Bought several of these 25 years ago in Arkansas, but now can't find them anywhere... Fluorescent pink with a lead body & hair tail. Come in 1/32nd, 1/16th and 1/8th sizes. Closest I can find are teardrop ice fishing jigs, but none of them have the hair tails, and can't find fluorescent pink. Any one who thinks they could make these relatively inexpensively? TIA

Very easily made. I've made many but don't sell. It's just a streamer fly hook wrapped. Attachment 379183

Certainly similar... thanks.
Good looking jigs
If that's a lead body, someone would have to custom build a mold. I'm also curious how big they were - if that whole body is lead that sucker would be pretty heavy even if it's a small hook.
It's not lead... they sink, but they're very light. The one pictured is the biggest, and it's only 1.5 inches from where you tie on to the end of the feather... weighs maybe 1/16th of an ounce. Some kind of white, fibrous material under the pink paint.
Well the body is not chenille or not normal chenille. I would think some kind of rubber or silicone material wrapped around to from the body. If the tail is feathers then that can be just the little V’ as I call them ties in like the Gray Ghost tail is! Plus is has no head so it’s just a hook and not a jig hook.
I would think you could substitute chenille for the body and it would work pretty much as good as the old one, but maybe act a little different in the water? Maybe ultra chenille would be best or a Mylar type chenille?

This can definitely be recreated.

I agree, here is some options you can make.Quote:

Interesting. They look pretty awesome, like a grub almost. I've seen jigs guys make that have a plastic body and feather tails, so I'd think there's a good chance a mold could be made with that shape too. Good luck!Quote:
