Saving For Tennessee's Temperate Bass

[Pup]

Tied this craft fur jig over the weekend for the brutish white bass of the Tennessee River. If a striped bass should hit it, well then, I'd better be living right.



Its tail is made from red leather. Though thicker, I have some off-white and purple-colored leather that I've yet to experiment with.

This jig weighs about 1/4 of an ounce and has a 1/0 bronze hook.

I like that classic looking jig.Will catch them for sure.Maybe the bass's great grandfathers got nabbed by that jig years and years ago.

Whites should smack that thing good!

That jig will get em. Looks good with the leather tail.

Better tie a few more in case a big striper runs off with that. Cool tie, love the red leather tail.

That's a great jig! You will love the way the red tail looks wet and moving in the water. I have made some similar with fuller kip tail as a body and xtra long rabbit out the back end. Gives both contrast in color and action. :icon14: :icon14:

Thanks JJ1 and AF.

I do plan to tie several more of these. Read a very good article on white bass fishing that seemed to make a good deal of sense to me. It recommended 1/4-ounce jigs specifically for deep areas below dams. Then, suddenly, the :idea: occurred to me.

Do believe that will do the job on about any fish . Couldn't ask for a better job . Give it a work out the weather is under 100 degrees now fish ought to be a little more frisky .
