The first jig I ever made was in 1963 We still Make jigs I just don’t post on them very much There are so many different things you can do with a Hand tied Jig.

Still using a candle flame to attach parts of different soft plastic lures together. Testing has been positive - 178 fish caught in three outings since last Month.

Mike, I would have replied sooner but my hard drive had to be replaced and I had no computer for more than 2 days waiting for data transfer.

Plastic film is on the right with plastic poured across part of it at an angle - twice. A glossy floor tile did the trick to be able to cut the shape cut from film on the right with the box cutter blade:



The thicker area (body) was dipped into a Pyrex beaker holding the 280 degree (or a bit cooler) melted plastic with a bit of cooling time between dips.

Final shape after dipping a few times:


These will always be in my tackle box and in different sizes.

Great job my friend.

Thank you.

Mike
