Here is another version of a doll fly, this is a 1/16oz walleye head with a size #4 hook, I tied in white craft fur along with some pearl flash for the body and then tied natural mallard flank on each side to give it the minnow look. I know it is hard to even tell if there is flash in the...

I put an order in on Saturday, I was wondering if you get an email when the stuff ships or does it just arrive? This is my first order and if everything goes right I'll be doing a lot more business there. I really liked Grandpa Bobs prices, but every order was a crap shoot, so I'm hoping Crazy...

The time is here for football to start, it is also time for my regular hair jig guys to start getting geared up for the cold water season. I have a lot of anglers that like using my weedless football jigs in the river, I used to just tie rabbit or buck tail and done but they were very effective...

Here is what I call a cool crappie jig, I call it cool as my buddy called me up and told me that the cool crappie jig I tied for him was really getting it done today. I took a pic of the jig before I gave it to him but I never posted it as it was pretty pedestrian but now that it got a thumbs up...

I was messing around with some different jigs today and this is the result, a 1/16oz jig done with a new color I made I like to call "crawrange" , it is a blend of candy orange, brown, clear, and just a bit of black. There is material you can't see in the pic but you do notice it in sunlight so...

I apologize if I missed something but now that Ron Don is back I got thinking about Fatman, he hasn't posted in awhile. Did I miss something like him going on vacation or having a health issue? I hope his health is ok so if anyone knows something I don't I'd appreciate it if they share that...

Here it is, the Grizzly Redman!!! I decided to try this out on a suggestion from Redman about using grizzly hackle wings on a buck tail jig. I have to admit that I like this look and now I have another jig to try when I hit the water later on this week. This is a 3/32oz walleye head with a size...

Here is my new bucktail jig, the "Quint Special", it is on a 3/32oz walleye head with a size #1 hook. The jig has an underbody of natural bucktail and black pearl flash, then black bucktail was tied over top and finished off with Guinea Fowl feathers on the sides as an attractor. I call it the...

Hey guys, I did a video on the rabbit hair minnow, it may be a help for those that are new to using zonkers.

Here are two crappie jigs I did today in color patterns that are new, well at least to me they are new. Both are 1/32oz ball jigs with a #6 hook, the top jig is painted watermelon red flake with dark olive hackle and black pearl flash for the tail and excelsior olive chenille for the body. The...

Here is a minnow I did with rabbit for finicky smallmouth, it is a simple split tail 1/16oz minnow head painted shad gray with black back and it uses a size #2 sickle hook. I split a regular cut chinchilla rabbit strip and tied it in to form the tail and then wrapped the remainder forward to the...

This is a copy of a jig I found on the web called a bluegill skunk, I changed it up and added my own twist and now it is a crappie skunk. This jig also borrows from StumpHunters 2 color chenille technique and it looks good to me, just have to see if the fish like it before I tie more. It is a...

This is a 1/16oz minnow head with size #2 hook, it is painted white with a holographic 3D eye. I used white craft hair on the top and bottom and then tied some in on both side but just sparsely, then I tied the duck feathers over the top on each side and then finished it off with some ghost...

I've been wanting to try the duck feathers for awhile and now that I finally got some feathers I've been at it every single moment I'm on the bench but I took a break to add in a rabbit jig that I haven't done in a long time. The rabbit jig is a 1/16oz walleye head with a #4 hook, I used black...

Well I tried it, so give me your honest opinion as to what I need to do and what I need to correct. These are 1/16oz collarless walleye heads, I cut the collar and then melted it off in my precision melter. The hook is a #4 and the feathers are from a sample bag of duck feathers I got from a...

This is just a simple jig to highlight some new material. The jig is a 1/16oz with a #4 hook painted black, I used black buck tail along with gray ghost pearl flash for the tail and bream chenille for the body. This is the first jig I tied using the gray ghost pearl flash and bream chenille and...

How do you guys like to tie them on a jig? Do you tie them in hands apart with the curve going in opposite directions or together? I'm asking as I really like the jigs some of you tie and I figured I'd give them a shot but I have no clue as to how to use them.

These are what I came up with today, I wanted to try the pheasant tail nymph but on a 1/32oz head with a #6 hook it wasn't going to look right so I did a combination tie. This is, as mentioned above, a 1/32oz jig with a #6 hook, it starts with a natural buck tail tail, I then used pheasant tail...

I did some tying today and figured I'd go with some slightly larger jigs, so I figured I'd do a few wooly bugger type jigs. The top one is a subtle bugger tied on a 1/16oz head with a #4 hook, it is simply a light furnace hackle tail with brown large size chenille and light furnace hackle tied...

I hit the bench again today for a bit and I decided to do a few more nymph type ties since all the stuff for them was already out. I used a 1/32oz head painted black and made a tail of black bucktail, after that I added fine rust dubbing for the body and since I didn't have silver tinsel I used...
