Dunno y I can't edit. Must be one of the special new features or I'm just slow, which is prob the case. Escalate was supposed to be sacalait.
I'm pretty confident in my sacalait jig tying but was completely lost when a buddy gave me some heads to tie up jigs for redfish
I did this one and have no idea if I did it right or if I used right materials or. Well just about everything.
Any help, tips, tricks or advice would be appreciated bf I go messing up any more jigheads.
Thx,
Adam

Use buck tail . White , yellow , chart. you can throw in some pink ,orange or flash . Red throat and the thread neck should be roughly half as long . Just my dime in the juke box . Tied around 100 this month . The jig you tied is not a bad job . Hang in there buck tail is a little tricky .
Y'all never use a blue white and olive combo? Like a crab? Redfish tear that combo up, here.
Actually the most popular colors I've heard recently are LSU colors.
Yeh I did the partial Marabou/bucktail Bc I saw Lefty Krehl tie it on his DVD.
Will work on just bucktail then. Thx guys.
Hey Adam -
Try Sparkle Hair (TM) around 2 1/2 inches long and the thickness of a pencil on the back of a plain 1/8-ounce jig-head. Pink and chartreuse (Electric chicken) or solid purple are good colors, and if you really want a killer, add a #4 gold safety-pin spinner to it.
"DNA Holo Fusion" is also a fine substitute for bucktail, but to me, not quite as good as "Sparkle Hair".
Bon chance.
Pete
