Duck spins

Under the weather since I had oral surgery and had last 8 teeth removed from bottom jaw so made a few duck spins that are 3/32 with #1 Trokar hooks. I added glow wedge tails to these so tip of tail glows.Attachment 512803Attachment 512804

Very nice. I love your duck feather jigs/spins

Jim, hopefully you'll be feeling better soon! That's a lot of teeth to lose all at once.

As always, your ties look superb! I'm sure bass and crappie will eat those up.

A question I have is, what dye do you use to color your duck feathers. I have seen green chartreuse, orange and yellow colored feathers on your previous posts that look very good. Thanks for your help.

Beautiful work Jimmy!

I use Cushing perfection dyes mostly but Rit neon dye works too. I made more yesterday and showed these on Facebook. Was asked if I sell them and replied I'm a jig hoarder but make me an offer. Offered $100 and told him sold and I'll throw in a few more. These are sold. Going to order more tying supplies. Attachment 512844Attachment 512845Attachment 512846

Thanks for the dye info Jim!

Those duck underspins look very "fishy". Perfect for crappie and bass. I'm sure your unexpected customer will be pleased.

I had six pulled across the top front. No fun, I’ll spare ya the details. Love the spins, good way to keep your mind off of the jaw. I haven’t been much lately.

After teeth got pulled I was offered a prescription for pain medication but being a "tough" guy turned it down. Big mistake, first week was brutal. Ibuprofen helped some but glad I don't have to go through that again. I lost a few pounds that first week.
