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 .

Rod Tosser and Turnip,
Let me know when you receive items in the (snail) mail. We are heading out this month to try out both jigs and flies. Will send news and photos of our trips.

Good luck . It was my pleasure sending you the flies .
The ones in the  plastic box where tied  buy me, the rest were from when Steve Casteel bought out a tackle shop .

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

purchase a 4 " clear glass bulb  comes in a 4 pack  I  got them at Micheal's [ craft glass] item number 377446
 May be a seasonal item .
slide bird in head first  then  thread string through  center of cap adjust length and tie off to wire.
 see example bellow

I would have sent it in the bulb  but sometimes  they try to escape buy pecking a hole in the glass . 
no need to hang from Christmas tree only .  Mom's got hers  hangin in the kitchen window .

Salmon king , the pic of Ethan made my day . I am sure he will grow to love the sport as much as we do ,
And will pas that on to some one else . That is what it is all about passing it on .

sorry for spamming your topic Pete but we no longer have pms .

I tied these up a long time ago.  Owner Jigs with hackle feathers.  Target species are White Bass.

Can i get that in rust and brown. Nice job Bob .

Ya, what Trev said!

I've got two orange and brown painted jig heads...just gonna have to get some feathers. Maybe I'll look into getting some pheasant feathers. I kind of like their pattern.

Those jigs are so cool!!! We will tease the crappie with those for sure! Might even get some big bluegills or trout! I love them, thanks!!!

I am bringing this back up so that others can add to it. I still need to do a "how to" topic for this!

I tie my own jigs and flies and am going to start selling them to local tackle shops. I don't have any pictures though.
