Inshore and freshwater heads

[Barefoot]

Got em all painted up. From Trout and Reds to Bass and Crappie. 1/16 and 1/8 for tying and plastics with some horse & donkey heads.

I'd say you should be set for a while! Let the feather fly.

Yep, thats a bunch of painting...

I do seem to collect them throughout the year and then do my painting all at once. They are mostly 2 and 3 color patterns on these heads as I wanted to try that technique. The stand up jigs are 3/8 - 1/0 BN  and the swim jig are 1/0 BN as well and those will work in either waters.
The ones that I am excited about are the 1/8 & 1/16 crappie heads as I have rededicated myself to heading up the bayou and focusing on the freshwater species. My first few times have yielded small Bass and a few Crappie on the jigs that AllenOK and Stumphunter tied up for me. Thanks again to these two and all the others on this board who have inspired me.
I have hackle and chenille ready to get started tying my own when the weather turns bad. Winter has not arrived here as yet.
I will experiment with some soft plastics on some of the heads I matched up this coming week.

That is just awesome! Do you make the plastics as well? Matching the heads and the plastics show some real skills. Very nice!

 

[Barefoot]

Thanks. I buy the soft plastics retail and just tap the second color on the heads with a small brush.

Like the choice of cigars

Oh, nice job on the jigs too. The plastics & matching paint is a cut above
