"Cloudy Day" Leather Craws & Copper-Bodied Hackle/Leather Tail

[Pup]

These are the "dink magnets" I used at my local reservoir last Wednesday afternoon. It was nice to get several largemouth bass to hand. None of them were very large, so no photographs of the fish.



This is a tie that I am anxious to try at my next opportunity.



All jigs are tied on 1/8-oz. ball heads with #2 bronze hooks.

The leather master does it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic work Pup, those leather craws look amazing and the bottom jig is tremendous, I hope you give a report when you get a chance to try it out!!! BTW, the hooks you're using look big for a #2 but it could be the picture, the reason I say this is I just made some hairy worms on a 1/8oz head with a 2/0 hook and the distance seems close to yours so I figured I'd ask. Your ties give me a lot of ideas but those craft fur ties are great, I got a small craft store to order me some Darice in different colors and so far the brown came in but next week others should arrive.

Hard to beat a black craw in the shadows..... or mud IMO. Those look excellent.

The copper-body tie is a crazy one. Not a 'match' to really anything that comes to mind but creates a near 'nuff look of a few critters.

Good looking jigs I'm interested to hear how the copper jig works for you.

Amazing work, pup.
The leather work gets me every time.…
Pull the trailers off both sets n they become sac jigs for me.
Real art

Gotta start popping cam shots, regardless of fish size, just for the memories.

Thanks to all for your comments.

I do like to work with leather. It's been a bit different and very nostalgic for me.
