Some Marabou Jigs

AllenOK · Feb 11, 2015

A buddy asked me for some marabou micro jigs. I did some 1/64 ball head jigs with sickle hooks. I tied in two colors of marabou at the bend of the hook. I twisted one color into a rope, wound that onto the shank, tied it off, then just pulled the second color straight over the first. I'm calling it a "Marabou Skunk". Of course, it's going to have the second color on the bottom once it's in the water. Here's some pics with what I've done so far.

Sweet!
I may have to steal this idea!

Nice-looking ties. Trout candy imo.

Those are some sweet a$$ jigs! Panfish or trout, those will get the job done. :jig:

Excellent use of a same ol' material for a new look. And the name is appropriate.

those boys will hunt

Thanks all. Next time I paint some jigheads, I'll tie some up for me. I've got LOTS of marabou, in who knows how many different shades. Who knows, I might not wait until I paint more jigheads

Like the idea a lot, paint some heads and put them up. I may have to try that for some crappie. Ole

Great idea! :icon14: I caught my very first jig trout (20" brown) on a not-so micro similar pattern (1/16, size 4 belly spinner) after I read about twisted marabou bodies here. The two colors will make it even more appealing and fry-ike. I`ll better add some ripping, these will get chewed upon!

Are those 3* strong sickles? Looking good!

those look great! I hate working with marabou, it flys around so much, but i'll have to give these a go!

AllenOK · Feb 14, 2015

Bucho, I don't think so. I think they're normal-strength sickle hooks, just red. Picked them up at a local bait shop. The bait shop probably ordered them from chuckanddeb dot com. I know I've seen the same size/shape/hook type there.

Looks like the Jo Jo pro pattern. Eggscellent fish catchers!

Looks like that might be a good jig to try float fishing for Steelhead..

AllenOK · Feb 15, 2015

Len, I wish I had Steelhead here in Okieland!!!

StumpHunter · Feb 16, 2015

Those are very nice! Marabou has so many uses and your color combos look great.

Pepop · Feb 16, 2015

I don't ever use marabou but if I did, I'd definitely copy those ties! Very nice!

Great lookin jigs.
Tried the JoJo pattern - Bluegill and Redear (out here) are too tough on them. Have to counter wrap wire.
