I read that Red Ears eat crayfish and I made these up. They are 1/16 oz. and 1 1/2 inches long.

That'll work! Cool head.
Looks good.
Those look good my friend.
Kind of like that and what does that head design do? I am sure these will catch a bunch of fish!
Also did you see I posted a picture for you of my area where I am tying and taking my pictures?
Nice should work well.
Nice ties!! What kind of head is that??
Hey Skip, The head was designed so when it hits something it flips up imitating a crayfish defense of backing up when threatened. The rabbit fur makes the jigs float in the back a little. This head also acts like a crank bait bill making it dig and vibrate. Made a lot of these for some FLW friends for big mouth bass. Posted a comment on your tying station thread.

Now that is looking deadly!
Great head design. I like that it mimics a crayfish.
Hey Fatman,
I call it The DuckBill. It started out for bass jigs trying to make a crank bait with a lead head. I have caught a lot of bass on this and hoping to catch some shell crackers when they start bedding. I made a press like device that keeps the back flat while indenting the front edge. I made a mold for it but the way I do it I can make any size I want.
