1/32 oz, Squirrel Tails

SaltyBuckster · Oct 24, 2011

Heading up perch and crappie fishing in the morning and decided to use some of my grey squirrel tail that my nephew got Saturday.Here they are.I'll let you guys know how they do tomorrow night.Can't get a picture that is any good,will take some in the daylight.They look very good though,lol.

Here's a pic,I think.2 ,1/32 and 2 , 1/64 squirrels.I just dipped the meat end in salt and hung it up to clothesline.It's got a bone the size of that 1/64 oz. jighead,so I'm not worried about it.The hairs are like 2 1/2 inches long on that Trophy Squirrel,lol.

Sorry,I think that my 7 year old Sony Cybershot may be on her last leg,lol.

Love that squirrel...Gotta add some to my bag...

Are you taking the pics in macro mode ?

SaltyBuckster · Oct 24, 2011

Macro,yes.Just don't take good pics at night.During the day,outside it is Great.

I have a grey fox tail I'm looking forward to trying... It has some great natural color. Looks like I'm gonna have to go squirrel hunting also those look good.

SaltyBuckster · Oct 24, 2011

My eyes must be pretty bad,lol.I can't see them hardly at all in that stupid pic.The little ones have just the black and white at the end of the tail,the 1/32 have some of the brown also.They look pretty cool in my hand,but,not in that pic.You'll see them better tomarrow if I catch anything with one,lol.

Those look good.
Doc like stated you can use salt to dry them and also borax works great it will dry them and bug proof them at the same time.

Fatman · Oct 24, 2011

From what I can see they look good, and squirrel can be tough to tie with as it's slippery.

Fresh squirrel tail I actually like to wash, squeeze in paper towel comb it to straighten the hair and then put in borax

I got the Berkley Cherrywood set up with a slip bobber with one of them 1/32 oz. squirrel tails on top and an aberdeen on the bottom.Let's see what happens.I'm sure the Mitchell Avocate will be screaming tomorrow.

StumpHunter · Oct 25, 2011

Good luck fishing with them. Hard to tell much about them but I'm sure they will do the job for you. Those are some long hair squirrels!

CrappieHappy · Oct 25, 2011

Nice jigs, where's the update Bruce?

SaltyBuckster · Oct 25, 2011

Just got home,dark already,very long day,lol.I'll have to show you the jig tomorrow when it's daylight again,But,here's what it caught.Pretty much everything,First a 10" crappie,then a bunch of perch,then when tipped with a minnow a smallmouth bass,Cosectively.Here's a good one to start,I'm going to post the trip in the fishing success forum a little later.You may have to sit sideways until I get it in Photobucket and fix it,lol.

StumpHunter · Oct 25, 2011

Fatman · Oct 25, 2011

Nice catch SB
Try a tripod with your camera, when you use the macro setting, for the close ups.
