I’ll drag them around and see if it fools anything , it’s just a hook and no weight. I’ll drag it 2 ft behind a 1 oz weight

Brett ... without a "head" weight, your jig will likely run with the hook point pointing down .... more likely to hang into anything it comes across, and hook fish in the bottom lip membrane (rather than the roof of the mouth) so that the fish may have a easier chance to come unbuttoned. Not dissing your work, as I think it looks great and should catch you some fish ... just making a suggestion that may help create a more successful bait. And I may be off base in my assumption, but I'm only going on what I see in the picture.

Ya'll leave BigDawggs purse out of this. He shopped in all the green boxes at work for a week to find just the right one !

I use super super glue from Mann Tool in Columbia when doing woodwork to glue parts making ink pens and such. They have some that will literally glue you together, so get their glue dissolver just in case...the stuff works and has a small dropper on the bottle for just the right amount...Good looking jig!

I was wondering if I should tie it basically upside down from what I did. I based it off a floating fly

It should act the same as those gnats folks tightline with I would think.
