Like Skip was talking about, I went by Wal Mart and picked up a couple of Halloween wigs. They were too small for my big bald head so I guess I'll make jigs out of them. LOL

Black and blue is a great combo. ;)
Those will do nicely. Black n blue is good around here.
They will work Scott :):) Good work with the wigs.;)
Nice lookin jigs. I was gona go by and get some, but got to thinking that if I live to be 150 I will still have stuff that will never get used.
also looking your dollar store. Ours had the same thing but may be different material, but pretty close to the same. Those wigs there you would have a lot of material I don't know what you paid for them but I would imagine you got a good deal. what does that stuff look like in the water,Quote:

Nice jigs.
I got the devil wig for my red, but I wanted the 2 you got, but since I had 9 already I just told the wife to look at the start of next month for a sale to see if any of them can be had for $2 or something like that. Only tied one using a blond wig so far, but I can tell you that the Don King wig will be one that catches a lot of fish. It's so close to the craft fur one that is black turning silver/white just like this or very close and I tried that one and it works well.

Am headed to Wally world tomarrow to see if I can score me one the the blue ones. The red looks good just depends on price as to how many I will get. Yes I am about as frugal as they come. Will also check the Dollar stores to see what I can find there. Then it will be to the tying bench to roll out some of those fish getters.

Thanks guys, I think I paid $6 apiece for the wigs. I thought about waiting till after halloween and try to catch em on sale, but that would have been a gamble. Like Skip said, I'll still check out the sale stuff anyway. I doubt it has much movement in the water, but for longlining or spider rigging when you are moving, I think it will do fine. I tied a few with a blue pill head/red chenille/blue tail with some red flash added and I think they will be killers.

Amazing Scott....you can make a great looking jig out of anything.
I keep telling you guys that Don King Wig will catch a bunch of crappie. I know it looks like Heck, but it will work! Black head thread neck jig with a couple strips of silver flash is deadly.

skip the Whig is so close to calf tail in appearance. We will have to check this out. I believe the fibers are very different, of course. But is this unnatural hair or syntheticQuote:

The guide here on TB uses this craft fur in full length of his tails and does just great. SO very long tails that are much like this.

Skip you need to show us a pic with that wig on before you cut it up. LOL
LOL I don't think so, but I may get stupid and do that. I did put it on and went in to where the wife was. She laughed for sure, also trying the clown one, but man that one may be hard to get straight since it's nothing but curls. The colors just made me say I will try it anyway.
Scott I am telling you, this wig is going to catch as many if not more than the other colors and I am being straight as possible when I say that. I bought 2 of that one.

Also check your local beauty supply stores. They have party hair there at about $1.50 each. Hot pink as well as flo char etc.
My wife's on the lookout for the Don King wig for me. I put the blue one on yesterday and scared my grand-daughter. When she figured out it was a wig, she had to wear it for a while. LOL
ship you're not thinking about opening a beauty salon are you.Quote:

Bob they came from Walmart and I went to several last week and all of them had a bunch. Look in the Halloween costume part.
Skip
Ok check this out Scott, this was a craft fur jig I tied 4 years ago and they catch fish for sure. Tell me that Don King wig is not a lot like this.

Man that does look good Skip. I'm looking for Don King over here. We don't have em at my Wal Mart. What we need is a "Carrot Head" wig. Just think of the orange jigs we could get out of that. LOL
No. Just always on the lookout wherever I go. Wife went to get some supplies and I saw them there. Experimented with them for float -n- fly.Quote:
