Fly Lipps

[Len]

Do you guys think these would work underneath a jig head?

 

[toadfrog]

Prolly would on the right size head .

 

[Muskygary]

Depends on the size of the lip vs. the weight of the jig. I would say 1/24 or smaller; might work.

I think there was a jig called the "Scampi" that had a plastic clear bill....

I remember seeing something with a lip once. Let us know what you come up with Len. Looks like it could be a great jig when used right.

I agree with Muskygary on the light head weight to facilitate wobble, but think the jig won't track without spinning. But, might work as an erratic action jerker at below spin speed.

Not so sure about the "rare" When I checked the castrers online site, I could not access the lips, but these collars are readily available.

I would think any unused 50 year old jig is indeed rare. Mr. Burke's design was later copied by the makers of the "Scrounger" jig which wobbling action was phenomenal, similar to lipped cranks. The Scrounger head is available now at an outrageous price. For those not familiar, the Scrounger mechanism goes beyond a flat or slightly cupped crank lip being a waay bigger deep scoop concave. A brilliant design really, but even back when the cost was prohibitive considering standard Do-it myself designs worked fine.

Scrounger is what I was thinking - not the scampi. Thnx hj, didn't realize they were still available.
