I have a bunch of vintage Hal-Fly lures. In fact, Harold Barber, the owner/maker of Hal-Fly Jigs was practically family to me, and I learned how to make his product. Check out my Fish Slayer Jig Facebook page, or my website Home Harold Barber (Uncle Hal as we called him) passed away last year at 93. Let me know if I can help you out!

You know, they aren’t hard to make. Just get some of the plastics from some the guys on here and feed the feather w oversized needle.

Yeah .... Snake River makes the "Jelly Jig" & Grousefly makes the "Chet Fly" .... both of which are similar to a Hal-fly.Originally Posted by Lloakley930

Ahh the Hal fly. I remember the originals
well. Yellow and white caught a ton of crappie.

Fished with them myself for over 40 years.
I learned from Harold Barber, and continue to make his lures using his method. I'd be happy to put together an order for you. You can see my product on Home and my Facebook page (Fish Slayer Jigs).
The method you describe is not the way Hal-Fly's are made at all. How would you keep everything from slipping off the hook or back through the plastic?
