn't find an option to purchase the heads straight from him there.

All I know about the head is the guy that use to tie the Gray Ghost and made it famous lived on Lake Fork, forget his name for the moment. I do not know if he poured his own or bought them from the guy you got yours from. I have a hard time believing there is a patent on that head and even if there was/is a patent only last so long. A Trademark like Blake ore has has no end! Not sure how long he tied that jig, but the guy on stickmarsh sold tons of them for a long time!

Dont know if there is legal questions or not for sure, but I suspect not and its a matter of having a mold which no one seems to have. Don't know if it only come with a #8 hook like the famous one or not, but that is what they use to sell before the guy passed away.
