Tied each of these using two schlappen feathers ahead of a chenille abdomen and suede leather tail.  They have the color combination of black, coral, orange, and emerald green flake.  I hope that they will catch a couple of bass or maybe a steelhead.

Materials:
  • Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Machine Embroidery Thread 40-wt. - coral
  • Eagle Claw 1/8 Ball Head Jig JB0018U
  • Rosey's Powder Paint - mandarin orange
  • Harbor Freight Powder Paint - matte black
  • Rosey's Clear Coat High Gloss 100% mixed with emerald green extra-fine glitter
  • Tulip Puffy Paint - green glitter
  • Tandy Leather Factory Suede Remnant - black
  • Lion Brand 'Lion Suede' Yarn - ebony
  • Flymasters (WAPSI) Barred Schlappen - fl. fire orange
  • Clear nail polish
I may add some pieces of Darice Craft Foam to the tails for flotation to help with tail movement in the water.  If so, I'll glue them to the tails with E6000 Craft Adhesive.

Yes! Very nice and I was thinking the same thing about the small mouth's loving them. Heck even the LM should gobble them up.

Love the look of those big feathers... great looking jigs. Those will indeed work on several species. Both orange/black and orange/white combinations have become a favorite of mine regardless of species i am after. They all (at least the fish i chase) seem to like those colors.

Those are beautiful jigs. Schlappen seems to be marketed to Salmon fishers and not much else. I can't see why those wouldn't work for multiple and saltwater applications. I have experimented with using the salmon heads for Bass  since they are the right style / hook size and need to give the schlappen a try.
