jj mentioned how similar the satin jigs were to my flash ducks so this morning while waiting for it to warm up a little before getting out I tied up 15. 1/32 and 1/24 in 6 & 8's. Got a box full now and might just take these and nothing else after an early lunch. Some blacklight photos of the...

I tied up a dozen today on a 1/32 #6 sickle. Simple tie using a combination of thread, uni- floss and white satin. On some I used a fl.yellow highlighter and colored up a small patch of satin and used the fibers on top. It colored up nice and I'll check to see if the color holds up in water...

Here are some 1/64 chubs on #8 and #10 hooks that I tied up using natural wool roving,white and green satin tied with 70 ultra thread.After tying I trimmed the wool for a minnow profile just like was said in JJ's thread although I tied the wool in differently. Took some pictures of the jigs as...

I picked these up at Cabelas yesterday and tied two after installing the eyes last night. These are the large size olive meant for 1-2/0 fly hooks but since I didn't have any that size I used a couple 30 degree swim jig hooks. The helmets weigh about 1/11 oz and finished these weigh over 1/8 oz...

Wife was off today and as soon as she woke up this morning mentioned she had a headache and knowing how she can be I took it as a cue and made my exit. Armed with a couple gift cards I got for my birthday,a $25 BP and $50 Cabela's I headed out,Bass Pro was my first stop. In the Fly shop I was...

I bought a few thousand props from Worth and thought I'd try something different with them. Why not put eyes on them? I used flat eyes on them.2mm for the small ones and 3mm for the mediums. After they were installed I clearcoated them with np. Tyed up a couple baits as well.Finished bait is a...

For you flytyers who want to try tungsten beads I have two sizes in 3mm and 3.5 mm in four differnt colors.I'd like to trade straight up for some fly hooks. Looking for small nymph or scud hooks in #10- #14, no bigger than 2x long. I want to tie some flies with these beads but don't have any in...

I picked up an issue of In fisherman magazine recently along with the 2013 Ice fishing issue because I saw a couple articles that caught my eye concerning guys using tungsten beads with their hand tied jigs so they sink faster and get down to the fish quicker,catching tons of fish with them...

Thes are 1/64 chubs on #10 sickles.the eyes are 3mm rainbow or crystal AB eyes superglued in place. Some were made a few days ago and were meant to be tested but the pink one that I tied on was the only one to hit the water because small bass,crappie,gills and trout were jumping on it. Sorry,no...

These are a little heavier than 1/16,weigh in at .075.They are very well balanced,actually stand up. Hackle tails,palmer chenille wrapped over chenille,they eyes were painted using acrylic paint pens,lot less smell than vinyl jig paint.

These are 1/16 chub heads with a #4 red or black nickle sickle hook,heads have three colors of powder paint and have 4mm krystal AB eyes. I do the underbody with Polar flash,mallard flank over that with just enough mallard so the flash barely shines through and finish off with a hackle throat...

I havn't made any for awhile so this morning tied up a dozen,four of each color shown. These weigh 3/16 and were tied on a Mustad 91768 2/0 jig hook.I poured these with my wacky jig mold. Tails are a combination of silicone rubber,krystal flash and two colors of hackle. Body's are crosscut...

These were tied using a little flash and badger and grizzly hackle tips, a very simple tie with leftover tips that I had been saving. I dyed all the feathers myself when they were still on the skin. Hook is a #10 sickle. With the water getting cold here lately the fish have been wanting a snack...

These are 1/16 pillheads with hackle tails and palmer chenille wrapped over the chenille bodies. First pic has something new that I tried today called AB CRYSTAL 4MM RHINESTONES. These reflect light in all directions and seem to change color,depending on the color of paint used. I was looking...

I bought these tiny jigs off ebay a few years ago. They listed the weight at 1/128,#14 hook. When I removed the collar on some they weigh 1/180 on my digital scale. Local lake has ton's of fry,probably from a late spawn that are about 3/4 inch long and since most jigs are bigger than 1/2 long...

When I was in California a couple weeks ago I poured some football heads from a Collin's custom mold that Sonny has. Heads are 1/8 and 1/4 oz. The hooks are Gamakatsu 5941's in 5/0, a really heavy duty hook that actually weighs .04 or 1/25th oz. each. Finished weight on the 1/4 oz was actually...
