More Pup Style Jigs

[smalljaw]

I'm officially calling these "Pup style jig" unless he gets mad, but they are direct copies of the way he ties craft fur to ball head jigs, I just do it slightly different but not much. I even went and had soft plastic 3" trout worms poured for me in green pumpkin and black so I can use them as trailers for the smaller jigs to make my own hairy worm which Pup makes using leather trailers. I did the same thing making one jig with a normal amount of craft fur and one with a little more fur to make a fuller jig but they will both have a lot of action. These are both 1/8oz weedless ball head jigs painted black, both use some silver flash tied in underneath the body. The top jig has black craft fur on the top and bottom and chartreuse fur along the sides and the bottom jig is a simple black on top and white on the bottom making a simple minnow pattern.

They look great! I think the craft fur may be as close to the ever so popular wool design as possible as far as shape.
And they remind me of his style…
Which is a great thing. Hed be a great mentor to follow. .

Great work.

Nice jigs. I need to spend some time with craft fur, I hate trying to work with it. I have many colors but just don't get along with it.

Great looking jigs SJ.

LP, Thank you for the nice words. :blush: Much appreciated.

SJ - really nice ties!!! One little tool that I make is to take a tongue depressor or popsicle stick and take velcro, pull it apart and cut to fit, then pull the cover on it back and stick it to the depressor or popsicle stick - one for the sticky side one for the felty side.

You can use these as a brush for blending not only craft fur, but dubbing and zonker strips or whatever you want!! I'll post a pic of some of the ones I have tonight

Thanks guys, FM, I have one that I made not long after I joined this site to make my dubbing bodies a little more buggy looking. I would use it on craft fur, at least the craft fur I use simply because it flows really nice in the water and the movement looks so natural that it really doesn't need any blending, I'd also be afrais of kinking or tearing out the longer fibers, remember, my jigs are probable bigger than what you're making.

SJ - I grew up in Western NY, 4 miles from Ontario and 13 from Erie. I've tied up more than my fair share of 1/4 and 3/8 oz. jigs!!! LOL and I used that little tool back then, a bait shop dealer told me about it after my Uncle told him I was tying bucktails for him and his friends.
