Hand-ties that have worked well this year

[Bigskyfisherman]

These jigs have worked well at Carl Blackwell, Hefner, two Illinois lakes, and two Missouri lakes. If you tie your own, you might try these patterns.

Those look great, I really like the chartreuse and orange one.

Thanks, catman. I did that in 1/4 oz. to throw from the bank at Hefner, when they were really deep. The sandies and walleye like it too. The little jig at the bottom left is a peacock herl body and pheasant tail. It has been my best jig at Hefner for maybe twenty years. It killed them at Carl Blackwell late last winter. I have been mostly experimenting this year, and haven't used it since November.
