    Changes?

    Just ketchin' up with posts. I hope to be tying again soon, as I've missed it. Been through a divorce and a family fatality. Have a newer job with a career that I love. For the old guard who might remember me, I believe that you know that I'm relatively prolific with post submissions when...

    Chartreuse Jigs For Bass And Panfish

    Made a nice craft fur find at a local fabric store recently which inspired me to do some tying.  The fur is a fluorescent chartreuse color that seems comparable, to me, to the old Targus Foxx Fur.  I purchased a half yard of it.  It is a valuable and treasured find indeed!  A swatch of it...

    White Bass Jigs From A Throw Rug

    These are 1/8-ounce ball heads tied with some of the nicest craft fur I've ever used.  Found it at, of all places, a local Burlington Store among the throw rugs. The 24 x 36-inch rug (864 square inches) can be cut into 8 swatches measuring 9 x 12-inches (108 square inches).  This was a $10.99...

    Lizard

    This one's 7.5 inches long. Perhaps a smaller one should be tied for smallmouth bass, of maybe 4-5 inches in length. I'm hopeful that its tail floats well. The combination of dumbbell with googly eyes provides similar advantages to fishing a lightweight football jig. This could be fished as a...

    Floating Finesse Worms

    Will be back to tying jigs soon. In the meantime, here are three finesse-style worms tied for river smallmouth bass fishing.  Their major components are chenille yarn, latigo lace, craft fur and pony beads.  Remember well that pony beads float in water.  A fishing suggestion appears on the...

    Pony Bead Flukes

    Tied the lures below on latigo lace with craft fur tail material, a fluffy chenille yarn, and pony beads.  Pony beads come in a variety of colors and can be combined to produce interesting patterns.  These are designed to sink very slowly as their lace absorbs water.  Their sink rate may be...

    Photobucket

    All of my photo image links in posts are now obscured by a mask.  For only $400/year from me, we'll be able to see them again.  I'm sorry, but that's unlikely.  It's a little disturbing to me and definitely disappointing. How Photobucket is now shaking down its users I'll be using something...

    Worm Ties For Bass

    Just a preview of what I plan to post at my blog site. One is a firetail (pink/black), a classic worm for largemouth bass.  The other is a smaller offering that I've tied for smallmouth bass.  I look forward to fishing both of them. Save

    Bucktails

    Rarely do I tie bucktail jigs.  However, I'm often looking to expand my experience with materials, so I took a little time recently to tie a couple. Materials: Unpainted ball-head jigs weighing 3/16 and 1/4 of an ounce with 2/0 and 1/0 hooks, respectively. Rosey's Powder Coatings - Olive...
