Haven’t ever caught one and making my first shot at them with a friend. I’ve seen shad darts for years and tied these to be as close as I can remember. Also haven’t tied any kip for a while so it was nice to get back after it. Hope they produce, will post a pic if they do.
Those look great, those heads dipped or painted?
Nice!
Good looking jig....just need a different style head and you got it...the original shad dart was tied on a shad dart head....I have tied a few of them over the years and sent them to the north country. Sent a boat load to Washington state over the years...I have never fished for them personally but the guys I was tying for said it was a real hoot....
Good looking kimp tail jigs and the fish will like those. The shad dart head jigs don't have a big following but they do work or I should say the smaller size does any way.
Hey buddy them will work I feel sure about that! Nice work!

They worked as I hoped they would. My friend Phil got the first and the most, and while I was apprehensive about the fl yellow and the red head, the fish liked it fine. On his rod. I think I got 2 and he got 4 or 5. Every bit as much fun as advertised with the jumps and hard pulls they give. I’ll do this again soon. Thanks for all the input, and I was kinda running on what I had head wise. A couple of pics from the day that started in the forties, glad I wasn’t in no beauty contest. Thanks......Skeet.
SWEET :ThumbsUp
Wow! Open Water an in the forties ! :HandsClapping

Great ties Skeet!! The shad don’t care if it a sloped Shad dart head or round head. Probably because our river flows the wrong way......another type of fishing I keep saying I am going to do. Were you casting or trolling??
Good job! Fun stuff!
We were casting. Pushed up against the weeds dodging the wind. Bite sometimes last all day but quit for us just after 10. Also had other stuff to do so off we went. A good day.
looks like fun to me and them jigs looked like workers as well
