It has been awhile since i have tied anything... was digging through a box and found a few fishy heads that RD poured for me with custom hooks. Had set them back for a rainy day. Decided to dress them up at lunch today to put them in my box.

More messing around with the baitfish emulator as well. :D

Last 2 have the BFE in the center of the tail with buck tail over top. The dark core color with lighter outter looks really good when wet. The one on the left was the last one i tied... finally got the body how i wanted after building up around the shank with poly yarn. Both of these have medium cactus chenille ( not positive on the color, a flashy blue/green :blush: ) twisted with silver tinsel chenille.

Thanks for the kind words all...

DC - Everything i paint is all with nail polish. The 2nd pics were a blue/green basecoat with 2 coats of a glitter (Love My Nails 'Angel Baby') that is almost clear and all large, holographic glitter.

RD - I did set a few back and always keep at least 1 (left blank) of any custom stuff that i get. Just in case i need to get more, i have the original so there is no trying to remember what they were.... i often can't recall what was for dinner last night. ;)

Great-looking jigs AF! :cool:

Coat those heads with some Devcon 2T Epoxy and your NP will stick around a lot longer. ;)
