Every crappie loves a bad boy. This one is lawless. He is a charmer. He looks good but is very fatal to the crappies.

So tell me what do you think?
If you are curious then send me a PM and I will share with you how I created it all from scratch. Yes, this is a soldered jig.
They look great Ship!!! The pink tails will be killer this winter!
Are you using vinyl paint on those?
WAPSI Vinyl. Thanks GDC
As usual......good job! They look good Ship.
Very nice.
Thanks G3 and AZSlabber.Quote:

You are quite right my friend. Size 00 blade. They will weigh 1/64 to 1/32 depending on how much solder I add. Very nice slow fall in the water. The ones in the photo have a #6 hook. I also make me some with a #4 hook.Quote:

Nickle finish on the reverse side of the blade. You could also paint that side but I wanted the flash just like in my pinmins.Quote:

They really look great Ship. So that's a spinner blade? I thought it was a regular jighead. Very creative and a good job making it come to life.
You had me fooled Ship! They look great!
Very nice there son, keep up the good works
It is a spinner blade that found new life.Quote:

A single sided jig huh, would have never thought of that, I imagine they fall in a very irratic pattern. I wonder if one could solder 2 of them on and have either a scent chamber or air chamber or both.
Yeah baby. Will be taking to the lake on the 5th. Gonna introduce them to some crappie.Quote:

Hey David. I will give them a sore lip. Catch and release in grease!! Thank you all for the kind reviews. As I said if anyone else wants to learn how I make them then shoot me a pm or just check in the jig tying forum. Do a search on pinmins. If I can help you i will.Quote:

very lightweight and thus a slow fall
Nickle flash on one side and painted on the other
durable
soldered joints
attractive fish catching colors
use with hair, feathers or tubes
fun to make
fatal to crappies and any other fish bad enough to eat it.
fish4all,how would you get the solder gun in to weld the second blade?lol.I guess that you could drill a couple of 1/8 inch holes in the blade and then solder them to the hook and fill in the holes,Ehhh,lol.
azslabber, with a little flux you can suck the solder into anything anywhere almost. Anywhere there is contact of metal to metal and some flux between the solder will go. Just have to get everything hot enough that you want to solder together. Might have to use a torch to do it but I don't see why a solder iron couldn't do the job.
Skip, I will bet those would catch some serious fish here in salt water when the anchovies are running and the fish are feeding under them picking off straglers and wounded fish. A little bright green and a red gill mark might be killer on sea bass.
I am Ship. The other fellow is Skip.:p:p The erratic action would do well in fresh or salt water. I would love to see photos of this type of jig that others might make. I hope I have inspired some of you to duplicate / replicate / or improve this concept. Thank you fish-4-allQuote:

Look good Ship. Lots of work paintin those heads. Good work, bad for crappie.
Use a long needle and drill bits. It takes about 45 seconds per head but it is well worth it to get the finished look of something to eat. This also will help it to work in clear or stained water. The best color for any jig IMHO is chartreuseand.Quote:
