My attempt at hand tied jigs

I have been working on these hand tied jigs. I think that I've finally getting it figured out. Can't wait to try it out on some Hybrids or Stripers. There are 3 jig weights, 3/8, 1/2, AND 1 OZ.

Very nice work.

Great job

Yes sir, those should work GREAT!!!

Edit: LOVE the stinger hooks!

I added the stinger hooks for the larger ones for two reasons. 1 in case of short strikes and 2 it adds a lot of wiggle to the back end of the jig. These really look great in the water.

Nice baits. Good job.

Those are very cool! Make sure you use super glue on your stinger hooks. We tie steelhead flies with a loop of wire and change out stinger hooks! Google intruder steelhead flies and look at some videos! Very cool jigs!

I watched some YouTube videos on steelhead and muskey flies, that's where I got the idea to use the stinger. I am using a 40lb wire, a bead, and a fish joint just like most of those flies use. I can take the stingers off or replace them.

Good looking jigs,like the stingers.You about got your money's worth out of that tape.

The tape was a 30 footer that the end broke off of. I just cut up some 12" pieces of it to use for a stick measure.

Got some new material and tied a few shinny ones.

Nice job!!! Good looking baits. It's special to catch fish on baits you tie yourself.

I like watching April Vokey fly tying videos https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=apr...amp;FORM=VRDGAR

There are my favorites to watch, they both explain things well.

Good looking jigs! let us know how they do!

Need to make a white one like these white crappie jigs from Giltmore tackle. If I could get these in 1/4 and 1/2 oz I would buy them. The material has a iridescent chartreuse flash that looks just like a shad in clear water. Slaughtered crappie on this at PK this past year and sand bass, small stripers and LM Bass also hammered it.

Here's what I came up with on a 3/8oz jig. White fibers in the tail and body are UV treated. In the water it will glow.

Those will catch fish TexMann.

Texmann1 that looks like the trick.

Bet those would be gnarly to deadstick with.
