Crawdad Tutorial
Ok, a couple of members asked to see a tutorial, this is how i make them:
Paint the jighead the color of your choice, start a thread base, and tie in some bucktail or hair of your choice. ![]() Prepare the eyes: I used 30 lb red mono . put the mono near a heat source ( i used my alchohol lamp) keep rotating the mono getting it near the heat then backing out until you get the eyes to your liking: ![]() Tie in your eyes so they are facing down towards the hook: ![]() Tie in your Claw Material ( i used orange rabbit strips for this tutorial) ![]() ![]() wrap back towards the head, and apply head cement or your choice to lock it in: ![]() tie in rubber tenacles of your choice: ![]() Tie in flash of your choice ( i used one doubled strand of shrimp): ![]() Tie in your chenille, wrap the chenille, and whip finish: ![]() ![]() Enjoy your new craw: ![]() |

RE: Crawdad Tutorial
Crappie Happy,
Thank You for the tutorial. I am going to try and make some of these. So pardon my ignorance, because I am not a jig tyer, I only make bass jigs. With that said, I have a few questions if you don't mind answering or if anyone else wants to reply every little knowledge will help me. #1 How is the chenille applied? #2 Do you tie it first and then fold it over and then start wrapping it? #3 When you get done wrapping it how do you tie off the end? #4 I assume that once you tie off the end, you cut the rest of the chenille off? #5 Finally is there just one size of chenille? Sorry for all the questions. If it is easier, maybe there is a link for a tutorial on applying chenille that you can send me or someting on You Tube? Thanks for any and all help guys.
