Big Craft Fur Jigs

[AtticaFish]

Had 2 separate people ask me to make them some deep water walleye hair jigs as gifts so got working on a few.  Weights range from 3/8 oz and up.  Lots of different colors of powder paint went into the heads but all the tails are primarily craft fur with some flash mixed in.

Looking good Russ! Like the paint jobs. How does the blue color work in your area? Don't think I've ever caught anything on any blue colored lure before.

I have done very well with blue over the years. That goes for hair jigs, plastic swimbaits/grubs and crankbaits. The walleye at a local reservoir love blue and another reservoir i fish the crappie eat the heck out of blue/chart jigs.

Thanks for all the comments. Getting the tapped on bars to work using the stencil is a bit touchy. Sometimes they come out perfect, other times far from it. #3 that has the purple with red neck has black bars as well, but can barely see them. All of these (except the orange one) are pretty basic ties, fur and flash pretty much. The orange/white jig is the style i actually use for walleye. It has a big hunk of wool roving tied in before laying on the fur so the whole body shape stays nice and fat. They sink a bit slower with the wool added in as well.

Nice crafty ties, make a bunch myself in smaller sizes but they have been working better than my duck jigs this year.
