I took a 1/32oz jig I had hanging on my vise and attempted a minnow pattern using some Ep 3-D fibers in Mullet and some tan craft fur...black 140 thread that was already on the bobbin. I am awaiting the new floor to dry so I can put another coat on it. I want it sealed real good...lol

Looks good. A lot of salt water jigs tied just like that.
Maybe add a little Krystal flash?
I would think it should work real well. Please let us know how it works.

Looks great Mr.Dean
Yes please let us know how it does, it looks fishy.
I'll be sure to let you all know. This particular one was a test run of sorts. I'll be tying several up, some for myself, and some for a new son-in-law out in Az. Deathb4disco, I agree with some crystal flash. 99% of my tying material is out in my Shed/tying room. I missed picking some up when I was out their earlier in the day. But future ones will def. have the flash.
They fish will love it
:ThumbsUp
That’s a great adaptation and I believe it’s gonna work just fine. About the flash, play with it some. Maybe a couple of strips down the side where the lateral line might be. Start with some on the hook shank, inside the body, maybe some on top near the hook point. Never know when you might stumble into a real winner. Very nice jig!
Thank you skeetbum, yep, I'm gonna be busy the next few days for sure. I need to finish sealing that floor, Momma absolutely refused to let do it yesterday. Then rip out some Kitchen cabinets, replace the particle board sub-floor, relace with new ones along with a new countertop. If I have any energy left after that Maybe get some tying done, LOL. But these need to be done before the 4th when daughter and her husband flies in...
Very nice.Quote:

Thank you DockShootinJack, Those My Son-In-Law will be taking back to AZ. I'm waiting on my check the 31st to get some more tying material and hooks. All in all he'll have about 25-30 in a fly box as well as some other goodies. Grandson will be getting a full set up for his birthday this year...
They should do very well with them
You can tie many patterns on jig heads you just have to remember that most of them will have to be tied hook up to look right.
Yes sir.Quote:

Just tell DB4D that "If it is important for your daughter then it is a priority for him." That is the secret to many happy years of marriage and fishing fun.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Ship, but I didn’t marry his daughter. ;)Quote:
