Here are 2 craw style jigs I decided to do as I was working on cutting some magnum zonker strips down. I thought about the craw jigs and how many different ways there are to make them so I tied up two styles that I like. The top jig is a 3/32oz walleye head painted green pumpkin, it has a tail...

I made some jigs for a friend and he wanted strictly minnow type colors with nothing really dark so we came up with these and if you can't tell, these are tied on jigs made with Matzuo Sickle hooks, the guy I'm making these jigs for gave me 100 bronze sickle hooks for making him 2 dozen jigs...

I'm calling these skunk jigs because, as you can see they are black and white and it sort of reminds me of a skunk. These are made from craft fur I got from Michaels, the stuff is cheap and does it move in the water, so looking at the material I decided to make some jigs in black and white just...

This is a wool jig I tied using the same technique from the tutorial that Redear posted. It is a little different as I used a different jighead and different weight but this is a 3/32oz jig painted green pumpkin with olive wool and metallic green satin fibers tied in to make the jig. I found...

Ok, I'm really hooked after these last two just because I swam them around in a 5 gallon bucket after the pics and what everyone said about them is spot on! The profile is amazing, the wool swells and the satin really conforms to the profile making if very visible, heck, even my wife looked at...

Here are two jigs I did, both are the same with a small difference from one to the other. Both a 1/16oz walleye heads painted pumpkin brown, and both are tied using pumpkin brown colored wool, the only difference is the top jig has a few strands of black satin whlie the bottom jig has none...

Well it is official, I'm hooked on the wool and satin jig. I don't know what it is but it really does have a natural look, and like most of you I tank tested the jigs and they do take on a minnow shape no matter how you tie it. These are both 3/32oz walleye heads, the top jig is green pumpkin...

Give me some honest opinions on this as it is the first I did that is bass size and the first time using the satin fibers. First of all I had a hard time finding satin around my area, there is only a few mom and pop fabric places and they didn't have what I needed so I went to Michaels and found...

I had to take a pic of this when I finished it, I pieced together stuff from my scrap pile and basically didn't know what to tie with it until I tied in the red bucktail. I am going to fish this because it is ugly but when I tank tested it, there is no mistaking the profile, it actually looks...

I had to do this jig as the new back of feathers had this one that was all by itself and all I had made up was small trout size minnow heads so this is what I made. This jig is a 1/48oz minnow head painted white, the tail is black craft fur on the top and white craft fur on the bottom along with...

Here are 2 I just did with some new material I got from my trip to Michaels. The top jig is a 1/16oz walleye head painted white, it has a tail made with a chartreuse and white UV2 rabbit strip, the jig has an underbody of arctic ice chenille and finished off with white Creatology brand craft...

Ok, it finally got to me and so I ended up getting some wool roving from Michaels and I scored some nice feathers and craft fur too but that is besides the point. What I want to know now, before I get the satin is how are you tying the wool in? I saw the jigs and they look great but I have no...

Well we worked with different materials since I began teaching him and out of everything he likes the fish hair as it doesn't flair like bucktail. He wanted to try and make an effective jig with fish hair and I told him he could so we discussed it and this is what he came up with. Both jigs are...

These are the first ones of the new year and I decided to do some baitfish patterns using a walleye head instead of the minnow to make a different profile. The top jig is a 3/32oz walleye head painted shad gray, it has white bucktail and silver flash tied in for the tail and flourescent blue and...

I did a few using some new bucktail I got for Christmas! The top jig is 1/32oz painted shad gray with a black back, the tail is gray, flourescent blue, and black bucktail with some red and yellow hackle fibers for contrast and a black pearl chenille body. The bottom jig is 1/32oz painted shad...

Here we have 2 brown walleye heads, the top one is a 3/32oz rabbit hair jig. The tail is brown sculpin UV2 rabbit strip with gold flash and the lower body is orange rabbit with black tips while the upper body uses black rabbit with frosted orange tips to finish the jig off. The bottom one is an...

After seeing Bombora's octopus and squid ties it gave me an idea to try out and I really like the finished jigs. The top jig is a 1/16oz walleye head painted black, it has a tail of red and black silicone skirt material and black hackle. Once the tail material was tied in I used a black rabbit...

This is a 1/16oz caterpilliar tie as I wanted to try some new paint but my materials to use with it are on back order but the chenille worked so this is what I tied with it. The jig is a 1/16oz walleye head painted with silver vein paint and then tied with gray shad twisted chenille and black...

These are more of my D special modified bucktails, I now have 2 dozen of these tied up and they are going to a guide a few hours away that takes clients on winter smallmouth trips and he gives me a lot of honest feedback to what works and what doesn't so if the weather holds up for another week...

Here are two new jigs that I'm going to try, it is a variation of one I do now which I call the "D Special", which is basically a rabbit strip tail with a little chenille with some flash tied on just short of the head and then short bucktail tied on in a way that the flash of the chenille can...
