You know I would not be wasting my time on here If I truly knew people were not gaining somthing from it hopefully our youth I hope you Men pass on everything you learn on this exll. web sight many year's ago I was 7 and standing at the edge of the woods inside the city limit's of Marshall Texas with My trusty model 37A , 410 shotgun My father looked down at Me as we were about to go squirrel hunting and said; Son one day you will not be able to do what were doing now. ??????? I spoke before I thought and was scared after I said ; Daddy your crazy. He looked down with a reassuring smile and said ;I been told that before Son now let's go see about supper.
My mind travel's back to that day often and I've told My grandson the same words as well,I ask myself when I know oneday it will be soon I thank GOD for the gift's and tallent's He's given Me and I hope people learn something from them, well enough with the story, I've built a new mold tired of fishing the samething I think it will be a good trolling and vertical injured bait presentation what I need is opinion's on tail's more or less this jig weight's just a tad over 1/4 oz. Itook pics. of machining process of mold just haven't got them from My e-mail server yet?let Me know what you think.

That ain't nothing but cooooooool Flat..When can I order my first 100? seriously?? no man I ain't joking.
A man is not judged by what he has done for himself but by what he has done for others.
If you tied that same pattern that you tied for the swap it would look so good it would be illegal.

I sent you a P.M. it will be awhile before I start casting gotta put em through the ringer 1st thanks for the flower's I just try to tie what works.
I got to say I think maybe you should look into some rabbit strips, both straight and crosscut for the body and tail on that big nice jig head. I know it's not cheap getting into a new material and I guess I already have about $300 in rabbit.
If you don't want to do that maybe some marabou with chenille body?
That is what my Sig pic is right now.
But is should look good!
BTW I see you are just up the road a couple hundred miles from me.

PS I to am very thankful I have the talent to do my tying as it is what gives me something to do. Can't work and can't fish all the time so this is nice. I try to help everyone as much as I can. Actually I just hope to be able to keep doing this for a few more years at least.
I here ya Skip I actually thought of rabbit and proably will try it and maybe some day we can meet at the lake do a run what he brung day that's where you fish the jig's I show up with and Me fishin your's needless to say it's intteresting.
Looks good flat I love to try new stuff and that is for sure new. What size hook you got on her? Good job
zonker strips for sure!! (echoing Skip's note!).... those strips will definitely dance around when the jig is 'at-rest'!!
Thats sweet!
