Japan Jig Tying

[Len]

Does anyone know a source for the Fish Skins?

 

[StumpHunter]

Len I haven't seen any offered anywhere but it looks easy enough to make. They are made in the shape like the material that are on the Sabiki Rigs, just bigger.

Could probably use chamois.

What about using thin skin? The pattern is easy enough to copy.

 

[Jay Wirth]

That should be super easy to duplicate using material from a craft store - there are probably dozens of possibilities for material

I would try swiss straw and cut them out, it looks simple enough. PM me if you need some samples.

I tied a couple using sili skin. Not entirely happy with them but it looks like you could use it.I found out real quick to fold sili skin on
hook first. Made one with flash belly the other with pearl. Bit of a headache but not too bad.

Looks like it would look better by running the hook point through the body and tying the ,open side down.
