This video makes you wonder if folks around the web are watching patterns from here to tie video's!!!

They outta just join up and have some fun...

They had to have been at a show somewhere with all the background noise.

I agree, It is a nice pattern. Gonna have to try that un this winter.

That style has been popular for many years..... interesting take on the traditional.

I like it,little different than mine. I might have to do a few with craft fur. I know they work.

 

[StumpHunter]

I'm sure he looks in. Good video either way.

Doug will bet Dollars to Donuts that a lot of the " new innovative stuff "that is currently out there came from right here. Stuff that we have been playing with for a long while. Watch the next big thing that will sweep the tying community will be the wool and satin jigs. Guess you have time to blow your own horn when someone else does all the hard work.

I posted the jigs in the tying section

I know there are a lot of "lurkers" on different tackle making sites, the doll fly is an old jig that has been around so I doubt it came from here but you never know. A good example was on Tackle Underground Cadman was showing us a way he found to make the weedguard hole in weedless bass jigs much easier using teflon pins instead of the regular steel base hole pins. Well about 4 months or so after a few of began using the teflon pins, low and behold, they were now showing up for retail sale at Janns and Barlows and I never ever heard of anyone else using these so I figured it came from that site.

SJ - Saw that and yeah I didn't see it anywhere else!!! I half expect to see the changes I made to the Slab Daddy Supper frame to show up as a new product for them!!!

There are a couple of the big boy tackle companies that i know are watching and several other smaller companies. Not much out there that hasn't been thought of, they just come and go in popularity or changed for species..... just look at how someone took the general idea of the spreader bars and umbrella rigs for marlin - downsized they become the ever so popular Alabama Rig. Sebile has had some cool crank designs that are pretty innovative. I also remember when suspending cranks first came out...... such a simple idea. There is one member here who i have been surprised their custom head design has not been copied yet - but don't think it is eye appealing enough to catch the oh so important fisherman before it can catch fish.

Always happy to see fresh ideas - even more so when i can fudge them and come up with something close on my own.
