I have all the materials and can make them pretty easy and I am sure the bream would like them as probably would the crappie. I just like the action I get from a feather tail. Not that I wouldn't tie some to try, but them finding there way on my line is another thing. Confidence is a huge thing and I have confidence in feathers.
I did make some the had some of that coming off behind the head as legs, but still had the feather tail.

Here is a picture of what I mean....

I do think this was a 1/32, but I have all the way down to a 1/80 oz.
I have seen something similar here but the store in now closed. Were a black body and white tail or a red body and yellow tail. Not exactly the same but looked really close. I like those colors better
You mean the ones in the pic, or the ones in the store ?Quote:

I'll see if I can get a pict and post what I've been doing.
Where in ohio are you located?
When Gofishohio - Ohio fishing reports, lake maps, Angler's Forum, Ohio fishing information, state record fish, boating info, Fish Ohio Awards. was up and running there were a few guys on there that did them. Try posting this question on the Ohio board and see if they are still doing that. I'll bet Speckwick knows or check with Carl (Big Daddy on gofishohio) I know that website is no longer active, but I recognize a few of the names who found this forum. I hope Mangini gets it right! Go Browns!!!!
I tie something similar to these only i have about 6-8 strands of the silicone skirt in the tail.I call them rubberbutts and make them in sizes up to 1/16.They have really good action with the legs flaring out in the water.They will catch fish...
I have seen some that are simmilar to that i have tied a few that are like that as well...
AtticaFish- Lima area, as for using silicone, yea that will work somewhat, but it seams kinda fragile, compared to the round rubber skirt material, which is tuff stuff. And jannsnetcraft, has it cheap.
shipahoy- I believe, not sure, that gofishohio, is now ohiogamefishing.com. Have seen the name Bigdaddy, mentioned on there many times. Visit that web site often, if not here. And have shown these jigs on there, but did'nt get much of a stir.
As for the Browns, i Hope, like they say, Every Dog Has Its Day.
I remember seeing those type jigs befor but only the white and black ones. A friend of my Uncle was from Toledo and he always had some when he came to fish in NY

I have tied jigs just like those on 1/64 and 1/32 oz heads. Catch a lot of bluegills and red ear on them.
Are the "legs" coming off the back soft? I came across a couple of marabou plumes I had pulled everything off and all was left was the thick quill or center thing. Resembled a cat's whisker but a little thicker. Maybe a source for the tail leg thingy's? Just a thought.
The legs on those jigs are soft.If you have a spare spinnerbait skirt use the strands from that and tie up a few. These legs are silicone rubber skirt tabs which you can get at Barlow's,Stamina and Netcraft.There are hundreds of colors to choose from.I tie with this stuff all the time.You can use different amounts of strands and mix the colors.The skirt tabs are made for bass jigs and spinnerbaits but slabs will eat it too,and it stretches and very durable.
Living Rubber Company, Living Rubber & Silicone skirting material
This is where I get my living rubber from. Lots of colors and is a direct distributor. Bulk is really inexpensive but is a lot of material if you don't make skirts for bass.
These jigs remind me of beetle spins, but with out the spin. I like the look of them. Have you fished them alot? By your first post, I take it you do well with them in Ohio?

To answere your ? YES & YES, have caught gills, crappie & yellow perch on them. First time i saw these was about 5 years ago at a tackle/ bait shop at Indian Lake, Ohio. Bought a couple, and started tying my own.Quote:

The legs on the back of the jigs are Round Rubber skirt material, i got from jannsnetcraft. You can by it by the ounce from them, but that is alot, or they also have a sample pack, with different colors. That, i think would be the way to go, if you just wanted to try the jigs.Quote:

Fish, you can put the legs out the front just like a Bitch Creek fly.It will kill crappies and gills.There's a lot you can do with rubber legs.
I have tied them with the legs coming out right behind the head before, and they do work. But i like just using the tail legs, catch more crappie and perch with them that way. But Big gills like that spider look sometimes.Quote:
