As I have threatened I just had to try putting the gummy body on a jig. Could find plenty of fly patterns on web but nothing on a jig. By the way this is not really tying its more like making an assembly. I am sure someone has done it. Just could not find it
My first two did not turn out as good as I hoped. But better than I really expected. Did a lot of watching on the web before I tried this. Couple of warnings . Do this when you are by yourself especially your first time. keep fingers moist not soaking wet but moist. This stuff is a lot tougher than it looks.
The one on top I did almost everything wrong but it still looks like a minnow.
The second one ( since I was now an expert HAH ) I got a little creative with and put a piece of flash foil on each side.
Not entirely happy with either one but I think ( hope ) they might fetch up a crappie or three. Anyway had lot of fun and cussin as I always do with new material. Made for an interesting day anyway.
