    Here ya go Crappiecrazy.
    The fish pictured was caught on the "fly" with the arrow pointing at it.
    #4 jig hook dressed with rubber strand tail and "holographic" pipe cleaner. Not very sophisticated, but cheap and easy to make, not to mention effective. I caught 3 crappie and a bass on it in about 45 min.
    The jigheads on the weighted ones are little drops of solder. Then painted.
    I had 2 nice fish on one of the pink models that day, but I think I tied them on too small of a hook. (#8) Both came unbuttoned and I switched to the #4.
    Gonna tie up some pink ones on larger hooks for my next fly outing.
