Felt like tying with feathers recently and came up with this little footballer.

Materials:
  • Brown saddle hackles (4)
  • Barred brown saddle hackles (2)
  • Brown craft fur
  • Number 6 bulky caramel-colored chenille yarn
  • Number 5 dark brown chenille yarn
  • Flat wax nylon thread (140 denier) - rusty brown
  • A 1/8-oz. football head jig with a 3/0 black nickel hook
Did a little web surfing recently and found a discussion of hair jigs made by the Jack Crawford Tackle Company. It was interesting to me. If I can find some color plates of the jigs, then perhaps I can create some very similar paint, feather, and fur combinations. Will definitely tie more of my own creation too.

SB, Maybe I'll wet it and snap a photo. However, it's been spoken for. If the person who will soon own it says OK, then will try to post a pic tomorrow evening.

I should make a video of another jig, tied just like this one, at the end of a line inside of a water tank.

Great tie. Yes remember the Jack Crawford jigs and think that you got it nailed down tight. Remember that he used a lot of Yellow, Greens and Reds. They were very popular back in the 1970's. And yes they did catch fish.
