I see some here are adding this to powder paint for some pretty good colors, and now it has my interest peaks but I need to ask a few questions. My first question is about curing, do you have any problems with curing? Do you have to go low heat for longer times or can you use the normal 350-15...

Here are my "Attica Fish Fly" jig, I call then that because the paint is the mix that AtticaFish came up with using the baby bass green and all the different glitter/clear colors. I know you can't really see it in the pics but the color on the heads came out great, I did alter the color a bit by...

I really liked Pup's leggy jigs and Fatman's version as well so I dicided to do a couple myself, they didn't come out as nice but they'll work. These are 1/8oz Weedless football jigs, the top jig is painted watermelon and has a tail of olive craft fur and olive trilobal antron chenille for the...

This is a normal rabbit hair jig that I prefer over the umbrella style but I have to admit that the umbrella style works well in a river enviroment. Anyway, this is the more traditional stle with a longer tapered body, this jig is going to be a craw imitator and will hopefully get bit when I get...

These are one of the first rabbit jigs I learned how to tie for river smallies specifically, they feature a single long tail with a short body, the thinking is that having a larger body with long thin tail makes the jig resemble a sculpin, I'm not sure about that but they do work well. The top...

Well my friends liked my last "dobson fly" jig that I made 4 for myself and a little over 2 dozen for friends and it got me thinking about winged insects that fall in the water occasionally and so I came up with these. I want to know if you prefer the "wings out" on the right side or the "wings...

Here are a couple of jigs I wanted to do ever since I saw Fatman's version of them which I really liked, the "Doll Fly"!! I did these on weedless ball jigs in 1/8oz but I'm going to do some more on a 1/16oz sometime in the future. I did these in 2 different styles, the top jig white bucktail...

This is a different way of doing this jig, you tie the wings in with a little more cup but you have to have the right kind of hackle to make it look right and when I found the right ones I decided to do one. When I say the hackle has to be right I mean it has have no gaps in the barbs and these...

I had to do this in 2 pics as I can't get the top and bottom in 1 picture but you need to see both to really get an idea of the paint job. This isn't a big swim jig, it is a 3/16oz with a 35 strand skirt, the "perch pattern is all powder paint and is 4 colors. The bottom of the jig is white with...

These are just simple craft fur ties in a classic chartreuse and white color scheme. The top jig ia a 1/8oz weedless ball jig painted white, it has white craft fur with just a few sparse strands of black craft fur tied in over silver flash and finished with chartreuse craft fur over top. The...

Here are a couple of my larger jigs I did with craft fur, these are the same except for the size, the top jig is a 1/8oz weedless round head jig while the bottom is a 3/16oz weedlees round head jig and both have size 2/0 60 degree flat eye hooks. The jigs have a base of olive craft fur with a...

I'm officially calling these "Pup style jig" unless he gets mad, but they are direct copies of the way he ties craft fur to ball head jigs, I just do it slightly different but not much. I even went and had soft plastic 3" trout worms poured for me in green pumpkin and black so I can use them as...

I really like the craft fur ties that Pup does on the round head jigs and that got me thinking so I decided to give it a go. These are both the same except I did one with a normal amount of craft fur and the bottom I made it more full because I was able to use up the patch of fur instead of...

I got the idea from the thing-a-ma-jig I tied last week, my buddy saw it when we were fishing and said to me that if the hackle was straight instead of the "hands apart" style it would look sort of like a dobson fly. For those that don't know what a dobson fly is, well it is nothing but a...

Well I hit the water today with a friend, the day stayed cooler than we expected and the water temp actually dropped 4 degrees from Saturday and didn't warm up until 2pm. It didn't matter as I got the only fish of the trip and I got it when the water temp went from 39 to 41 when we went into a...

Tying up some more boring hair jigs for the conditions I'm going to face on Sunday if I get out. I posted these because out of all the patterns I don't recall doing the watermelon/black with olive thread and the fact that my buddy who I'm going with wanted a bunch when he saw it because...

My wife had the bottom of her shoe blow out so we had to go to the mall and watching her pick out shoes is worse than watching garss grow, my God how many times does a woman have to look at the same pair of shoes before they decide to buy them. Anyway, since the store she was at had a 20% sale...

I had some free time and I was going to tie a few more jigs for myself thinking I may get out on Saturday or Sunday but as I getting my stuff out I dropped a bag of hackle and just picked it up and put it away and as I got my thread base down I noticed some feathers laying so I decided instead...

Yea or Nay, I did some more small bucktails in the "rootbeer jig" style for myself since my friends are wanting to try them as much as I do. Well I really liked the look of adding the pheasant as a collar both dry and wet and I bet they will be great in the sun so this is what I decided to...

Here is the best picture I could get showing my new color. I am now getting into this making my own color thing using glitter which I never really thought about before joining this website as I just used the protec glitter. So, after watching Fatman, AtticaFish, Lost Pole and the rest of the...
