THESE ARE SOME OF MY DUCK JIGS THAT I'VE WANTED TO POST,BUT WITH MY DAUGTER'S ASSISTANCE I HOPE THEY GO UP.ALL WERE TIED ON RED OR BLACK CHROME SICKLES.MOST ARE TIED ON SHORT SHANK SICKLE HOOKS THAT APPARANTLY DON'T EXIST BECAUSE I HAVN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THEM SINCE.EXAMPLE:THE NUMBER 1 AND 2 SHORT SHANKS HAVE THE HOOK GAP OF A 1 OR 2 BUT THE SHANK IS AS LONG AS A #4. IF ANYONE CAN FIND ANYTHING LIKE THESE JIG HOOKS LET ME KNOW,I'D LOVE MORE. I ONLY HAVE 100-200 OF EACH SIZE. THE SPINNER JIGS ARE 1/24 PILLHEADS ON REGULAR #2 RED SICKLES.WELL,WHAT DO YOU THINK. IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO TIE ONE OF THESE UP.YOUR FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED AND PLEASE BE HONEST.I HAVE THICK SKIN.

i like them all great job.whats the smallest one u have.but i dont care for the spinners.just my opinion

good lookin jigs JJJ !!

The yellow and gray with the pink head will do just fine for a swap jig nice !

Man them things are nice. I like the way you got the feathers to resemble the shape of a minnow. Really natural looking with flashy colors.

What ducks are you using feathers from? Also, do you pour your own heads?

Mighty nice my friend. Thanks for sharing those with us. :)

Very good baits. Do you bend your own spinners? Where do you get the fish shaped spinner blade?

I've Tied These From 1/8 To 1/80 On A #10 Hook.great Bluegill Bait In The Smaller Sizes. I Was So Pumped Up On Being In On The Next Swap That I Tied Up Two Dozen Last Night For The Swap,a Different Color Than These.it Will Be A Surprise. The First Jig That I Tied That Caught Fish Was A Duck Jig And When All The Other Stuff Don't Work That's What I Go Back To.

JJ those "Ducks" look great

The Feathers I Use Most Of The Time Are Mallard Flank Feathers,but I Love The Teal And Gadwall Flank Feathers With Their Dark Barred Colors.i Use Wood Ducks On Some But Not Too Many Because They Are A Bit Pricey.i Pour All Of My Jigheads Because I Like The Variety Of Hook Sizes I Can Use With One Mold.a Great Mold You Can Use Three Sizes Of Hooks.i Don't Make My Own Spinner Arms.i Usually Buy 20-30 And Add My Own Split Rings And Blades.i Got The Blades In The Picture From Stamina And The Jig Spinner Forms From Barlow's.

Nice looking jigs, wonder if I have any mallard flank laying around...

Very Nice!

Love them. I like duck feathers my self, but don't offer them much on my site because I don't duck hunt any more and have a good many and don't want to need replacing them, LOL!

Alright, you want us to be tough on ya... I can't! Those feathers look so much like fish scales I might get my net out if I saw one go by me. I would take em' with the spinners, I do a bit of drifting and trolling and use them often. They work good for me!!! Think I have 4 or 5 duck feathers in my box.........

Those are really nice looking i never use much for a spinner around here usually just a jig head i like the asprin heads.....

i really like those jigs great use for duck feathers i have a ton of feathers been collecting every ones in the neighbor hood. what did ya use to die the color in the feathers?

I Dye Some Feathers ,but Most Of My Feathers Come Already Dyed.barlow's,feathercraft And Other's Sell Dyed Mallard Flank Feathers.i Generally Use The Dyed Colors For The Back And Use The Natural Colors For The Belly Of The Jig.

Those look good love the duck...nice job

I was wondering what is the best dye to use on coloring duck feathers or any hair?I got a great supply to get duck feathers and different breeds.I am a duck hunter and the wife is a bird taxidermist.So feathers is no problem here.Most specially when she cleans out freezers.

I Use Cushing's Perfection Dyes.i've Used It To Dye Marabou,duck Feathers And Rooster Necks.i'm Sure It Will Work With Bucktails And Other Hair.

I'm just bringing these back to show someone here on cc what a flash duck is..

I like them suckers, send me a dozen and send the bill to grubfarmer!

Make it five dozen,I'm sure grubs is good for it,ain't that right grubs,ol buddy. lol

JJJ, I don't know how I missed these when you first posted this thread. I've got to say these are some of my favorites I've ever seen on this board. Granted I've only been watching for 6-9 months. If they catch crappie half as well as they look, I'm sure you do well fishing.

Add my name to Grubs' list. I'll take 3 dozen of each. I don't plan on a use'n dem rascals, but dey shore nuff look finer n a frog hair split 3 ways. Gotta love dat Grub.

JJJ, I made some of these in 1/32 with black heads and red thread for the throats and the fish were hammering them when nothing else seemed to work.

Nice jigs..... Have they caught and Crappie yet?

Very nice looking jigs.

Those are awesome. They'll DEFINITELY catch fish!;):)

Here are some flash ducks I posted on here a little after becoming a cdc member. Maybe these can give someone more ideas for tying them. I've changed them up more since then using palmer chenille for the throat which adds flash to the bait.CAT carries it and it's killer stuff to tie with.
