I have'nt been doing much lately.But,I was going through jigheads and found some that Grubfarmer had sent me.Got my jig tying juices flowing.They are kinda tiny little things,I made them look bigger then they actually are.Only took about an hour from start to finish,lol.Catching gills with worms are'nt exciting me too much as of lately.How would you fish this thing?Probably a size 10 hook on it.
One thing about the Tying forum, some of that stuff is outstandingly bueatiful and painstakingly creative.
I'd never get that pretty thing all slimy from fishing it!
Good lookin jig AZ. Looks like you have brought your tying up a big notch. Gettin ready for the redears in Kentucky. Hard to beat red worms . I have been tipping my jigs with Gulp Alive maggots and been doing pretty good that way.Been tying using some feathers off a turkey for the wings. Take care and hope you catch some gooduns!!!
It's going to perturb me when it gets hung up,lol.I'm in the middle of another one right now.It's going a little quicker now.Thanks.
Thanks ifish,you started it,lol.
that is very interesting looking especially the colors I can see where that would be a smallmouth killer because it very well resembles a crawfish keep up the good work I truly like this one.
Yes Snake,but it is so tiny.I just found them heads,wish I could find some 1/8 oz. ones for smallmouth.
Heck I am still trying to find the hook, LOL!
Dont need one...looks so tasty they wont let go until they are in the net.:DQuote:

Good thing that it is very small because if it had any size to it and it were here it would go into the pot with all the other crawfish, corn, potatoes, etc. and we would have a great meal !!!!!!!

AZ- smallmouths do hit little lures. My personal best SM 6 1/4 lb came on a 3" worm. I betcha that little crawdaddy catches more smallmouth than what your thinking.
When we used to fish Lake Erie for smallmouths. Fishing pal and me would almost arm wrestle for the smaller crayfish we seined for bait.
I tied my brown on the wrong side,for me.Not for the fish though,That's why the hook was hidden.So,I tried some 1/8 oz. jigheads and was looking at the "Kip Question".Found a good use for the curley ends,I think.Looks good when wet.And it's got a big hook,that won't straighten out Hays,I want a BIG smallmouith.lol.Tommy,there are a couple of these in your bag already.
Nice looking jigs

AZ Nicely done. I have been working on one for our lake. Ended up with a Flo. orange tail and a color of chenille called Deluxe and palmer wound a grizzly hackle over the body. Does it work??? Like a charm. The crayfish in our lake are a little darker early not green but not brown eather. The Deluxe was just the right color.
Found a bed of bream and had a ball this morning must have caught 50 kept 20. The best part of the whole morning was a 13 inch crappie that was tight up to a tree. Dropped it down there and had fun for a minute or two. Was fishing the cypress islands and they are nothing but trees so had to keep her out of the trees and roots. Will be headed back on Thursday to see if I can do more damage.
