SMOKE AND MIRRORS USING FELT on jigheads

[shipahoy41]

I am posting this here because a few of my friends asked me too. You can laugh at this stupid and crazy old man but this idea worked. I have been using a very light yet durable mylar that is chrome on one side and like smoke on the other side. I like it because of the daylight and darkness effect. Then I started using a small bit of (Blood Red) felt next to the collar before starting to tie the Smoke and Mirror Felt Collar Crappie jig. An old "Santa Clause hat is the perfect thickness and the blood red attractant color.) All fish are attracted to the sight of blood and the blood red felt does a wonderful job of mimicking a bleeding victim to the predator fish. Cut the felt into 1/8 wide strips and use just a tad on the collar. The small piece of felt is perfect for holding one or two drops of Gulp mixed with Wesson Cooking Oil, Garlic Powder, and Anise scent. Take a small eye dropper and just drop one or two drops on the felt. I dissipates slowly and lasts a very long time in the water. An empty bottle that had nose drops is the perfect size to put this mixture in, put it in your pocket, and take to the lake. Let the laughter begin...but I just had to share this with you because it works. Laugh at this crazy old man but remember you too will get old one day and have crazier thoughts than these to see if they work for fishing. I am NOT SELLING these because I no longer make lures as a business. I AM just sharing the concept idea with you. Now if you improve on the idea then you have my permission to take off and run with the concept. If you want to make a few for yourself just remember to put the felt on before you start to wrap the thread.
