I might get tired of playing with these some day , but as of now they are my newest toy !
to be able to assemble whatever color combination you think might get bit ON THE WATER as you go is about in my opinion just about to terribly cool .
And to employ a soft plastic body with the finesse of a feather tail is for sure a plus as well .
these things are pretty darn nifty ...
no doubt a KABOOM is in order here for sure :highfive
see the instructions below :cheers2
Did you make those tails or buy them somewhere? That is really a cool idea..
a member here makes them and i have no clue if he sells them , but the way they are packaged tells me it is likely they can be bought .
the one thing i can say is WOW did someone have the gears up stairs turning in harmony when they thought it up !:highfive
i hate to toss out names as he might not want to sell them ,we only discussed me trying them some .
i thought he was sending me some hand ties and when i opened the package i went what in the world is all this stuff ?
i played with them some yesterday and once you know how to assemble one it goes right quickly from parts to a jig !
i made up several for fun in just a few minutes :cheers2
I love that idea. If the member that has/sells/sent these to you is watching, Please let me know where I can buy these at?
This is a brilliant idea........ And yes, Kaboom does describe it well....
Pretty cool idea. Customizable jelly jigs.
Kewl......
Look like some good colors would work well with that system....
Very cool idea!
Sure would make for a smaller tackle box. A handful of body colors and tail colors, then mix and match to your hearts desire.
Awesome idea
This is a very neat idea. I hope the tier can get these out there and have success with them! I think you’re right - it is a Kaboom!

Nice jig K- Can be easily made with needle(I like a larger one)/thread(looped nylon too)/feather/marabou of choice...made many. Can also use a doubled piece of wire to form a loop, insert feather of choice in the loop, stick ends of wire through plastic body and pull through = easy/peasy:highfive

Awe yes the modular multiplying factor. 10 jigs = 100 combinations, 12 jigs = 144 combinations and so on.Quote:

I like this conception, as not all of us are into making our own jigs, nor have the materials to do so. Pie Guy, this is a great idea. You should patent it, before the idea is stolen from you.
Patents are a real sore subject. I was granted a patent on this and a banding tool in 2000. Took my hard work and investment to the I Cast in Las Vegas to show my stuff. About a year later I started seeing the banding toolsQuote:

Patents are for deep pockets. I just had to walk away. I am still a positive guy who loves to create, fish and share with like minded people.
Cool beans!!!

I received a box myself and they’re just as cool as stated so far. The possibilities are seemingly endless. I’m sure they’ll work very well and I’ll post more about them once I get them wet.
Thank you and I hope you throughly enjoy.Quote:

he is a wise man though and sold the patent to some deep pockets and walked away smiling . so many of the people he talked with about marketing wanted the formula , most cited the reason as the label and safety and etc . , but we both knew the real agenda ,as we chatted frequently about what he should and or shouldn't do with it .
You are absolutely right. I could write a book on the subject and call it Sucker.Quote:

Makin jigs! I recall some 60+ years ago fishing on the Hudson River in upstate New York and ran out of worms. Good spot to. small bass everywhere. Found some feather's on the ground and put them on a hoof by clamping around them and the hook shank with a split shot. Worked great! I need to get back into that frame of mind again!
used a white duck feather on a jighead with a white crappie nibble not long agoQuote:

bass aint terribly bright and they loved it
Great invention Pie Guy, sorry it did not work out.
Those are pretty cool idea with endless possibilities. Like Ketchn said, pocketful of parts and then change as needed. :highfive
Such is life. However in the rearview I can't see where I'm goin and things turned out good. Ketchn is sticking them pie with it where it counts. In their pie hole.Quote:

I know the feeling. I have had several of my ideas stolen from me and patented by those with deeper pockets. (Poor Man's Fishing Bucket; Home Impact Socket Wrench; Full body pillow for pregnant women; Stickers for license plates instead of buying new tags every year etc.) People have been replicating, duplicating and imitating ideas of other people for years. One patent attorney once told me is all they had to do was add a screw or bolt in a different location in order to change your idea to something else. I also am still a positive guy who loves to create, fish and share with like minded people. I do like your ideas though.Quote:

Lindy made a jig called a fuzzy Grub,which worked quite well for me.
The grub is quite similar to the one described.
I did something similar my friend when I was making jelly jigs. Here is how I did it. Tail material can be Marabou feathers or rubber legs.
You can cut old plastic worms down to size the the jelly body. Fish don't seem to care. You can also get jelly jig bodies from Snake River on the DIY Soft Plastic forum which I did.
