From out of the past .

I posted a while back on some old time favorites when I was a kid one of them was called the skunk so we duplicated it and I closed a picture they are little bit time-consuming but they sure do look good we will give them a shot later on to see if the fish like them like they used to.

Pretty neat Bob......Toledo Bend has you thinking and trying all kinds of things......glad your having fun and catching fish.

Looks great Bob. All of the real nice tackle takes a little more time to do but in the end it pays out. Nice work :)

Good job Bob! They look like they should catch fish! And yes as G said maybe Toledo Bend and the big crappie have you thinkng more and better, LOL?

I really like the looks of those jigs! Well done sir!

Those look awesome.

Nice - is that lead wrapped wire??

thanks guys for all the nice compliments we've fish with them this evening and caught some catfish and some bluegill they do work terrific they have a beautiful action .


fatman we did not use lead we use solder to wrap the body it is soft and pliable just like soft lead would be.

Those crappie in Toledo Bend are in a lot of trouble. Bob will not get skunked using those. I shutter to think what will happen if Skip and Bob put their heads together and come up with a crappie Megablaster. Those two people here on c.com are always at the top of their game! You can lear a lot from them. Well done.

I thought they were just a part of a plastic grub. Did not realize they were solder. Seems like using plastic would be faster, but I know absolutely nothing about making jigs.:dono Just using them. :biggrin

Stick around, it rubs off and then you're hooked along with us.

Man it would be a real shame to go though the trouble of tying that marabou and sticking the eyes on something like soft plastic that will get torn up after just a few fish! I use hand ties mostly becasaue I get preally peeved changing soft plastic bodies all the time. I know soft plastic works and works well and I even have a ton of that stuff, but it's rare that I actually use one other than for bass, LOL! I just ordered some more like an idiot because I am pretty sure I will try one and then back to the black hole in my room.

skip the ones I posted on our very time-consuming and I've actually only tried one but they do work I believe I cut a couple of bluegills on them I haven't really tried them for crappie here yet but they are a lot of fun to make. o yes you do not have to put the eyeballs on them.
