Float n fly is a jig that is used in the winter months to catch big small mouth and spotted bass in cold water conditions...48-38 degree water. these two species will suspend on 45 degree banks bluff walls on or near a tiny bait that they prey on in that time of yeatr. the jig is suspended under a cork . we use long 9 1/2 rods on spinning tackle braid main line and 6 lb florcarbon leader.Quote:

Really nice F+F's
I love the look of those heads, are they regular aspirin heads with 3Deyes glued on?
Nice looking jigs!!!!
Craft fur is my go to jig material.
How does craft fur look in the water? Is it stiff like bucktail or does it move like marabou?
Also, are there applications for Float n Flies techniques in Crappie or Bluegill fishing?

The craft hair is alive in the water, I think better than buck tail for the application. The head is a round ball head, modified, then I glue on a three d eye, then top coat it with lacquer .
It has a nice fluid motion in the water. I used to use Punisher craft hair but it's so thick now I gave up on it. I have darice and use it but I really like the old Targus craft fur!! Hard to find now, but the patchs were nice sized. I have lot's of the Hairline extra select craft fur. Most don't know you can cut it like zonkers and use it that way - and a cross-cut style zonker of craft fur ties very nice.
I've seen some of the cutters that guys have made but I REALLY like my fingers!!!LOL
Nice ties! Really love me some craft hair, I like to describe it as the jig is breathing in the water :ThumbsUp
