Jungle Jim, like those White crappie , trout jigs. Love the eyes! Yep, on those days like New Year’s Eve when all the crazy’s are out, I stay home and tie a few jigs. Here’s a few morsels for pike and Musky. 3/4 oz. Swimmer head painted, 8/0 ultra point, clear coat, with deer tail, hackle...

I fish Musky, so my creature spins are built for musky and pike. But boy, do I catch some dandy largemouth on them. Occasionally a big walleye, and a few smallies. The jig heads I use for the creature spins are stand-up in 1/2, and 3/4 ounce, or the pictured 3/4 oz. swim jig. Usually fish these...

Here’s a pic of some of my custom creature spins used for musky and pike. Of course the wire is threaded thru the plastic W/ ball bearing swivel in rear. These jigs capable of a 6/0 thru 9/0 Mustad ultra point swim bait hook!

depending how far back you want the blade to spin, either just attach a snap swivel over the hook with the rubber tube material you would use for a trailer hook on a spinnerbait, or a solid ring over the hook with this same rubber tubing, or the dipping rubber material they carry at a hardware...

hawn, that’s what I use for plastics and a Jig. Simple small bead of Super Glue. Stealthy and Clean. No problems attaching another plastic dressing. A simple couple strokes with a file removes any remaining glue off jig! Creature man 🦎

Sounds like a beetle spin. But 1/8 th oz. Jig May be very difficult to get to run straight. A super small blade I’d guess would be in order. Usually you can get beetle spin wires from eBay or possibly Barlows. My guess the smallest head on a beetle spin is probably 1/4 up to 3/8 th oz. head...

if you can find some 49 strand. Not sure the lightest test they make. U can tie a jig loop knot, and not have the snap and crimp. If anything will detour bites, it’s the crimp and snap. on the front side, find a small solid ring to tie to line and leader! Been using wire for years fishing bass...

Smear some Super Glue on collar. Push plastic dressing up to jig head and hold for a minute. Really no need to mess around with wire. Don’t get caught with your pants down….sort of speak🫣. Carry a tube of super glue….enough said!

That’s a piece of art right there QP, great job!

Spoon, you are correct when calling a plastic, creature, vague! Back in the 70’s when creature fishing seemed to be introduced , pretty much all large plastic baits were called Creatures. I think the originators wanted it that way, to keep the technique secretive. My idea of a creature was any...

Yawn; haven’t fished creatures at night lately. When I did, it was yellows for weed edge walleye up in Northern WI. My jig fishing is more timed in spring, than late in fall again for the skis. Mostly troll the summer months, so not much jig fishing lately. Season has been decent. Closing in on...

Have Not posted here in a while. Few buddies were asking for these Glow paddle tails for Big lakers on the Great Lakes and Canada. Not Much light penetration where the lakers like to hang Deep, so these glows seem to shine😉 That 3/4 oz. Swimmer Head works well in those stony areas those lakers...

Great job on those jigs! Really like that Matzuo Sickle hook also! JD
