I had this one in my vise since yesterday and just waiting to see what I wanted to do with the tail. So finally I just said heck with it I do Chart Marabou.
This will have to do until I get the green stuff like the Blue was.
Pearl Head with FL orange Eye!.....

Very nice! Haven't seen anything like that before. Excellent work.
Thanks Tracker! I have some other nice colors for eyes and plan to get what other colors that cover the thread like the ones it the other post about these on here. So many materials available to dream up uses for.
Looking good Skip. I have had good luck using the Boolie jigs over the past few months. New tying.
Nice ties Skip!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice eye on that one!
nice tie Skip
the orange eye and bead combo is a real eye catcher, it works real good with the chart
very nice
Thanks guy, I probably painted the eyes on that jig maybe 6-8 weeks ago and just didn't know what I was going to tie on it then and just thought since I got the FL beads it would go good on this set up.

beautiful jig!!! the only thing I might change is to give the prop a little more space, the guys on another site who have been using these jigs claim the prop spins easier, and is easier to clean the grass out of the prop. And that orange eyeball is killer!
Thanks, I have not had the chance to actually get one wet so I will have to go try it off my neighbors dock to see if or how much I need to adjust. I love the eye also and when I got that paint it screamed for me to put it on a Pearl head I had sitting in front of me, LOL!
I do really appreciate the feedback and help with something new to me like this.
Thanks again!
Dang! that's nice!!! I hope you don't mind but I gotta make suma dem
Well I got to try it in the water next door, it's shallow, but still could see what it was doing and it spins really free. I am wondering how much room do you think is needed? I have something like 1/24" without pushing down on it and I mean just hanging free So do you have some kind of guideline for how much space is needed?Quote:

"wow"
Skip you need to just leave enough room for the blade to spin freely. I have been tying some for longlining and they are working great.
As you can see in these two I don't leave anymore room than the blade needs spin.

Thanks Stump Hunter, I tried one of mine and it did really well, I can blow on all of them and they spin like crazy.
Cool :ThumbsUpQuote:

Sounds like your in too, LOL! Join the party. I only bought the smallest 2 sizes and think they should work well long lining!Quote:

That color will absolutely nail crappies on Weiss or Logan Martin. Very good job Skip.
