Hi folks,
I was handcrafting soft plastic Jelly Jig Tube Baits for myself today to catch crappie. These are two inch baits. What do you think?

if you guys need the bodies give me a pm for making up those jelly jigs.
In order to make the "skirt" strands stay inside the jelly body ... you could pull the strands all the way through and remove them from the needle, then apply a dab of glue to them and pull them back into the jelly body. (just a thought)
Thanks for the idea, Ship .... now I know what I can do with some old plastic worms & spinnerbait skirts :woohoo

That will work Pappy. You can use cut pieces of old worms or get Snake River or me to make you some bodies. I pull four long strands doubled in the needle at once all the way through the body. Use cutters and snip the rubber away from the needle. Use locktite to attach the lure to a jighead. That also keeps the rubber legs from coming out.
also Mike you can pull everything through the body and snip it off even with the body and slide a jig head and glue it to the head we have been doing something a little bit different with them if we are going to do that method yes I pulled my material all the way through and leave a little bit so I can tie the material onto the jig head this way it will never come off if you guys would like some pictures of what I'm talking about please let me know and we will post them.
Nice jigs. Fish catchers for sure
Slide the needle and strands thru the plastic, remove the needle and leave the strands long enough at the head end to tie a simple knot, trim the excess and then gently pull the knot into the plastic body after adding just a wee bit of super glue to the knot. The super glue will lube the entry before it sets up.
Where did you purchase the skirts and jelly bodies from?
You can just buy a package or two of cheap twisters having the length of body that you want, or close to it. snip off the twister as long as you want the body to be. When you buy your twisters buy some cheap spinner baits at the same time that have the skirts the same colors as you want.
Im very interested in getting some of those jelly bodies from you, i know your online store is closed till october 10 do u sell those jelly bodies on your website?

These are wonderful little baits. I have been thinking g on how to do this exact idea. Instead of super glue I would dip them in clear!! I was wanting to mold fiber right in to the body! Very nice baits for sure!!!!
