Was inspired by Pups feather worm in previous post. I love to catch huge gills and quite by accident long time ago discovered that big gills love tiny leeches. Was walleye fishing at Mosquito Lake here in Ohio and was pounding them on large leeches. Well the bigger ones of the original 2 dozen...

Tied up some aspirin head I got from Rondon an JungleJim. I used Reds wool jig pattern on 5 of them the one in the middle on the right is using commercial Rams wool. Pearlescent and satin on all of them also. Used glitter fingernail polish silver to give some of them a scale effect. Sealed...

May have committed a cardinal ebay sin. Noticed this seller CNC-WORKS selling nice looking molds on ebay. I used ebay's ask seller a question and asked him to give jigcraft a check out. Explained to him how many of us at one time or another could use or want a custom mold. As far as I know I...

Just in case somebody has one they would want to get rid of. Nothing larger than 1/8 oz . Keep waiting for Do-It to add it to their line but figuring will be pushing up daisies by the time they wake up.[/size]

These I tied up using varying materials Using Reds basic idea but trying rabbit along with the satin and such. The little plug in the middle is a Yo-Zuri snap bean. They come two to a pack and its the larger one of the two. This is what I picked at Joann'c fabric that day thinking it was...

Jiggerjohn ' s pendulum rig has been keeping me busy. Thank god because ice fishing has been a big let down again this year. These videos were taken in my little aquarium test tank. I have taken JJ's idea and expanded a little on it. One of my favorite ways to catch crappie has been to troll...

Been reading and looking at these things for a couple of months now But for some reason have failed to order the supplies. If they have been discussed on here before I haven't seen it. From most of the people who have used them they all rave on them. Some fly tying purists refuse to admit they...

These are easy to tie but are to be used with Jiggerjohn's pendulum rig. Since they are weightless and would float other wise. I may try on fly rod just to see if it would work as a surface lure. But I don't think so. As it will probably float on its side. I ties one on a #8 one on a # 4 and...

Since Ohio is going thru another warm winter and has put a severe cramp in my ice fishing hopes. I have been busy playing with the chrominids and Reds wool jigs. Upon studying the chrominids a little closer I discovered that the actual body of the fly is really thin. So on the newer ones I...

While trying to sort out a 65 year old mess that passes for my fishing tackle collection. I stumbled across my old trout fishing vest. Inside the pockets I found a 1/2 pack of Kools , Cigarette lighter and a box of chiromonids. I quit smoking 5 years ago so its been MIA or at least 5 years. As...

No not the band or its music. I am too old to even consider liking their music. Just some plated heads I decided to tie up for upcoming ice season Haven't tried these yet but hope springs eternal. Used bunnybou , regular zonker strips and some rubber legs here and there. Heads came from...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL !! As part of my tradition of getting ready for ice season. I always tie up a few more ice bugs. To give idea on size I put a #12 swivel there in the center. I have been making these for a long time but just in the last few years figured out why they are so deadly. If...

Little movie to show why ice flea works so great. If you look real hard you can see how little movement is needed to make flea dance. My hands are caught in the reflection of the aquarium. these colors are little flashier than what I normally use for fleas but they still work. Figured the...

After the big bust last year the dam is ready to break on my energy on ice fishing this year. Got some Jawjackers to try ( new type tip up ) , re-modified my two man Clam , removed the factory seating which added a lot of weight and decided to go wit little fold up stool. Probably saved at least...

Even if you do not ice fish or can't you will want to have in your arsenal. I know this critter works , on certain days will even outfish the pinmins. Historically I have caught the following species on it crappie , gills ,perch in high numbers and some odd ball non- target species but fewer of...

These were tied with a material that I have no idea where it came from. The tail material is what I am talking about. Once tied I tested in water tank and movement of material in water is less than rabbit fur but more than kiptail. It comes in pack that reminds you of craft hair but it is more...

Borrowed a few idea I have seen here and came up with a different twist. but only slightly. Tied some rubber tails with duck flanks and a few with chicken hackle. Have yet to test these but will very soon. That's a # 7 barrel swivel to give idea on size. Used mono thread to tie and pens for...

:beat-up: While the debate rages between the two warring camps about the national debt. Numbers like TRILLION AND BILLION have no meaning to me what so ever. The only time I have seen a check or a bill with more than 4 zeroes to the left of the decimal point. Is an insurance settlement check...

Strategic Fishing Systems has come out with a computer program titled Contour Elite. I rad about this before but was only mildly interested as Ohio was not on their list of states. Well this year they came out with an Ohio/ Indiana version. I ordered it as soon as it became available. This...

:@:@ I am so conservative that I make Republicans blush. So I am certainly no fan of Hillary Rodham Clinton. But it made by blood boil when watching the news clips of her motorcade in Egypt. Why in the world ( especially since we are broke ourselves ) do we send billions of foreign aid to...
