Be advise there is a warning out right now about eating fish from Lay. Might want to head to Mitchel, Neely Henry, Weiss, Guntersville or Logan Martin if you are doing the "Catch and grease" thing.Quote:

Thank you my friend. Snake River got me interested in inserting different tails into jelly. Still playing with differing materials.Quote:

hey ship what all types of tails do you offer with these jelly jigs?
I am out of the selling business. Retired except for what I make for myself and close friends. I am using marabou tails, Polaris Hair tails, and I go to Bass Pro Shops and get rubber skirt material for large mouth bass. I pull it apart and thread it into the jelly.Quote:

I am out of the selling business. Retired except for what I make for myself and close friends. All I have learned was from communications with Snake River. I buy the jelly bodies, and sickle jig heads from him. Then when I get them I just experiment. I am using marabou tails, Polaris Hair tails, and I go to Bass Pro Shops and get rubber skirt material for large mouth bass. I pull it apart and thread these materials into the jelly body using a very large needle. After that I trim the tail, trim the front of the jelly body where I pulled stuff through. Seal it (Sometimes both ends) with one drop of superglue and instantly attach it to a jig head. Place in a rack to let the super glue dry. That is it.Quote:

Do you have much trouble with the tail material pulling out when you thread the hook on? Jacobs has a new body mold out that you tie the tail material into a knot and insert it into the body; then pour the plastic. It looks to me you would have to be very careful not to hit the hook point on the knot when you thread the jig through the body. Any experience out there?
I do not pour plastic.Quote:

ship you did a fantastic job of demonstrating how those go to gather I hope everybody that's interested in those little bodies will take a look at the above fantastic job you did ship.
I had a chance to see first hand how mine look and react under water. Man oh man do they look great on a bare hook or on a 1/16 th jig. I am impressed. They still remind me of the Fuzz E Grub which caught a boatload of crappies. Thank you snake. I need some more red and some yellow chartreuse bodies.
thank you ship I will get your red and chartreuse body sent right out to you.Quote:

My current "Go to" bait is a combination of soft plastic for the natural feel and a contrasting marabou tail for attracting qualities. This way I have the best of both worlds. Again it is what you have confidence in and what the fish are wanting that day. I am always fishing a double rig to give the fish choices in depth, color, lure, and size until they tell me something based on water clarity and weather conditions.
maybe that's why I combine plastic and feathers. So you will have the whole ball of wax and one.Quote:
