I finally found them.Grubfarmer sent me some of these catfish heads awhile back,years.They were painted brown and had eyes in them already.Once I saw them,I had to tye a couple up.First one I tried palmering some olive marabou,with some yellow on the belly.Dry it looks excellent,but,once wet the profile is very skinny.Looks like a catfish that has never ate a meal,lol.The second one,I used the brown on the backside of a bucktailIt's a natural one with an orange belly.Looks much better.Looks like the river box will get a few today.

Now those are neat, never seen them before.

Dude ! Those are radical ! Nice work !

BucktailJiger · May 20, 2012

You should tie a couple of those up using rabbit zonkers and cross-cut rabbit strips . Those would be killer !!!

I've seen the heads before, but never thought they'd be any good - might have to re-think them. Really nice ties!!!

Great idea.Never even thought about it.Looks like Crazy Angler will be getting another order,Ha.

Cool looking jigs . Can't say I ever saw anything like them. Darn nice job tying them up too. I'm gonna think about making a silicone 2 part mold like that .

Very different style of jig for sure. I like em!!!!

First for me... Saaaawwwweeeetttta

Very cool. I've seen those heads or similar ones that have plastic body on them.

I like yours better of course!

SaltyBuckster · May 20, 2012

Yea,they have a barb for plastics.Got anything fat and brown with a yellow tummy?lol

StumpHunter · May 20, 2012

Never seen them before either but you tied some great looking jigs.

SaltyBuckster · May 20, 2012

Guys here in Pa. tear some smallmouths up with the real thing in the river.I'm going to be giving the Juniata a lot of attention this year.Thanks everyone.I've been on a tying binge the last couple of days,lol.

Fatman · May 20, 2012

How far are you from the part of the river where the big access fight was going on???

Radtexan · May 20, 2012

First time for me too,,,great tie !

SaltyBuckster · May 20, 2012

Probably 7 miles.I have never put in there as of yet.Will be hitting it very soon.That part of the Juniata is where I grew up as a kid.If you had a Mepps #2 Aglia,that's all you needed.
