BIG & SMALL

[JUNGLEJIM1]

I reworked a few shaky blade baits and replaced the stiff,thick split rings with a smaller size which will give them better movement. The bodies are c-cut bunny and palmer chenille,tails are hackle,flash and rubber combination. These weigh 1/4 oz. At the other end is a 1/64 chub with a #10 sickle tied hardbody style with a rabbit,midge flash and neon uni floss tail, and Holographic SH finish. I have a trip later this week that will feature trout fishing two rivers,smallies in another river and bass and crappie fishing some ponds over three days. Maybe these will fool a fish or two. If not, I have a few other things to try.View attachment 9View attachment 1View attachment 2View attachment 3

All really nice ties!!!!!!!!!! Is the smaller split ring you changed to gonna cause any problems if you run into any BIG fish??? Hope you have a great time and catch a lot of fish!!!!!!!!

Man, those are neat. Those are the first of those I've seen.

Fm, the split rings are rated over 20 lbs and since I never go higher than 12 even on my bass gear the line should break before the swivel goes. Thanks everyone. I hope to have some pictures in the success column Friday night when I get back. With so many fishing opportunities of varying styles on this trip I'm having a hard time deciding what rods and tackle I need to take. Probably take four + a fly rod. I havn't fished a trout stream in almost two years so it will feel new for a bit.

I sure do like the blade idea. Yes very nice!!! Can you buy those blades anywhere?

 

[toadfrog]

I'd bet my bottom dollar you can nail a striper on those . Like the idea . Good going there jungle .

Nice ties Jim.

Guys in my area fish chatterbaits in early spring. Those are nifty rabbit-n-hackle ties. Good stuff. :icon14:

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

These are chatterbait knock offs. Barlow's sells the heads and blade decals and used to sell the blades but I can't find them in their catalog now. The hooks are a 60 bend and heads resemble a banana, kinda. If anyone knows where to get these blades let me know. I want to try some on different style heads. I'm looking for some smaller blades like this as well, I know they have smaller 1/8 versions. I bought one and caught a lot of bass on it before losing it.

Looking good Jungle. You can get the blades at Lurepartsonline.

There's an ebay store that has something like that - Eaker Shakers??? I'll have to find the store name when I get home from work - the bags they had were made by Worth.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Thanks Ronnie. I'll check it out once I get back. Leaving in about six hours,need some sleep but not sleepy yet.
