    Default Simple Man Jigs


    Made a few more jigs from laying around stuff. I can't tie my shoes, but I can run a heat shrink gun. These jigs are not a thing of beauty, but the work.

    The silver head jig is really silver sparkle finger nail polish. Looks better in real time. My camera has aged like myself. Both of us are older models, but still functional. The AV mode doesn't work on the camera.

    Am I making the hair thick enough and long enough? I am experimenting with leftovers. Added some donated sparkle fingernail polish to the "stuff" collection.

    Souls catch crappie s not bad at all!

    Hay Cane Pole it's not so hard to just learn a finish and other than the finish there is not much to wrapping thread so take the next step. You can even learn a hand whip finish to use. I can send you an email video of how to do a hand whip finish.

    Those will do fine Tom. The fish will tell you if they are too long or not. Short strikes will be the teller of the tale. If you trim them I would think that trimming on an angle would leave some of the fibers longer and give a bit more action. With the materials you're using I bet they will survive anything but a tree or something. Good stuff Mister.
