It measures about 5 inches long. Tail is tipped with black-colored Darice Craft Fur. Body is Bernat Disco Eyelash Yarn palmered over the bungee cord rubber strip that is tied onto the hook shank.



Jig head is a 1/8-ounce ball head with a #2 bronze Aberdeen hook. The head is painted with matte black Harbor Freight powder.

I have a cedar plug hook 6'' long . You could go wild with that thing . Don't even have to have any weight behind it. When you got tired of fishing with it could consider hauling square bailed hay. Have you fished one of yet. 2.00 to a hole in a doughnut you can get a bass on them.

A bass would have to kill that - JUST to kill it! Very cool.

Also like the matte head. Interesting look. I have some matte NP i got recently, i like they way it looks but haven't had a chance to fish with it to see how durable it would be w/out a top coat that would make it shiney.

Thank you for your comments Guys.

Do wish that I could show a better picture. I have to color adjust my image when shooting this jig against a white background. The jig then looks washed out. :-/

I designed this jig to emulate a fly called a Mardi Gras Bead Snake. Wish that I understood how to furl eyelash yarn. :huh: May have to go hunting for YouTube videos on how to furl it.

That's cool,where's the hook? It's very well hidden that's for sure. It look's like it would have excellent movement in the water.

JJ1,

Thanks for your comment. This yarn moves pretty well in the water. :icon14:

And...the hook is there. The yarn won't get in the way of a hookset like silicone might with the small #2 hook. Had I a 1/8-ounce head with a larger hook, I'd have used it. :jig:

 

[Lost Pole]

That is mean lookin'! You gotta take some pics of it in the water and fished.

Thank you for your compliment LP. I'll try to get pics.

Here's one that I tied last night for smallmouth bass fishing.

Those are to cool!!! Bet that is a lot of work. Nice!

 

[Ron Don]

Another homerun! You're killing me Pup. Fantastic work!

Thank you for your comments SH and RD.

It is a bit of work to palmer the yarn along the rubber strip. Chenille is much easier for me. I think that I'll take a break from tying these and try to field test them sometime soon.
