Twisted Marabou

[Lotech Joe]

I decided to use twisted marabou on this jig instead of chenille. The rib is heavy gold wire. What do you think?

 

[SaltyBuckster]

That looks good.What part of the feather are you using?

 

[Lotech Joe]

I use the tips of the marabou for the tail of course, then just twist and wrap what's left of the feather. Stem and all. The gold wire helps to hold it together.

Looks good... Been thinking along those lines myself.

 

[CrappieHappy]

nice jig...

 

[StumpHunter]

Good looking jig. That color is a winner and the head is nice...

Almost like using dubbing but stronger. Real Nice tie

Do a half hitch at the head . Leave a tag end to attach a swivel and blade . I remember something like that many many years ago . Can tell ya . Your jig will work especially with the gold wire.

I haven't had a chance to try any of my ties out yet. Too cold around here for my old bones. I'm afraid I'll have to wait till next Spring. I should have an ample amount of jigs tied up by then.

Lost Pole,
I used to bundle up and go when I was younger. Besides, the low temperature here this weekend is supposed to be 7 above. That's 7 above zero not 7 above freezing. If it does get that cold, I'm afraid my jigs will bounce when they hit the water.

 

[Lost Pole]

Ohhhhhh. I completely understand now. Sounds like you need to move thisaway or at least take a vacation. Mosquitos will be gone soon.

This looks like it would be a nice steelhead jig. A very fine tie LJ.
