The REAL Bunker

Sweet paint job! Perty much looks like a shad to me from the baitfish pic you posted. Should do the trick.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

They all look like shad,lol.Now,I need to figure out how to make a foot long one and still be able to it from breaking my rod.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Ran me outta grey thread,I hate when that happens.Another 10 wraps and the flash would have gotten on and done.

 

[blt]

What size thread are you using Salty?

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Walmart sewing thread,lol.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Here's the bottom of that jig.I thought it looked cool there waiting for thread to finish it up.I used Sally Hansons to put a coat over the black dots and make them a little more safe.No comparison to the powder paint,stregth wise.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Not yet Docy Poo,keep forgetting to get my grey thread at walmart,lol.20,000 yards of it.

 

[blt]

I do need to check out Wallymarts for thread and any other stuff they may have. Some times you can score some cheap Peacock feathers there.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

What the heck you going to do with Peacock feathers?lol

 

[cadman]

I did'nt write the formula down,I got it in my head computer,lol.I'm waiting on my eyes right now.I'll get them tied up when I get the eyes on,that way I can put them away when completed.They are going to be the same colored bucktail,olive,grey,white.With some Rainbow pearl flash.Sounds good,anyway,lol.Thanks everybody for the compliments,Wait until you see the Striped Mullet.

Those definitely are different. They look really nice.

Peacock herl is used a lot for tying flies and for jigs. Some even dye it. You can make really great flies with it. Good for body material also.

This is why I go to as many forums as I can find, to learn. Who would have thought making little jigs with what looks like pipe cleaners wrapped around it would be good for crappies lol.

Google it, see what they do with it.....you won't want to waste any for your hat.

Here we are with a new color combo.See if the night time light let's you see it.Notice the new Wally World chrome thread at $0.32 a big roll,lol.

Salty,
Now that looks really fine. Job well done. On the wally world thread. Is it strong, and what is it called? Me likey the chrome thread. Any other chrome colors? Sorry for all the questions.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Cadman,my brother in law went because he wanted me to finish his jigs,lol.The chrome is called "Coats" Metallic Decorative Sewing Thread"Some Spanish words afer that,lol.It's with all the other sewing stuff,ask Doc where they keep it,lol.That's all of your powder paint on there.

 

[blt]

That thread is really nice. As long as you can tie it tight enough, the coating will hold it together.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

You can yank on that threrad pretty hard.

Salty,
I forgot about the powder paint I sent you. I sell to so many people, I forget who got what. Now that makes it a even better looking jig. LOL

Great-looking ties SB.

I use Coats metallic thread occasionally too. :icon14:

 

[SaltyBuckster]

Glad to see you back Doc.

 

[SaltyBuckster]
