wool, satin, and foil finish fabric

used a little of the wool I had washed, and some white satin, and a little foil finish fabric fibers in green, blue and silver. just experimenting.

the pearlized sheer was really curly and I couldn't bring myself to tie it on there sticking every which a way, probably looks ok in the water though after it straightens out some. the foil finish fibers are really limp and are more awkward to handle when tying than the satin, so they take a little more time to hold down straight before securing.

Jig looks good.

redear they look good!!!

thanks guys! that wool tied real nice too.

Hopefully I'll have some this weekend!!

That is the style that made me go and get wool and satin!! The profile is awesome and I'm not sure if you intended it or not but the pictures show how the jig will flash when hit by sunlight, really nice!!!

thanks ya'll, that blue and also the green foil type finish fabric really pop out, and the silver does too. as far as the profile goes, it all seems to come down to selecting the proper amount of wool to tie on there, and how much you pull on the wool before tying it in. I first turn the jig upside down and tie a peice of wool in there on the hook point side, most of the bulk I have been putting here. on this jig I did something I usually don't do, which was to select a smaller bunch of wool, and wrap tie in onto the hook shank just behind the head with a few wraps of thin mono thread which won't build much, and I did this with the butt end of the wool overlapping the jighead a little, then I folded the overlapping wool in front backwards towards the hooks point and wrapped over it with the thread a few more times, this process allowed me to have a little bulk around the hooks point and bend but not too bulky past that point, then I put the jighead upright and tie in a thin peice of wool along the backbone of the hooks shank and made this peice a little longer, this peice decides the length of the jigs body along with the satin.

maybe tonite I will show how I have been tying these jigs, as far as putting the wool on the hook.

nice work Kip!

Those look like crappie killers.
