Ball Head Jig-N-Worm

[Pup]

Tied this jig-n-worm on a 1/8-ounce ball head with a #2 hook. Its total length is about 5.0 inches.



Materials:

• Darice Craft Fur - orange
• Lion Brand Suede (#5 chenille yarn) - coffee
• Bungee cord rubber - 1/8 of an inch wide
• UTC Ultra Thread (140 denier) - dark brown
• Harbor Freight Powder Paint - brown-colored mixture

Plan to fish this one as a bottom bouncer for river smallmouth bass.

I would love to see a step-by step tutorial on this!!!

That one looks great too. That head color is nice, did you mix the color. I have not seen a brown paint at our HF yet.

Nice mix....

Thank you for your comments Everyone.

The brown paint is a 1:1:1 mix of red, black, and yellow HF PP. Regarding the tie, most of what I did roughly follows the instructions to tie a Shannon's Streamer that Len provided in his Fly To A Jig post.

The same Shannon's streamer that's on flyfishohio.com?

Trailer hook?

Yes. See Len's post.

Trailer hook?

No. Fish it similarly to the old Gapen Hairy Worm.

Tonight, I tied with green-colored materials. More jig-n-worm ties for river bass.



I need to field test the sage green version soon. The olive-colored jig will likely work in my opinion. :jig:
