Big B.Tails & Little T.Spins

[AtticaFish]

Some Ying & Yang............

Painted the heads last night and tied these 2 big jigs up today.
1/4oz. Teardrop
Hook? :blush:
Paint: Pearl belly, Smoke back and Black Glitter/Clear to blend them.
Various B.Tail: Black, Olive, Gray & White
Red Flashabou

Now to the little ones - worked on these last week. The one on the left is a RonDon 1/32 head and not positive on the rest of the heads - they would have come from either LedHed or JungleJim..... or possibly both. All the body material is kip. The Chub on top has a #1 Indy blade and the rest have #0's. I've never tried them this small (light weight) so really did not know if they would spin/twist my line or not. I did get to throw them in the pond for a trial run and they do run true! woo hoo! They have a pretty small overall profile but actually decent castable down on the smaller sizes with the extra added hardware.

Now the stars need to align so i can get out and really give them a trial by fire.

Cool ties,love them all. I caught some bass and a big drum on a tailspin today fishing a river close to home. That drum hammered the bait,about jerked the rod out of my hand. I was using a 1/8 with a #1 Indiana,lost both to snags.

[Fatman]

So when are you fancy painters going to do some YouTube video's and do step by step powder painting????????? for all these fancy paint jobs.

 

[Hawnjigs]

Me thinks you are gonna be pounding on the door of the WiddleJigBigFish club.

Wonder what Salty has to say about a 1/4 2/0 buckie being called "big"?

 

[BucktailJiger]

very impressive

 

[StumpHunter]

Those are just awesome jigs!

Thanks for the comments! Can not wait to get these little ones out - think they might do well for crappie after dark with the xtra thump from the spinners.

Bombora - The naked one was made on a whim - i have some tiny willow blades (if i can find them in my mess) that i want to put on that one to give the entire thing a long skinny look.

Fatman - Only video equipment i have is my digital still camera that has a video function. Also have a web cam but not the software to put it all together. Will see what i can do.... maybe figure out a way to mount my digi camera so i can still work with both hands.

Hawnjigs - Probably work the opposite for me - widdlefishbigjig - i am the reigning champion at that organization.

I really like those jigs AF.

An interesting choice of hair on some of your tail spins. That kip is short, colorful, and will stay out of the way of the blade. I think that your choice is dead on.

Good Show! :icon14: :icon14:
