Evening's work

[quivira kid]

Tied up about half of these tonight, got some head cement on all of 'em, now they're drying! After tying with it more, I really like the looks of kip.

Nice jigs....

Nice work Zac, I'll have to get some Kip as I've never tied with it either. What you using for head cement?

CH, I find it way easier to work with than marabou! After tying some with hackle and kiptail, I'm hard pressed to bust out the 'bou for myself any more. I have used kip for my smaller Clouser minnow flies, and the crappie LOVE those!

Kip tail is crinklier than buck tail . It is a little stiffer . But it spreads around collars smoothly when you go to tie it . Sand bass like it too as well as crappie . I prefer it over buck tail for sprig jigs especially . Hey Kid do some of my old style jigs I I used to call mosquitoe jigs . Same head thread body kip tail . Taper the thread and build it up like a minnow body . Use a little less tail cause you want it to represent a tail fin . Then clear coat from tail to head . Take them fishing . They will never come apart and wacky as it seems the fish like them. I like those heads and the ties are nice and compact not leaving gaps in between wraps. I took a lot of business in the day away from guys that tried to skimp on the chenille and hair.

Nice jig. I use a lot of hair jigs in the spring too and it does work good on the crappie.

Rad, when you're not having to think about color combos or switching materials, it goes a little faster!
