Looks good! Very nice ties!
Nice ties - float and flys are easy to tie and work well!!!!!!
Excellent ties!
Very nice tied jigs :ThumbsUp
Great ties. I like the undertones at the undersides of the jigs. Very artistic!
man those look great.
i missed that thread do you happen to have a link to it?
thanks
I think it was on you tube modifying a round ball jig...used needle noise pliers set jig in with hook eye in the centre of the pliers where the flat part of pliers not the cutters. Squeeze to flatten out,,,looks just like a aspirin head and the weight forward really makes a difference. And you can tight line the jig as well under a cork!
It was a crappie .com person

Those are excellent ties. Weiss Lake crappies had better watch out. There won't be any fish left for the rest of us fishermen once the fish see those bad boys! Well done.Quote:

LB, you do some real nice work, and I love the ones you did for me. Maybe I'll get to use em this winter, as last winter was out of whack for my fishing time. Keep it up.
looks good, where did you get your craft fur?
Three places Wapsi, Hairline Dubbing, Punisher....oh look at Hobbie Lobby. Or Micheals craft stores.
thanks!
liftbite those ties should keep your filet knife busy sir, very nice indeed
looks like they would be a good walleye jig or smallmouth.
Nice ties and colors the smallmouth/spotted bass are in trouble!!!! Hybrid's stripers take them away from us on our lake .You are expecting a smallmouth to hit and next thing you know a hybrid took the float and fly away from you:fish
Snake that's really what they are for...in Ga. Spotted Bass...and Small Mouth in Tenn. and Ky...the story goes the a Tenn. man using these craft hair flies for crappie under a cork and big small mouth kept eating the flies...that's kinda how the float-n-fly got started...it really is fun way to catch bass.
I love fishing for smallmouth pound per pound they are quite a fighter .Quote:
