A Different Type of Jig Tie...Idea from a Pet Shop

Strolled through a pet shop recently, when I saw this interesting fish.

Black Moor Goldfish

Then, I came up with the idea to tie one as a novelty. Here it is from different angles.

Thanks guys.

I sometimes like to create a jig purely for novelty. However, I think I'll try to familiarize a few bass and crappie with this one, just the same as I try to do with my other jigs. :D

Cool jig.Looks like a renzetti vise. Fish will eat that one so ya better make a few more.

Great looking tie - again - your jig rocks

yeah cool jig

Lately I've been tying jigs with dorsal fins and the marabou over the back is a nice looking dorsal.Also like the lighter colored belly like real fish have.
