Soft Hackle Tail

Have had a lot of soft hackle for a long time and have wanted to tie some jigs using it so did one for kicks and kind of like this. Can't wait to see it in water and think the added width will just stream back and make for more tail without anything else.

So what do you guys think?

They look terrific skip they should get the job done.

That jig looks like it would tear up crappies late in the fall up here when the cold water starts to settle in. Nice color scheme.

Looks great skip.

Looks good Skip.

I like it Skip. A little more bulk and staying within what you usually tie. I have some dun gray colored stuff that I used without the longer regular hackle with smallr hooks that I liked real well and so did the fish. Kind of a gray ghost miniature. Good stuff Buddy.

I agree, good looking jig. I am also impressed with the jig head painting. What kind of paint and how did you apply the paint? Thanks, Pop

It's just painted using powder paint. I do use a good bought fluid bed and I heat the head with an alcohol burner for clean heat. Then just dip it and clean the eye and cure in the oven.

Thanks,

That jig is a work of art Mr. Skip. Almost too pretty to fish with. Almost!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job. I haven't tried feathers yet, but I could only hope to tie something that beautiful some day.

Thank you Pastor, I appreciate that!
