These are 1/16oz minnow heads with a #4 hook painted in a "mud minnow" or fathead minnow pattern. I tied in barred UV predator wrap in first for flash and then white marabou for the body and fished with olive brown marabou over top for color and bulk. These are going to be used in the next two...

Water temps are getting close to 50 here but a cold front next week will put the fish in a state of lock jaw so I figured I'd tie a few of these to see if we can't coax a bite should that scenario take place. This is a 1/16oz dark watermelon ball jig with a #2 sickle hook, I tied in 2 small...

I just got some new material to try out for minnow jigs and so I tied a couple out to see how this stuff might work out. The material is a product called "Senyo's Barred Predator wrap", it is sort of like the hackle flash but longer and on a small jig you only need a single wrap to get a nice...

Well I finally tied something!! I've been checking in from time to time but I just wasn't tying jigs as I have been making swim bait heads and bass jigs and spinnerbaits, the last few months. Anyway, I had a friend that has done well on some jigs I tied for him and it was time to replenish his...

I did some simple minnow patterns with the new craft fur and I' happy with the way they turned out. These are both 1/16oz ball heads with a size #2 hook, the top one is a white head, with white craft fur tied on first and then black frost craft fur tied around the white core with a little pearl...

Here is a couple of craft fur jigs I did with some new material I got. The jigs are both 1/16oz with a size #2 sickle hook, the top jig is black while the bottom is watermelon. I tried to have these as the same pattern in 2 different jigs, the top one I used more material to make it fuller to be...

Is this black or what? I did this wanting a black marabou jig but I also wanted to see how a new material I got works and so far I like it. The material is new to me but some of you guys may have used it, the material is a chenille, it is called Jay Fair's long shuck. The jig is a 1/16oz black...

It has been awhile since I messed with spinning deer hair, I was making my hairy back sculpin and I discovered that it was a fish catching machine and I kept it hidden since then but over time I've been tweaking it and this picture is what I came up with. It is a 1/8oz weedless ball jig with a...

Yes, another jig rises from the scrap bucket for the viewing pleasure of a tight lipped smallie!!! This one is a 1/16oz ball jig with a size #2 sickle hook and is painted watermelon. The tail is a dark olive rabbit strip surrounded by medium olive UV2 Marabou with a few strands of pearl...

Here is a different one I thought I'd post, the person that wanted these, a friend of a friend, was specific on color and he would not tell me what he was using them for or where he was going to use them so I made some for my self to experiment with!! The jigs he got were the same here but the...

MicroLon, I'll put the link up and when you go to the page click on the video, this stuff looks great and with the cyber Monday sale they are going to put on I'm grabbing it so if anyone is interested about I'll give detail on how it is to work with...

I made a bunch of these for a friend that is going after brown trout, I guess they are pretty big as these are what he wanted. These are all 1/16oz ball head jigs with a size #2 sickle hook, and all the marabou is tied in hackle style. The top jig is white with both white and black marabou with...

I tied these up now that the weather is cold, most of my float-n-fly jigs are tied on a minnow head but the walleye head works great too so that is what I decided to make these on. Both are 1/16oz walleye heads with a size #4 sickle hook, the top one is painted white and has some pearl flash...

These are the first ones I tied this year, a friend called me today and asked for a dozen, 6 of each. These are 1/8oz weedless football jigs with a 1/0 Mustad 32786 hook, the top jig is painted copperhead and it is tied with brown silicone, brown buck tail and copper flash. The bottom jig is...
