Orange/kelly green and blue/white hair jigs

Here are a couple of jigs that might work for crappie, in patterns that I fish Float-N-Fly style for smallmouth bass. I tied these this evening.

Used 1/16-ounce ball heads with #4 bronze hooks.

Key materials include:

• Kelly green, orange, and white craft fur.
• Saltwater blue streamer hair.
• Gudebrod Gude-Wind Nylon (pea green - 00) and UTC Ultra Thread (white - 140 denier).
• Mylar tinsel strips in green/blue and silver holographic.
• Jig heads are epoxy-coated over acrylic eyes and nail polish with a white acrylic base coat.

youe should go far w/ eyes like that too pup":eek::rolleyes:

MAN Pup!! Your hair jigs rock my world! You should put those in the jig pic thread

Very nice looking jigs Pup. Your paint and color combos look amazing, great job!

Nice buddy, the only thing I'd say is before setting them up in your jig box clear all your eyelets. You never know when you'll hit a nice school of smallies and the extra time needed to clear an eye out could make the difference in a big one.

Thanks for your comments Guys. I enjoy tying hair jigs for many species. Walleye, steelhead, and largemouth bass are others that receive my attention.

Currently, the jigs hang from a wire rack on my tying bench. Later on, I'll use an old Mister Twister "Mister Buster" to drill through the epoxy covering their eyelets. It's a useful little tool. :cool:
