New Material

Hareline has a ton of new things so I decided to try a couple of them and here is the first one to look at. The body material is called UV Life Flex Wrap, but it's really big to use like I did. Any way for color info seeing this jig the tail marabou is a special shade of FL Chartreuse I had made. This is a 1/16 Oz head so maybe I should have used a 1/8, but I kind of like it on anything. I have not put it in water yet to see how it looks wet and to see if it floats when not tied on a weight, lol!Almost forgot, I did check it to see how well it fluoresces and it's amazing, see 2nd pic, it's so bright the pic is too bright and I did reduce the brightness some.Not sure where it's available, I just bought one pack of two colors.SkipAttachment 357280Attachment 357281Adding This material vs size #10 Crystal.

I think it would be a good skip.

I do too Bob, it's nice and soft too. I added a pic of #10 Crystal next to this stuff to show it's size.

That is a good looking jig

That stuff looks cool and is BRIGHT!!!!

Looks like a burlesque dancer. :biggrin

Reckon it will still look “fuzzy” underwater, or lay down flat when it’s wet?

I just wanted to add their new color Baby Blue which is not in the Hareline pictures.

Just for size, know this is a 1/8 Oz Nickel Plated head.

Beautiful jig. Beautiful color and material but rather large for my use. Where did you get the nickel jigs from? I'd like some 1/16 oz or 1/24 oz sickle hook.

Pretty shade of blue

Thank guys!

I have some that I bought years ago in several sizes, 1/64 minnow head, 1/32 Ball, 1/16 Ball, 1/16 minnow head and 1/8 Ball. I have the same sizes in Gold plated heads too, but I use them sparingly even though I have a good many.

Oh almost forgot I also have some Roadrunner heads plated in Nickel and some in Gold. Also some Pony heads with sickle hooks in them plated. I did have a few Black Nickel plated, but I didn't care for the needing to polish them up some so didn't get more of them.

I think most came from Crazy Angler when he was doing that a lot and I am not sure he has any now days. They are hard to find, but I do think Barlow's Tackle has some, know they use to.

Interesting.

Blinding the crappie first!

I bought some gold plated ball heads recently with our gander mountain store closing at a ok I guess deal. Still sort of expensive. They need a good shiny gold or nickel fingernail polish.....lol

I will try to remember a method I found to make a decent Gold head. When I got the ones I have I was getting him to let me send some of my Roadrunner heads to get plated at a good price. So I also bought a bunch from him of the ones he was getting plated. That was a long time ago and I just hold on to them.

One thing for sure Candy colors look best over Gold Plates heads and that is why I got them originally, lol!

That would be awesome if you have a easy way to do gold heads. I just use fingernail polish but I’m limited on certain colors.

Little added flash and shine
