New Idea...Wing Jig

[skiptomylu]

OK I need your input as to if you like my idea and if you think it will work like I intend it.

I tied the jig different so the feather would be in the shape of a wing and I also coated the center of the feather so it will keep away from collapsing on it self. I am hoping it will act like twin tails made from feathers. I can make them in other colors also.

Anyway what do you good people think?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Great idea you have there.

Just where in the world did you find those color pokka dots on feathers? :D

Again you never cease to amaze me with your great looking jigs. Not only do they look great but I bet they will be catching a plenty of those slabs.

Looks awsome could be wings or legs. GREAT LOOKING JIGS!

[minnowsoaker]

I like it.

If they are in the mood for a slow falling bait w/ a larger profile I think it should work well.

Great job on this as I may try to copy it and add a small amount of crystal flash coming out the back. All I can say is outstanding as you have the art!!!

Nice looking jigs Skip. I don't know if I showed you the pic of some of the hair jigs that we use. (no I didn't tie them) But it is a good pic of some hair jigs with "wings". And for others that tie, maybe yall can get some ideals off of them too.

They are guinea feathers.

Thanks guys I appreciate you opinions!

jlaughlin72, those are much like the fly tiers use and I like that as well, but I am going for a double tail that may have a great little wiggle. I have it where it will be stiff for a very short distance coming off the middle of the feather and hope that will hold the 2 wings apart even when wet.
