Attachment 174467Attachment 174468Attachment 174469Attachment 174470This jig is special. Called "Powder Purple". Literally catches everything. sent it to one guy on the west coast and he caught those trout. i never even seen or caught one before lol
I plan on testing out a bunch of my fresh ties on some newly stocked rainbows...I have a feeling it will make me feel really good about my jig tying since I have caught them on bare hooks before.
Nice ties!
looks good. what chenille?
DirtyChicken
I like them all but the 4 one down I like the best. what is the body made from and where can I get some.it doesn't look like chenille or any I have seen. Good looking jigs sir.
keep up the good work it looks like you're catching fish.
if i tell ya, u gotta give me a 12ft jig pole with ultra vis 4lbs test line
nice looking jigs and fish.--shu
I heard that man got to keep it a secret.
What's the powder purple chenille called. Looks like it would work well here on the clear waters of Lanier!
Nice ties
Looks good, really like the one in the fish's mouth!
Good job nothing like field testing! Way to go buddy nice work.
Good lookin' and clean tied jigs. They work.
Jiga, if you dont mind me asking, whats the long tail pieces coming off the back of your jigs? Is that flashing??? I looks different than most tail pieces that i've seen
I can answer that as I have a lot of it as well and sometimes will use it with feathers to make a bulkier tail. It's just skirt material, like silicone skirt making stuff.Quote:

Thanks for the info Skip. I havent actually ever used jigs for crappie. I usually just use minnows. I just received my tying kit in the mail yesterday from Crazy Angler, so I am actually going to start making jigs. I've only seen a few pics of the gray ghost on the forums, but would like to make one and try it out myself. When I do that, i will let you know.
I have tied a buch for guys there and they say they catch fish when no one else is. Its an unpainted head with Gray Rayon Chenille and the real ones don't use a feather tip, just use what I call my little V's and I use 3 to 4 Gray Hackle V's and one Black V to make the tail. I am pretty sure some of the sticky post at the top may have more info on my little V's and I did make a short video of how I cut my hackle and of course other than the tip the rest is cut into the little V's by just cutting the stem like every 1/4" or so, maybe a little longer piece of stem?? You probably do what a shorter tail for that pattern as that is just how it is. I do like longer tails, but not on that jig. I also posted here the other day some gray ghost type jigs, but I did use a tip in them and also used two different types of chenille. Take a look at them to see the jig I am referring to.Quote:
