Purple and White

Here are a few jigs I'm tying for my best friend. I was telling him about the wool and satin jigs I was reading about and learning to tie. Just like me he is pretty anxious to get on the water and try them out.

Nice ties Andy!!!!!! Is that a transparent purple???

Really nice Andy. Is that the dry profile? Nice and slim.

Thanks! I tied in some white satin over the wool first. It is translucent and flashy. The purple is not. It is the dull solid strands I pulled from the other direction on the white fabric then colored purple. I have some purple fabric but it is a lighter color and for these I wanted it to match the color of the heads. Bombora they are flared out a little more when they are completely dry. I don't dunk each one but I dip my fingers in water and pull the strands back before they go on the rack.

Man I really like these. I keep seeing them and wondered if there is a thread that shows how to tie them? They look great.

Andy let us know how the coloring works out!!

I haven't had a chance to go pick up some fabric markers so I tried using what I had. I found out that the sharpie markers won't work very well. I tied a couple with some satin I colored red and some white strands. I dunked em in water and hung them up. I looked at them later on and the white had turned pink which kinda surprises me with them being permanent markers. On the other hand I dunked one of the purple ones I did in water and it didnt bleed. With the purple ones I used one of my Infinity brand Metallic permanent markers. I can use these markers for now but I think Im just going to buy the colors of fabric I need and be done. Although I can use markers to make some multi-colored strands for some type of rainbow jigs or funky chickens or electric chickens or whatever it is the kids are calling them these days.

Thanks for the info Andy!!

Really nice jigs!!

I like the looks if thos'uns!
Junebug paint thinned with clear?
Great jigs

O yes!! Awesome tied jigs and the colors are nice together.

Those look sick. I've always had great luck on lures with purple accents. Lots of baitfish like shad and alewives have a purple shimmer to them. Those jigs will catch fish.

nice work!

those will work! and a great job on those too!! perfect profile.

Excellent tyes - gr8 b8s
