Red Raider

[Pup]

Last night, I tied this red and black creature with a really cool-looking "Fish Head"-styled jig made by Ron Don. My jig's name, "Red Raider", came about while thinking up the jig's color scheme and about West Texas, Lubbock, and Texas Tech University, specifically. Why not? Makes sense, right?



Materials:

• A 3/16-ounce "Fish Head" jig with a 2/0 black nickel sickle hook
• Boot lace
• Darice Craft Fur - red and black
• Caron Glimmer Yarn - black
• LashMax Yarn - Black Star
• Gudebrod 6/0 Fly Tying Thread - black, 125 denier
• Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy
• Orbit Powder Paint - clear
• Harbor Freight Powder Paint - matte black and red
• Eyes are homemade from black acrylic paint, tin foil, and hot glue

And, in case you might be thinking so, Bobby Knight had nothing to do with this.
