Some bream jigs of mine

[AWMiller]

Looks like some fly tying influence in them top ones for sure. I like some of them pretty good. I bet you load the box with bream using them too. The top ones are my favorites for sure. Like the chart tails with black tips.

I got to try some of the Polaris hair last spring on bream and it was really good. When things slowed down just take a tiny piece of most any Power bait worm or what ever and it's on. Simple to tie and works.

Keep tying!

Skip you have some keen eyes my friend!! My tying starting out on trout flies .... I called 'em my White River flies cause I tied them when I spent my summers on the family farm up in Northern Arkansas. Always love to sit down and tie up a stellar paradun or emerger now and then; but where I'm located, trout fishing is not feasible (tends to get hot here in Texas and only a few places in Texas where trout do okay but no where near me!). Used to love taking some time and tying up all the life stages of a fly and having them out there on the river and using whatever we were finding at the time!!!

with that polaris was it that nu-cle-ar (??) stuff? I've seen that on YouTube and other places and have wanted to use some but never did get around to it yet.

AW, I like those top ones. I tie a few calf hair jigs but like trying different jigs.
Are those glass beads?
My wife has many of the glass ones, but I didn't think they would fit over the hook barb. ole Mike

yeah some of those are glass ... just take a pair of needlenose pliers and gently flatten the barb... makes for a more fun battle and easier to get the fish off when you're going to catch-n-release.... but for most bluegills that I catch it's "release-to-the-grease"!!!! (that's what Wally Marshall says!)

no doubt i am all about seeing how they curl and float in the grease

I got lots of fly hooks, but have to force the brass beads over the hook barb unless I mash it down. If AW is getting by with glass I'd use them. I like the slower fall anyway. ole Mike

yes i love the slower fall too!! especially during the colder months cause those fish aren't going to exert a lot of energy so you gotta put it right in front of them and keep it there!!

i didn't have any problems getting those glass beads over onto my fly hooks... maybe a little twisting & turning but they went on real easy... if you look real close at that top pic, you can still see the barbs on those hooks....
