My buddy Keith (Aka Microspoons) asked me to help him bring back old reliable. :)
Keith sold me his original molds that he made the good old reliable's with if you look on my website you will see them under Jelly jigs.

Here is how I make my own version of the "Old reliable." Snake River taught me this trick. These are Jelly Jigs. Just thread Skirt material or feather hackle through the Jelly body.
Nice work. This mold is what got me started in plastic. I made the mold myself and they are killer jigs to.

Jelly jigs are made from many different styles they are a lot of fun to make and I've spent many hours making .
here is a jelly jig like what you're doing in the picture I made up this afternoon the feather is tied on.Quote:

I had one of those machines and I didn't like it but they are good many of the commercial people that do flies have them it was faster for me to put the jig A vice . It was part of the stuff that I bought from Keith when I bought him out .Quote:

That's quite all right do you need anything let me knowQuote:

Correct?

Don't know what the hub bub or fuss is about this style of bait all the sudden but if you're looking for a jelly jig mold Jacobs Baits has several(1/32, 1/16 and 1/8) to choose from.Quote:
