Here are the first 2 off my new minnow head mold, these are both 1/32oz. The top jig is painted shad gray with black back, I tied black bucktail to the top and white bucktail to the bottom and finished it off with shiner chenille. The bottom jig is shad gray with black back, I palmered a white marabou feather on the hook and tied in some silver flash and finished it with flathead minnow chenille.

Very nice little minnows that you have there.If it was me,I would shorten the tails up a little.Just because there is'nt much hook there.

Thanks all!!! I hear you on the tail size but the marabou compresses in the water and the bucktail tapers out really thin so I made them a bit longer, looking at using these for float&fly fishing on the river.
