Need Pics of Crawfish and Grass Shrimp Jig Patterns

[Boone1]

I am tying some Crawfish and shrimp looking jigs. i would like to see what U guys are doing with those patterns. I am disabled and can't do very much that is too labor intensive. I love to tie jigs, fish, hunt, and gun bluing and repairs. I love to refurbish old guns for wall hangers.

i think for shrimp and crawfish the eyes seem to be the most important part.

How do U make the eyes, or do U buy them? I have been making some out of heavy mono line by melting the ends to for the little black eyes.

Wanna tip? While it's hot swish it in your favorite color paint.

That should get you going. Some are not tied on jig heads but can be. I like tying them if you couldn't tell but I over complicate them.

Wow! Those do look complicated. Killer jigs though.

Just complicated the way I do them. Replace the lace with brown chinille or just wrap the lace instead of crochetting it and they are extremely easy.
