I see a lot of minnows but not a lot of buggy patterns. Crickets, hoppers, bees, chromonids, larva and such.
Show me your buggy/larval jigs.
Here's some of mine, I have a lot of work to do... lol

I know, not technically jigs but they are weighted. I plan on converting them onto jig heads and fishing a lot of them this spring.
One thing I haven't been able to find is a jig on a curved hook. Anyone seen any?
Awesome. Very nice pattern. What’s it called?
Nice, I don't make anything like those but still have some that you sent me years ago. I think I sent you some jigs and you made me some on them. Don't know where anything is anymore but if I find them I'll post them. I do make a couple patterns like bugger jigs or my bunny flashers. Second picture jigs were taken in 2014.

The technique is called crocheted. It isn't a fast way to do it but creates a unique design.

That's my shrimp pattern. Used a clear pink spaghetti beads on the shank to get the body shape. Goona tie some crickets and other bugs on jig hooks using smaller spaghetti beads.
Found a couple more.

The second one i made with sewing pins and hematite beads. I think it works really well and leaves more room on smaller jigs to tie in everything. I think they are on a 45° jig hook head.
