Tied this one out of squirrel tail.
Gona try it tomorrow.

I like that. What are the two little tails. Crazy legs? Good job.

Turned out nice, I like squirrel tail for material... Makes a great crawfish pattern

the tails are ctystal and polar flash. There are 4 strands just cant see them in the pic

That's pretty wild looking, nice tie! I bet if that was a real light weight head that thing would sure sink slow.

That is really great looking. Love to hear how well it worked.

Only caught one fish and the wrong kind before i lost it to the brush.

it was a 1/8 head but with so much fur it sank real slow. Kinda looked like a glider in the water. I think I'll try 1/16 head next time. Heres a better pic of the bass
I'm sure it would have caught crappie if i hadn't lost it so fast

thank you sir!

very nice

Very interesting. I like the imagination.

Are you going to make more?

i made 3 more 2 i have in my box im going to try this weekend and the other was a gift to jig man for hosting the jig swap

Uugghh the stumps were were biting faster than the fish. Lost both now im looking for a squirrel to donate its tail for the cause.

You could always buy some tails, they don't cost all that much? Every once in a while I get mad at the ones here and take a few out, keep their tails. Still have too many in my yard as can count 12 most any time they are all out eating, lol! Also if you buy them you can get them dyed colors?

Good eatin too...

Thank you skip for the link. So much faster to buy already dried and deyed. Orderd 9 different colors. Cant wait to start tying!

soaked in buttermilk rolled in flour fried to a golden crisp and covered in gravy made from the grease drippings. Mmmmm

Your welcome, I am unsure of the quality of the Barlow's, but know the Hareline is good as I have some. Look forward to seeing your ties using some of these!

A+ for creativity.

Thanx for the reply! nacgoat08 to the tff

Update got my squirrel tails in today and just got done tying these 6 I will try em tomorrow
Hopefully the stumps aren't biting

Thanks. Long time lurker, just finally got around to making a new account.

The fish were biting faster than the stumps this time. Heres what the flying squirrel looks like in action
The first bite came from this green trash fish
Then came the crappie
Even the dinks loved it
We even got a double
Then the bigger fish showed up
This is pot lickers pb crappie

And for her to catch it on a jig i tied is the icing on the cake

Looks like your doing well with these jigs!

Good job,
