More minnows

[smalljaw]

Here are 2 more 1/32oz minnow heads. Both are black with silver 3D eyes, the top jig has a tail of black bucktail and silver flash and finished off with anthracite chenille. The bottom jig has a palmered black marabou tail with silver flash and finished off with copper/black chenille. I used red 210 denier thread and I leave a little bit of red showing on the collar on purpose. I originally tied in the chenille all the way tight to the head but I like having a little red show up which is why I didn't use black thread. The bottom jig I left a little less red but it is hard to see as the copper in the chenille looks red also but it is copper.

Nice jigs and I agree with the use of the red thread collar to simulate a bleeding bait. At times I even clip the finished jig's thread long letting the single thread trail behind. Fish seem to like it.

If the fish you're catching like Minners, and you like artificial, you're ahead of the game with those. They look great

SJ - nice looking jigs!!! I like the red that you left in the collar

Good-looking jigs. Red collars remind me that it will soon be Float-N-Fly time.
