I finally found them.Grubfarmer sent me some of these catfish heads awhile back,years.They were painted brown and had eyes in them already.Once I saw them,I had to tye a couple up.First one I tried palmering some olive marabou,with some yellow on the belly.Dry it looks excellent,but,once wet the profile is very skinny.Looks like a catfish that has never ate a meal,lol.The second one,I used the brown on the backside of a bucktailIt's a natural one with an orange belly.Looks much better.Looks like the river box will get a few today.

Now those are neat, never seen them before.

Dude ! Those are radical ! Nice work !

 

[BucktailJiger]

You should tie a couple of those up using rabbit zonkers and cross-cut rabbit strips . Those would be killer !!!

I've seen the heads before, but never thought they'd be any good - might have to re-think them. Really nice ties!!!

Great idea.Never even thought about it.Looks like Crazy Angler will be getting another order,Ha.

Cool looking jigs . Can't say I ever saw anything like them. Darn nice job tying them up too. I'm gonna think about making a silicone 2 part mold like that .

First for me... Saaaawwwweeeetttta

 

[Ron Don]

Very cool. I've seen those heads or similar ones that have plastic body on them.

I like yours better of course!

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Yea,they have a barb for plastics.Got anything fat and brown with a yellow tummy?lol

 

[StumpHunter]

Never seen them before either but you tied some great looking jigs.

Guys here in Pa. tear some smallmouths up with the real thing in the river.I'm going to be giving the Juniata a lot of attention this year.Thanks everyone.I've been on a tying binge the last couple of days,lol.

 

[Fatman]

How far are you from the part of the river where the big access fight was going on???

 

[Radtexan]

First time for me too,,,great tie !

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Probably 7 miles.I have never put in there as of yet.Will be hitting it very soon.That part of the Juniata is where I grew up as a kid.If you had a Mepps #2 Aglia,that's all you needed.
