Better Minner

Had an idea to build a jig that was a uniform width from head to tail for a more realistic minnow shape.

Here's some pics of the process. Not exactly what I had in mind .Attachment 428742Attachment 428743Attachment 428744Attachment 428745Attachment 428746Attachment 428746Attachment 428747Attachment 428748Attachment 428749Attachment 428750

Another try using a bullet head. Jig looks like a two-ought hook long shank. Half of it looks pretty goodAttachment 428810

Here's one using fish hair over bucktail. The first two had a lot of flair in the water so didn't show the long slender minnow shape.

This one looks better in the water with the fish hair.

This would probably work better using a streamer hook which would allow for a better minnow shape. Since this type of minnow is usually seen near the surface, very little weight would be required.

I'll probably give that a try at some point.Attachment 428815Attachment 428816
