Kuttail Jig

[Pup]

Materials:

• A chrome 1/8-ounce ball head jig with a #2 hook
• Danville Flymaster Plus Thread (140 denier) - white
• Gütermann Sparkle Metallic Thread - rainbow black
• One Zucker Feather Products Schlappen Feather - black
• One FlyMasters (Wapsi) Schlappen Feather- white
• Tandy Suede Leather Remnant - off white

Found this chrome jig in my tying box and, at first, did not know what to do with it. Eventually, I came up with what I thought might be a reasonable jig pattern for areas where I don't know much about the species composition.

Now thats gonna move and mesmerize the fishies. Saw a fly tied with a peice of shammy before. When wet it really moves and a great brown color. Excellent jig.. May have to steal thatun!

 

[Fatman]

Jig Man - I've tied a few with pieces of shammy before and found a little glue really helps. It makes great grub bodies!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the tip FM...

 

[Fatman]

Glad to help. The lighter stuff you can just use a sharpi marker.

I purchased this thread at Jo-Ann Fabrics a few years back. Check any big box fabric store that carries Gutermann threads if interested in them.

Thanks Pup - My wife has to go to JoAnne's to get some material so I'll tag along and check out the threads, glitter, beads and whatever else I can find!!!!

Sweet jig!!

 

[smalljaw]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! That rainbow black thread underbody with the big wavy schlappen feathers with the leather split tail trailer is going to be a killer in the water!!!! I think the only problem is you won't be able to target a single species of fish with it, anything that swims will eat it, just incredible work and thought!!!!!

Thank you BK and SJ.
