Prototype jig with a twist

Partner keeps bugging me to do this style of tye – so I did it on a custom jig (he had a mold made of this style). Think it’s about a 1/24th and used VMC #6 regular bend and Matzuo #6 sickle hooks.

Very interesting.... fish haven't seen something like that before! Like the black blade too, have been changing up to some colored blades and have had good results with drk purple. Nice work!!

Nice looking jigs. I made up some handmade billed jigs but I haven't been out to test them yet. I put a bit of a angle on them though like a crankbait has.

They should have a wobble,plus the flash and additional weight from the bill should make it a great jig for deep water. How much do they weigh?Looks like #8 and #6 jig hook. I'd like to try a few of those heads myself.I'm always attracted to new and unique baits. Nice job,led !!

Those are really neat. I like the choice of blades too. :cool:

really neat how do they swim or fall .send more info

Very strange looking jigs, but I don't doubt that they will work just fine.

Man sweet jig heads!!!!!!!!! I'm temped to play with the ol Plaster of Paris and try to make some. Still have the old C. Boyd Pffiers book on making plaster molds and really need to give it a try.

Interesting jig. I'd use it. No doubt will dig into the mud/sand on the bottom and look like something good to eat for LP Bluegill and Redears. In the cooler months the trout are going to be a problem! Has JS used this style before? He does like the blades.

Very nice looking jig head. Really like the way it looks like it should balance out well. Tying around that barrel might be a pain though. I wonder if there would be a way to make that blade actually spin for a salmon jig? It may still work if it doesn't though, the flash will get salmon anyway even if it doesn't spin it will still flop around.

Could the barrel swivel be moved forward a little?
