Tied this one last night using a fairly interesting chenille yarn that shows combinations of reddish-brown hues. I've used it before on other jigs. It looks pretty good on this type of jig, I think. Materials: A 3/8-ounce football head with a 3/0 hook Kiwi Boot Lace - dark brown Harbor...

Tied this craft fur jig over the weekend for the brutish white bass of the Tennessee River. If a striped bass should hit it, well then, I'd better be living right. ;) Its tail is made from red leather. Though thicker, I have some off-white and purple-colored leather that I've yet to...

I love to tie these and hope to fish one very soon. Materials: A 3/16-ounce ball head jig with a 1/0 bronze hook. Kiwi Boot Lace (quartered) - dark brown. Tandy Leather Factory Premium Leather Scrap - brown. Lion Suede Yarn (Lion Brand) #5 - coffee. UTC Ultra Thread 140 denier - rusty...

Cut a zonker strip and tied two chinchilla coque saddles around some antique white chenille to produce this jig. It weighs 1/4 of an ounce and has a 1/0 hook. The tool in the foreground is a seam ripper. It's useful for cutting your own zonker strips from rabbit pieces and whole pelts.

No need for a long hook shank to tie a longer grub. ;) This one is about 4 inches long. Its body is extended by Latigo Lace.

Thought of the praying mantis insect and how most of these jigs resemble it. Well, a little bit maybe? The jig in the upper-right portion of the picture looks like a tick to me. A closeup of a black "mantis" appears below. Here it is performing a headstand, quite possibly like it might...

I enjoyed tying this one. It's one of my favorite color combinations and styles. Materials: Kiwi Leather Boot Lace (quartered) - dark brown. Lion Brand Suede Yarn - coffee. A 3/8-ounce football head jig with a 3/0 black nickle hook. UTC Ultra Thread (140 denier) - rusty brown. Harbor...

Might not work well at all, but I'll try it. Has anyone used it before, particularly, on leather subjected to water? Baseball glove experience counts. ;)

Here's one I'll call a Fuzzy Bug. It's tied with a wrap of Bernat Fab Faux chenille yarn in sable color. The legs and antennae are quartered boot lace. Used a 3/8-oz. football head jig with a 3/0 black nickel hook. The head is painted "plum brown" with a 50/50 mix of black and red powder...

Tied a "quad" version of the leather bug that I'd posted previously. This one has 4 swimmerets (legs) per side. I've learned to use only quartered lace with grainy, shiny outer hide. Without this, the leather breaks apart easily and you'll lose your legs and antennae eventually. Here's a...

I've been enjoying my work with leather. Boot lace is limp when cut in half. It's very limp when quartered. ;) Materials: A 3/8-oz. football jig with a 3/0 black nickel hook. Harbor Freight Powder Paint - brown mixture. Brown saddle hackle feathers (2). Kiwi Leather Boot Lace - dark brown...

This is one of my typical hair jigs with a tied-in leather trailer. I was inspired to tie this by thinking of Dan Gapen's Hairy Worm, a bass catching jig from yesteryear. Materials: A 1/8-oz. ball head jig with a 2/0 black nickel Gamakatsu hook. Darice Craft Fur - orange and brown. Harbor...

If you have an interest, I suggest contacting the seller very quickly. Like tonight. :Banane44: The link below is from Joe's Old Lures web site. Looks to me like some are Thompsons. One may be a Tack-L-Tyers. Link

My first try at tying with leather. It might just be one of the ultimate "Old School" materials that you rarely see used anymore. However, there was a time back in the early to mid-20th century when leather was prevalent. Ever hear of a "Plucky" lure? It had a diving lip on its head that was...

My better half purchased this gypsy purse for me at a yard sale. I carry a wallet. :P She did a great job of noticing the wonderful coque saddle feathers sewn into the bottom. It cost her $1. What a great find...the purse and my wife! :) These feathers are some of the nicest I've seen for...

This lure has feathered legs. I used four small hackles and gave each one a curly shape with the use of a blunt pocket knife. Next time, I may try using two more hackles to form an additional pair of legs. Materials: Eagle Claw 249WA-3/0 Weedless Hook. Leather boot lace. Lion Brand Suede...

These are tied on 1/8-oz. football heads with 3/0 black nickel hooks. Used a dull knife to curl the tail feathers of the jig on the left. I am hoping for a ripple type of swimming motion from the feathers that is similar to curly-tailed plastic grubs. But, we'll see. It will be an...

Which one fights harder? Bass Vs. Bluegill So, what's your opinion? :D :trollin: ;)

Bought a really nice storage box recently for my unpainted jig heads. Didn't realize the nightmare of label adhesive until I removed the labels. The Solution
