A Swim Jig For Schooling Shad Situations

[Pup]

Earlier this month, I purchased a "new-to-me" eyelash yarn from Jo Ann Fabrics. It's called Lion Brand Fun Fur Exotic. The color is "silver fox". This material moves nicely in the water. Its silver color is very shiny.

I've combined it with a multi-toned gray craft fur that I purchased from Jo Ann on the same day. Visually, I like the pattern's appearance and its looks in water.

Pictured below are simple craft fur ties on the left as well as my shad-styled swim jigs. The jigs are 1/8-ounce with #2 hooks.



Have had initial success with the swim jigs on largemouth bass in Eagle Creek Reservoir of Indianapolis.

Does look like a good color, lots of light reflecting off of it. Should match up the bright flash of shad well.

If you could figure out how to put a black dot behind the head,them fish would take yours instead of the lively ones for sure.P.S. let me know how you do it,lol.

I'm a total believer in flash & shimmer for baitfish imitations.

As a fellow old school KISS tie-er, would just the yarn tie work?

Might try punching dot out of electrical tape . Stick them to the thread collar and clear coat over them. Good work keep them coming .

Nice ties, I can see many different fish hitting those.

Thank you for your comments Everyone.

I've fished yarn only ties for several species of fish. They work fine for me, but are better with a trailer at times.
