Just playing around with "bugs" ...

[CrappiePappy]

... and came up with these "critters" Rofl



Took some 1" Beetle Spin grub bodies (green w/blk lines down back), some 1" plain Chartreuse grubs, and some brown 1.75" twin tails ... added some Chartreuse w/silver glitter "legs" to the BS grubs - some pink & some clear w/silver glitter "legs" to the plain grubs - some rubber band legs/wings to the twin tails - and some Krystal Flash to the BS & plain grubs.

The pink, clear, & chartreuse "legs" were borrowed from the tails of some tubes that I rarely use ... and the Krystal Flash came from the tails of the tubes shown in pic. Needle is a "sack" needle ... Scissors are the Fiskar Child Size that I use to cut braid. And that lonely looking jighead, in the bottom left of the picture, is a 1/32oz w/#2 gold Aberdeen & Y guard (that I meant to put next to the "critters", for scale, but forgot to Doh )

Thanks to you guys, for giving me the ideas & info on how to modify plastic jig bodies Hands Clapping

Looks like you just need to add water and you are ready to catch em. Nice job making the bugs. I think all fish likes bugs with legs at times and some fish like them all the time. Good luck and thanks for posting the pic. Thumbs Up

You have a talent my friend. It is amazing what you can do to make baits more attractive to fish. Very nice job. Well done there.

I may have to add some bugs to what I have been doing. I have extra squirrel and Kip tail and rubber skirt material. Hmmmmmm. May have to get some more Jilly Jelly bodies from Snake River.
