"G", James, Crappieseeker..Photos..How to make the Jilly Jelly Jig

"G", James, Crappieseeker..This is how to make the Jilly Jelly Jig. I will sometimes use hackle, marabou of flashabou. I mailed you some material tonight to experiment with. Always be sure to use a large needle with a large eye. When I attach my jelly jig to the jig head I will use a drop of superglue. Hope this helps some. I know I posted this before but you may have misplaced it. :cool::cool:

Mike we took the instructions to post on our website on How to make jelly jigs hope you don't mind.

Looks great, looking fwd to giving it a shot myself, will post pics when I do, thanks SHIP, God bless!

That is how I tried doing it in the past. I thhink my problem was i was using collared jigheads and it did not work out so well. I could make it work, it just did not look as good as those look.

I want to publicly thank the moderators as well as Snake River for their consideration and approval in making this topic a stickie. This has been posted in the DYI plastics forum for over six months but we were still getting a ton of inquiries on the process. By posting this as a stickie I believe we have helped several youth groups because they now have a project that their groups or even teacher's classrooms can do.

This also may spur many individuals to get into tying jigs by giving them a feeling of confidence that they accomplished something and actually made something that catches fish. Thank you one and all.

we are more than happy to help any organization or any youth groups if you need a donation of plastic bodies or your group we will gladly donate them to you if anyone else has any question about building jelly jigs in this method it when like more information please let me know in the future we will be coming out with many different body designs or the making of Jilly jigs please keep in mind that you could use many materials to build them.

Permission granted as always my friend. I am the one who should be thanking you for taking me under your wing and sharing your expertise.

Ship, the thread is a great help for anyone that wants to make their own Jilly Jelly Jigs. Nice job and was glad to make it a sticky.

Thank you so much again.

When using hackle or marabou you will want to cut the stem at about 2.25 inches from the tip. That stem in that area should be thin enough to just thread a little in the needle eye. When you pull it through, I try to make the overall length about 2 inches.

shipahoy, they look good. If you take a handigrinder and cut out part of one side of needle's eye that's closes to point you can hook the hair and pull through the grub much easier and faster. Hope I am not imposing on your great idea.

Not at all. That is what this site is for. We all help one another. Thank you. Welcome from Alabama.

I'm glad to see that somebody else is having fun making jelly jigs you could do so many different things with plastic bodies to make up your own jelly jig baits you did a fantastic job I'm sure that they will catch plenty of fish .

And it did! Between buying and selling calves I got a chance to go try these out and yes they will catch fish.

Very nice ship, perfect post it helped me alot im going to try soon

Would like to add to this trend that you can use any plastic bait body to make jelly jigs so if you have a bunch of plastic baits laying around that you are no longer using and of course these may have tales on them you can pull them off in thread in feathers or any material that you would like also keep in mind that we do bodies .

Ok, I know this is an older thread, but I have a question and couldn't seem to find it in the threads. When making these using marabou for the tails, which marabou is best, the strung, loose feathers, or blood quills? I am interested in trying my and at these, nd d not want to get the wrong materials to start with. Thank you very much for any help. Eric

Strung Marabou works best for me.

OK Ship, thank you. Looks like I'll need to get me some then. Eric

I have a stupid question where do you get the jelly body's from? or what mold do you use to make them?

You can get jelly bodies from Snake River or myself.

Trying to get started in jig tying and thought I would try these this lazy morning. Thanks for the get idea!

I used small pieces of cut up plastic worms for the body. I like how they turned out. Not sure which is my favorite color combo yet...

This is the simplified drawing on how to make them.

Those will definitely catch you some Crappie. Nice job apershon. Cut up pieces of worms will work.

I use a minnow tail grub mold to make 12 at a time and just cut the tails off and thread on rubber skirt legs. Either of these type will work.
