you for sure need to pitch them big duck feather baits right now !
they are on large shad here and really whack them things ....
that long flash in the tail on that tie and it's movement are so enticing , man do them swim with a vengeance
mighty fine baits bro ....:highfive
KABOOM is the word sir
I will if I kin ever get well enough to get to the water. This south blowin cold wind has my knee in some kind of bad shape. I don't care what that Dr says, My hip don't bother me, but man, does that knee and ankle. Them is some real pretty jigs and fish for sure.
Jungle Jim makes mighty fine jigs.
Very nice. Kaboom

KABOOM!
Happy to see that you are putting them to use and Ketchn with them. Been tying with duck feathers almost 30 years now and it's my go to bait when I need to catch some. KABOOM is the word.
that flash in the tails and the way it "swims" is just stupid deadly bro , if the fish are on larger bait , it is just about some serious KABOOM .Quote:

need to know what it looks like when I do what I do with it .....:highfive
Morning Jim. I have a question on the feathers. How do you straighten them out. All I've seen of the size I need are curled up pretty good. Thank you Jim. Eric.Quote:

The flash in those jigs are like a neon sign saying "DINNER TIME". I've modified the duck jig several times over the years and really happy with them. No more changes now. I use Krinkle Mirror Flash from CASCADE, duck feathers and a little bunny hair tied in at the throat to finish. Never had the paint chip on my paint jobs since I started layering my paints. Mallard flank feathers do have a curl at the base of the feather so I cut the bottom portion off since you don't need that part anyway. Then I put them in a plastic storage bag and squeeze the air out until bag is flat. Next time I use them they are almost flat with a slight curve.
them are DEADLY bro , just look so good when swam along a bit , looks like a flickering shad when it gets moved ever so slightly .....Quote:

those winter crappie are often times suckers for a really still handtie , that undulation with almost zero movement will look JUST like a not so happy winter shad ....:highfive
I’ve long admired Jim’s work and tried my hand at it a few times. There is a knack to it that I don’t yet have. I had some of his spinnerbaits til I got talked out of two from folks who just went on about them so I had to give em one. One got stolen by a bass that was bigger than my line. Keep doing what you do Jim, they definitely work.
