More ducks

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Just a few more combinations ranging in size from 1/24 on a #4 red sickle to a 1/48 chub on a #8 sickle. On these I subbed one of my new favorite materials,Palmer chenille which I wrap 2-3 times around the collar. Another tie that I've been getting great results with,especially the chub with the 3mm eyes. Bass,crappie,bluegill,trout and yellow bass so far. I have limited numbers of the darts so I started playing with some other heads. I hope you like em.

Nice Jungle! Those tiny chubs look great.

 

[AtticaFish]

Defintely like the looks of the palmer chenille, looks like it adds subtle flash with how much you are tying in. Nice ducks.

Great job JJ1. I like them all.

 

[Pup]

Very nice, one and all.

With all the duck u got going on, do you hunt?
I'm amazed at everyone's paint jobs here!
The dart....or chub(?) heads, i have no idea.... in the 3rd pic are off the chart.
Thx for some ideas and enjoy the fish caught off 'em.

I havn't hunted in over 30 years. I had to choose between hunting and fishing because there wasn't time to do both. I buy and dye most of my feathers,have had a few sent to me that I traded for jigs. As many ducks as I tie I wish I could get some other sources. If anyone has a big supply I'd work out a trade of some kind for sure. I'm interested in mallard,teal,gadwall and wood duck flank feathers. The third picture are 1/48 chubs on a #8 sickle.

Well Jungle ordinarily I would be able to hook you up with the mallards, gadwall and the woodies, BUT we had a levee blow out and drained our 70 acre rice field. Its about a 15' levee so we wont be fixing it this year. Did I mention i hate beavers!

 

[StumpHunter]

Very nice jigs. You got it going on with the ducks.

 

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Thanks Stump. RD,does that mean no duck hunting this year. I hate beavers,too. Especially when fishing at night and they tail slap the water from about 10 foot away.

 

[Ron Don]

Yep, no ducking for me this year. Guess I'll just have to fish more! Ha yeah the ole tail slap will get you every time.
