I received an order for some assorted walleye jigs. The painted jigs were sent to me and I put some feathers on them... 
The pics are a little dark but I think you can get the idea. I only have 20 more to do...  Please feel free to add comment and / or pics of your own!  These are 1/8 and 1/16 oz. jigs. LM since 2005 Bushwacker Deputy Sherif from S.E. Pa. |

Thanks for the complements, guys! But anyone can make these. It just takes a little practice. The hard part is trying to find a pattern that catches fish, wherever that may be! I'll post the last 20 when I get them finished.  LM since 2005 Bushwacker Deputy Sherif

I had a problem with posting pics too. but I finely got it after about 6 tries .jpg)

Excellent work Pete. The patterns and colors all look to be a perfect fit. We all know it takes time and patience and I'm certain the young fella will love testing them out. BTW...I posted a couple pics of the trout and salmon lures turnip made for me to test on the trout/salmon up here. They're posted in the "Trout/Salmon" section.

Nice jigs Pete! You have a couple of patterns that work real well out here. That chartruce with the white tail has been good for Walleye and Smallmouth. Another good one is a chartruce body with a orange tail. The smaller ones, 1/16 to 1/8th for panfish and trout. 1/8th to 1/4 for Smallmouth and Walleye. You also have one in the first bunch, a white with a chartruce head. Trade out the white tincle thread for orange or black or both. Outstanding work buddy. You need to number the darn things, lol.

Very nice looking jigs. I like the bright colors. I had a few worn out crappie jigs and recently freshened them up too. There are also a couple of bucktail jigs I tied a while back in the picture.

Well Turnip seems you got me motivated to tie some feathers onto some 16th oz. jigs I've poured. Just straight feathers no body wrap with turkey feathers. I'm looking to mimic tuffy minnows, I hope. If they don't look to bad I'll try to post the pictures. |

Whenever I am experimenting, gathering ideas or just building up the nerve to tie a new style streamer, I will often resort to tying a few jigs...
Sometime in early July I will tie a new pattern streamer (for me). Hopefully I will do a good enough job to put it in the fly swap this winter...  |

You can tie streamers on jig heads have you thought off using colored glitter or frosted fingernail polish for the thread wraps .
dont be afraid to run colored permanent markers over the body browns and blacks are amongst my faves . |

No, thank you to you both. Ethan has such a big heart, he wanted to pass on the deer tail. You guys stepped up though you didn't need the tail. Again I thank you. Rod, You are going to have to explain the humming bird again. I have tried finding a case for it, but I get a funny look from the people at Michael's |

Earlier this year my wife asked me to make some jigs with the feathers on them for the church bazaar. So, this spring I painted and tied some up (about a 100 of the rascals). Today I managed to finish them up  ...
All the jigs will be donated to the church fellowship group...I didn't think I would ever get done! |

A couple of weeks ago, at the Finger Lakes Meet, Susan (Ishouldbefishin) gave me some feathers from her chickens. I must say that these birds are show birds (IMHO)! So I tied up some jigs for her and her daughter...
These are 1/16 oz jigs that I painted and tied. Hopefully Susan & Celeste will remember me when they hook ito a fish with one of these puppies!  |
