Ok, here it is. I've been doing some research on some supposedly hot jigs from the past. Ones that in the day were pretty hot at the time. I ran across the name of one called a peewee jig but can't seem to find any info on it. From what I have found I think it's a thread neck type jig but can't seem to find anything concrete. If anyone has any info, would you please let me know. Thank you for your time. Eric, AKA "Jamesdean".
Maybe similar to a Popeye jig??
Not real suresure dedeepfry

Is it this?
2" Pee Wee
No SuperDave336, what I'm looking for is a hand tied jig. What I was reading was talking of a peewee jig with chicken feathers as though there were other versions of it. I know most of the feathers we use in hand ties come from chickens and maribou is Turkey. I just can't seem to find anything on this peewee jig in a hand typed jig. Thank you though...

That's it CP... thanks. Bow I need to see how to make it...sorta back engineer it, so to speak...
Anybody have any idea what the wing type body is made from? Maybe a mylar type material...
I just went back through this thread and realize I miss spelled your name deepfry, and truly apologize. Guess I should have proof read it.
Dont kmow anything about the jig but thank you for your service.
At the time it was a job that kept a young man out of trouble in a go no where town...but thank you sir.Quote:

No worries. Please do not apologize!! Glad someone found the jig. Always great information here to keep learning at Crappie.com!!! That is a cool photo shoot f those different jigs!!
yes sir. I'm glad they were found. I felt sure someone knew what I was searching for. I have found that all you have to do is ask on Crappie.com and someone is sure to know. Thank you again CrappiePappy.
Now if anyone still has any of these, what is the head and body look like it's made out of? In on of the pic's on the go to site it showed a pattern for the wing but didn't say what it was made out of. Any help is greatly appreciated. Eric, AKA "Jamesdean".
If the picture of the original jig is any indication, it looks like the "wings" are thin plastic (or possibly rubber) that are somehow attached to the jig, over the feathers.
Shuroc is still an active member ... so you might shoot him a PM and ask him if he knows anything about the original jig.
Thank you CrappiePappy. I will for sure do that.Quote:

James if you do a bunch of searching through this forum, hopefully you will find your info. I remember a few years back there was a story in here someone wrote about that jig, who originally tied and sold them. Then there was one on how to make the wings, what they were originally made from and how to tie them in.
Thank you Cray. Probably will start that search tomorrow. Getting a bit mind weary tonight. Thanks again. Eric, AKA "Jamesdean".
There's a short write up on his jigs here:Quote:

Well as I said, I did a search on the site and found a wealth of information on the no-alibi jigs dating back a few years. Lots of good info in their too. Thank you Cray for the heads up. Should have known I would find the info on crappy dot com and not out in the wide world of the internet. Going to give these a whirl and try them out up here and see if they will work like they seem to down in S.C. and Florida. Who knows, don't think many fish up here have seen them to be wary of them...
One of the tiers down that way said they were using worm head jig heads but I don't have but ball head jigs, so I will try them and see what happens till I can get some of those worm head jigs. Thanks again everyone for the help and guidance. Eric, AKA "Jamesdean". CDC community is always the best.
Can't post pics on PMs so will try here.--shuAttachment 324870Attachment 324871

Thank you very much shuorc, you have been a great help. Hopefully it will warm up here in a bit, and I'm off to see about finding some wing material...
