Latest River Grubs

[Pup]

Purchased some very good suede leather recently to create curly grub tails. It's brown colored and pliable. Makes an excellent 3.5 to 4-inch curly-tailed grub. The jig heads are painted with a "new-to-me" combination of powder paint. Can't wait to cast them into my local river.



Materials:

• Two 3/16-ounce ball head jigs with 2/0 bronze hooks
• Harbor Freight Powder Paint Mixture - red, yellow, and black matte (2:1:2 ratio)
• Tandy Leather Factory Suede Remnant - dark brown
• Lion Brand Suede Yarn - coffee
• Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Thread (40-wt.) - chona brown
• UNI Thread 6/0 - dark brown

Pup, that suede looks fantastic as does the paint!!! Be very careful with those, you may get your arm broke!!! I really like the cheap Harbor Freight powder paint, works well and that color you made looks like a killer!!

Thank you all for your comments. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to fish these jigs next week. They are very fun to make and I love to fish large grubs.

So, it's on to the next something else...Hmm... :head_scratch:

Maybe a leather tube bait.
