Bluegill/bream jigs

Here's some jigs I've been tying. Some of them are based on fly patterns that have worked very well for bluegill and such.

The Chrome Dome. The fly pattern uses a silver bead head and I've caught countless rod-bending bream with it. Sorry about the pic size. I tried to re-size it but no dice.

The Pheasant Tail Nymph- a trout and bream slayer. I tease out fibers from the wingcase and bend them to make that leggy look. The legs won't last that long around bluegills but they look cool for the time being.

I really like the chrome domes. What size hook and head weight do you use?

Those are some sweet jigs Nice job !!!

Great lookin jigs.....watch out gills now for sure :D
I really like The Pheasant Tail Nymph....looks like it may took some time to make that 1.
Awesome job my friend.

Len: I tie them on 64th and 32nd oz. jig heads. Not quite sure of the hook size... maybe an 8 or a 6? A silver plated jig head would make the jig closer to the fly

Thanks Joe

Thanks Bluegill. It does take a little time to tie, at least a few minutes. You can't see it in the photo, but there is copper wire counter-wrapped over the wound pheasant tail abdomen to make it stronger, as pheasant tail can be brittle.

I seen 3 or maybe 4 pieces that looked like cooper but wasnt goin to make myself look stupid & ask you (in case it was the color of the thread or w/e you use).Regardless it looks absoutely incredible to me.
Your welcome also my friend.Keep up the good work.

"Stupid is as stupid does"no such thing as a stupid question"that's what cdc's all about"...some may think of some one who prospers from questions answered as stealing an idea,"that guy shows the initiative to do something ,I admire'm for it! there's always a shot to take if your look'n for it"!Ive learned so much from this site"if i had to credit everyone"..."trying to remember every ones quotes"on tips,opinions",suggestions,and facts"I'd just be beside myself"and could only credit one place as a whole"a family if you will"
