For those familiar with Grandpa Bobs, keep an eye out, I spoke with him last night and he is going to have new jig heads coming with some new chenilles as well as powder paint but only a few colors to start with but it sounds like some good ones. He also said prices are going to be in line with...

I've always wanted to do a nymph so I figured while I had some small heads poured I might as well give it a go. The both of these are 1/32oz heads with a size #6 hook , the bottom one is tied similar to a nymph but it really isn't as I decided to use chenille but I did use soft hackle. The first...

Here are a couple of bugs I did on a 1/32oz head with a size #6 hook. The fist one is just a simple black jig with black hackle and gold flash for the tail, anthracite chenille for the body and a black hackle feather tied bugger style just because it was too plain. The second one is the same...

Give me an honest opinion guys, this is something I came up with while looking at all kinds of tied jigs from here and other places on the web. I call this my crappie craw, it is a 1/16oz jig with no collar so I'm guess it is closer to 1/32, maybe 1/24, anyway it uses a #6 hook and what I did...

Here are some minnows I just did today, these are all bass minnows designed to fished float and fly style. The jigs are all 1/16oz with #1 hooks and use hackle and flash for the tails and chenille bodies. The bottom jig has the 2 different color chenilles like in Stumphunters tutorial, I wanted...

Hey guys, I just put in a big order at Grandpa Bobs as I'm gearing up to start tying hair jigs again now that I'm caught up on bass jigs. Anyway I decided to get some things I'm not familiar with and one was gold tinsel and I want to know what kind of things you use it for. I have used silver on...

It has been awhile since I posted any jigs, I didn't quit tying, instead I've been just flat out busy tying silicone bass jigs, most have been 1/8oz finesse jigs but lately it has been 5/16oz and 3/8oz Eakins style weedless round heads, over 200 and still going but the water was muddy from rain...

I was wondering if any of you saw the new material at Barlows, they have speckled flashabou now and some other kind too but the real find is the Arctic goat hair and the Temple fox hair. The goat hair is described as to be flowing in the water while the temple fox is the same as arctic fox with...

Here are some of the " hair" jigs I've been doing as the summer begins to approach. I haven't been tying to much hair as most of what I'm making is regular bass jigs with all silicone but I love doing this style too and it is a common one for summer smallies as the silicone adds action and bulk...

After seeing Andylane's turkey jig I figured I'd try something from the flying insect world for a change. I did this one similar to my dobson fly only I did the body different. This is a 1/8oz ball head jig, the tail is black and white bucktail with some silver flash, the body is done with 3...

Here is a copy of jigs done by AtticaFish which can be found in the gallery, I haven't been on but a few minutes here and there as I'm getting some fishing in but also making a lot of bass tackle right now for people. Anyway, I got a break so I needed to tie something and having bass on the mind...

Here is another version of the Rootbeer jig, Fatman did one awhile back and I really liked it and it did prove deadly on big smallies in cold water so I made some only this time it is a little different. Both jigs are the same, they are 1/8oz weedless football heads instead of the round heads I...

This is a pattern I've been working on, not so much the material but the color. I call it chartreuse splatter black as it is chartreuse with black sprinkled on in a way that makes it appear that is just splattered on. I always got too much black on until now, and I don't know why I didn't think...

I was asked to make some craws for a friend so I got all the info on what he wanted and they are completely different, a half dozen of each so I took a pic to show you just how different. The both jigs are 1/8oz round head with 60 degree flat eye hook. The top jig is watermelon red flake and has...

Pup did a jig similar to this called the hairy worm after the lure Dan Gapen made in the 60's called the hairy worm. They aren't fancy but they are effective. Both of the jigs are the same except the top one has a different color in the mix, these are weedless 1/8oz ball jigs painted brown with...

After seeing these types of jigs over and over I decided to finally try a couple only they would be on a larger scale. The top jig is 1/8oz ball head jig painted black with a tail made of white craft fur and chinchilla hackle feathers and a body done with black and red 210 denier Danville...

Here is a new green pumpkin variation I did, I wish there was a way that I could get true color to come out on a monitor but being able to take a good picture would help. This is my green pumpkin with onyx glitter, it is 2 parts HF matte black, 2 parts brown, 2 parts clear, 1 part yellow...

Hairy B's which is short for bucktails!! These are what I did just messing around today and I have a few hackle feathers that I wanted to use up so ere is what came out of it. The both of these are 1/16oz ball jigs, the top jig is paintd in a custom color I call mirror ball as it has silver...

Thank you Fatman for my new addiction, I also need to thank AttciaFish and StumpHunter as well for this. I'm now getting clear plastic jars and I'm mixing custom colors, I've done it a little bit when I couldn't find a color like green pumpkin or shad gray but this is new. I was looking at...
