In a Rut

[rezz93]

After being convinced that fiber jigs work well in the catching department, that's about all that is being tied lately.

I've got a box with all fiber jigs now and take it on the boat regularly.
The material is very durable and one jig that's been used on the last few trips has caught ~30 crappie. Still looks fine and still catching.
Last trip it caught 10 crappie, 3 stripers, and a bass. Two crappies measured 13.5" and 14.25". Nice.

Anyway, here's the last 2 jigs tied. I've made some progress on using the material and the jigs are looking pretty good.
I've been trying to tie a jig that is a minnow profile from head to tail. That is coming along but there's still a problem right at the head when tying off to finish.
There's still a small gap there that's aggravating but the resulting jigs are getting close.
I've been thinking that UV glue would accomplish a gap free profile but haven't found a good way to do that yet.

They're getting there and their performance has convinced me add that style to my arsenal. So the lab is still open for more experimenting.
So far, so good.

Oh yeah, the pics:
