BIG & SMALL

I reworked a few shaky blade baits and replaced the stiff,thick split rings with a smaller size which will give them better movement. The bodies are c-cut bunny and palmer chenille,tails are hackle,flash and rubber combination. These weigh 1/4 oz. At the other end is a 1/64 chub with a #10 sickle tied hardbody style with a rabbit,midge flash and neon uni floss tail, and Holographic SH finish. I have a trip later this week that will feature trout fishing two rivers,smallies in another river and bass and crappie fishing some ponds over three days. Maybe these will fool a fish or two. If not, I have a few other things to try.View attachment 9View attachment 1View attachment 2View attachment 3

Nice work Jim! They all look like fish catchers to me!

Nice work Jim!!

They all are very good looking jigs.

All really nice ties!!!!!!!!!! Is the smaller split ring you changed to gonna cause any problems if you run into any BIG fish??? Hope you have a great time and catch a lot of fish!!!!!!!!

Man, those are neat. Those are the first of those I've seen.

Fm, the split rings are rated over 20 lbs and since I never go higher than 12 even on my bass gear the line should break before the swivel goes. Thanks everyone. I hope to have some pictures in the success column Friday night when I get back. With so many fishing opportunities of varying styles on this trip I'm having a hard time deciding what rods and tackle I need to take. Probably take four + a fly rod. I havn't fished a trout stream in almost two years so it will feel new for a bit.

Great lookin jigs & fantastic tyes Jungle

Looking forward to the pictures... Nice jigs.

Lookin Good

Hope you have plenty to take Pixes of

I sure do like the blade idea. Yes very nice!!! Can you buy those blades anywhere?

I'd bet my bottom dollar you can nail a striper on those . Like the idea . Good going there jungle .

Nice ties Jim.

Guys in my area fish chatterbaits in early spring. Those are nifty rabbit-n-hackle ties. Good stuff. :icon14:

These are chatterbait knock offs. Barlow's sells the heads and blade decals and used to sell the blades but I can't find them in their catalog now. The hooks are a 60 bend and heads resemble a banana, kinda. If anyone knows where to get these blades let me know. I want to try some on different style heads. I'm looking for some smaller blades like this as well, I know they have smaller 1/8 versions. I bought one and caught a lot of bass on it before losing it.

Looking good Jungle. You can get the blades at Lurepartsonline.

There's an ebay store that has something like that - Eaker Shakers??? I'll have to find the store name when I get home from work - the bags they had were made by Worth.

Thanks Ronnie. I'll check it out once I get back. Leaving in about six hours,need some sleep but not sleepy yet.
