HELP !!! Out of jigs

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Made ya look ..I'm just kidding,still have a few left I was picking up a few needed items at HOBBY LOBBY yesterday and saw that they had safety pins 30% off and an idea popped into my head. Maybe I was out in the heat to long this morning doing a little bass fishing,my OCEAN WAVE sunglasses were fogging up before 7am. I bought an assortment of sizes from an inch to 2 inches and decided to paint a few when I got home. When I got up this morning I put one in the vise and started playing. These won't put fish in the livewell but might make a conversation piece if you stick one in your hat. The biggest one's are over 3 inches long so they are noticeable. I think I'll make a crawdad next. My favorite so far is the orange/chartreuse. I don't know if someone else has done these before,but I'm always looking to try something different.

Very clever Jim. I will make a few for my buddy and my hats!

 

[Radtexan]

[StumpHunter]

Those look good and they do draw attention. I have done some for my wife and daughters in collage colors and for a few others that wanted em. Pain to tye but they enjoy em.

You know if you fished them that they would be weeless.

Great Idea

Stump,you are right. They are a pain to tie. The smaller sizes are easier than the bigger ones.

 

[Fatman]

Not nice fibbing to your buds!!!!!!!!! Nice ties though buddy!!!!!! They do tie fly patterns on the smaller ones, there was a swap of them over at Fly Tying Forum one time.

With the feathers being used for hair extensions JJ you might just start another rush for safety pins. Good idea!!

Better watch Survivor man is gonna be hitting you up for some of them!

Those are very cool. A nifty accessory for fishing hats. :icon14:

 

[toadfrog]

By golly I believe you might just have something there . With all the piercing going on now days no telling where you might find one of those . You've hit an untapped market.
