Few jigs I made

Here is a few jigs and trailers I made recently. Its a really good feeling to catch a Bass on a jig you made.

man those are some great looking jigs and trailers! love that first color combo! If your interested I would love trading you for any of my hardbaits!

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

Those look delicious, and your plastics too on the other thread

Thanks guys, message me Brad

Great colors...wire wrap is very precise...excellent craftsmanship. I would be surprised if those didn't catch bass.

Thanks Bois. I like the wire wrap because after a year of being in ur tackle box u don't pick up ur jig and the skirt stays there lol.

Nice baits.Good job.

awesome stuff

You've probably been asked a hundred times before, but what wire are you using and where do you get it? I've used fly tying wire in the past, but its too thin and tends to cut the skirt material.

I use 24 Guage wire I got from michaels. Also have stripped down old copper wire and get strands out, it's also 24 Guage which is .024". Hope this helps

I use the same wire on mine from hobby lobby it last way longer than the jigs and comes out cheaper than the rubber skirt collars in the long run.

Those are great looking jig. Excellent job.

Man, those look irresistible

Thanks guys, I enjoy making them

If you would be interested in trading a few of your jigs for custom painted crankbaits or spinnerbaits PM me. I just happen to have a few blanks on hand.

awesome jigs! What head is that, arkie? Great colors, I love that top one as well.

Looks good. Painted heads look nice.



Agreed. I find hand tying my jigs to be easier that making skirts with rubber collars. It might be easier with the nice skirt making tool but the little tube/wire tool I have is still a PITA.

Thanks man, they are arkys except the blue and green pumpkin one is a swim jig. 96speed I used to think the rubber bands was easy but once I got the hang of tying them its easier to me now and last much longer.

What kind of paint are you using? Liquid or Powder?

powder paint

Looks like they will do some damage. Great job

Are you mixing two different colors of paint to get that pattern? Are you dipping the heads?

It's a special type of powder I get from prismatic powders called veins, i do first color then diff color over it in those pictures. Kinda long process

Tried to PM you but you are over inbox limit. I have a question about Rage Craw chunks and swim jigs.

NICE! Makes me wanna get into building my own.

I use the rubber bands w rattle holders. Then reinforce with several wraps of wire. Without the rattle holders, how do you put a rattle?

If I want a rattle I stick them in the plastic trailer

man that guy has lot of colors, I would say a green pumpkin with gold and red flake will be close

Or maybe a real dark junebug

Look great keep it up!
