No collar jigs

[minnowlips]

I've never tied a jig before so bare with me. On a no collar jig do you start with a good thead base on the shaft of the hook behind the head, or some type of glue so whatever your tying on the jig doesn't slip. I'm just not sure.

Just thread and no glue needed at this point. I usually put some where about 20 wraps if not more. I wrap starting at the head and go out to just about or a little past the hook point and back to the head.

I was just getting ready to post that very question.Just to elaborate alittle to most of you guys tie you hair jigs on a collared jig head or non collared?

[deathb4disco]

No collars for me! The collar is there to hold a plastic grub.

[OKSTATEjiggy]

jerker: no collar all the way! It's a pain in the you know what trying to work around or on that collar. I don't know why more places don't sell no collars. Soon as this po' boy gets some Christmas money he's gonna get some no collars.

P. S. Tomorrow at 8AM is my last final for the semester..Literature. Wish me luck!

I use nail clippers to cut the collars off

Delinately no collars. I get all my heads already powder coated and eyes dotted from H&H Lures out of Baton Rouge,LA.

I have bought no collar jigs from Grouse fly and also crappie dentist on this forum. I try and support individuals on crappie.com that make a great product.


My personal choice for tying a jig is no collar. I keep some collars for the customers who want them, or when I fish a plastic tube. Otherwise, you will get a much better look when you tie on a no collar jig.

These are my basic steps that I personally use. I probably will add a few extra steps than other tiers, but to me it makes my jigs last so much longer.

Wrap the starter thread on the hook shank. Add a drop of super glue, or head cement. Tie in a two tone marabou tail. (This could just have easily been a calf tail or craft hair tail.)Add a drop of super glue, or head cement. Tie in Krystal flash. Double over and add a half hitch knot.

Begin to tie in the chenille and black stripe at the end of the tail feathers. Strip off some of the fibers so the inner thread is exposed and wrap that around the thread. Then bring the tying thread to the front. Wrap the chenille tightly about four turns to the front. Secure with a half hitch knot. Wrap the stripes to the front of the jig hook. Secure with two half hitch knots. Cut the extra off close to the jig body. Add a drop of super glue or head cement. Hang the fly to dry.
