Help?!??!?!

Lost Pole · Sep 17, 2014

I've done some bf, but I'm having a terrible time tryin' now. Pamering marabou. Have a bunch of 1/8 jigs with small hooks I'm tryna tackle and think they'd look best that way, but nothing's working right today and my brain is at 1/3rd speed.
Thx for any suggestions or tips.

I am unsure of what you are asking. Maybe phrase your question differently.:huh:

Did salty do a tutorial on it?

AtticaFish · Sep 17, 2014

I do remember SaltyBuckster working with the pattern and maybe having some input. Would have to do a search to find the info he added......

There is a tutorial posted a while back from JoJoPro that was the first i had seen the technique.

Link to the actual thread that was posted: Super Simple Mini-Bou Jig

Tutorial on the index site: Mini Marabou Jig

Hope this helps! :jig:

SlabHappy · Sep 18, 2014

I like those! Saved it as a bookmark and going to have to try.

Ron Don · Sep 18, 2014

Oh yeah that's right. JoJo was the one that did the tutorial.

If you twist it up to tight you can use a velcro tool smooth side to get the fibers to fluff out

Yup, Them are Dangerous on the panfish population... Good Luck , Adam...

Lost Pole · Sep 18, 2014

GTF, that's the only way I know to phrase it.
Thx for the links fellas, but I remember that'n and have done it bf.

This is more like palmering bou up the shank while pulling back the individual barbules. Mostly used with just a thread neck. You get a much bushier and full appearance.
I think it was ol Salty that was foolin with em at one time.

The BF is what threw me off....could not figure what it was, however with your response I was able to determine it is "before" and when I read original post again it makes sense. I am not up on all the abbreviations. At first I thought "bass fishing".

I wouldn't fish one of those where you live....
You'll be too buzy cleanin fish to get the yard mowed!

That's it Doug, THX!

This ain't what I wanted to make but did get a short field test yesterday. Ron Don got some play by play pics while he was yapping something 'bout crickets.

is that a tailless crappie? my oh my that's crazy. What kind of maribou were you using?strips pulled from the stem or the full quill?

Fatman · Sep 19, 2014

glad to help

Ron Don · Sep 19, 2014

Glad I could help. I knew those crickets would improve your catch!

StumpHunter · Sep 20, 2014

Nice tyes and catch. I remember salty playing around with the palmering jigs.

Pup · Sep 20, 2014

That jig-in-hand photo is one of magazine quality if I've ever seen it...

Can't beat the results either.

:icon14: :icon14:

Like the marabou-bodied jig too.

:jig:
