Just another one of my off the wall creations. Wanted to see if anyone likes the concept and maybe the colors. I tried it out in water and when you stop the tail flares up and out nicely. Didn't seem to matter if I jigged it up and down or pulled forward it still flared pretty well and more up them behind.
Maybe sooner or later I will tie some more conventional ones. :D

Very cool you are an artist.
Hopefully not a starving artist when nothing I have tied will catch a fish.Quote:

Embroidery floss is what the body is made of; crocheted like I do on most of my jigs.
ahhhh you can keep that...tryed it a few times and i started throwing stuff across the room and the wife got alil up set....i made you a grass hopper that i think looks real as it gets...ill post the pics of it in the morning
I like it and the colors. Nice work.

That's a winner,there's some lakes around here I could do some damage with stuff like that.Great job!!!!!!!!!
I figured the colors would be a bad point, never thought they would be the right ones. Guess I finally have a winner. Is it more of a bream or cracker coloration or is it good colors for crappie?
Fish it, see what happens
That is very cool...
fish how long does it take to tie one of them up? im about to post the pic of the big bug i made and let me know what you think
Is faster than the sickle butt but I haven't times it yet. Probably 4-6 an hour. I know, still too much effort for a jig that will HOPEFULLY be chomped by a fish but worth the effort to me.
I gotta get some glow lace material and tie some with it so that only the crochet ribs show through bright and dull down the main body of the glow with something.
