Floating Bead Tail Jig

[rawr215]

Played with some floating beads the other day and tied up these jigs. I used mono as the tail. all you do is insert the mono through the bead and twist the bead until it twists upon itself. Relocate the bead if needed to the end of the mono and you have yourself the tail! Use thinner mono diameter for more flexible tail and thicker for less. Can't wait to put these to the test for some crappies, trout and heck maybe even some steelhead.

For my crappie and trout, i used 1/32 and 1/16 oz jigs that are size #4 sickle hooks.

Enjoy the vid

Another cool idea. That should catch some fish. Good video.

Pretty sweet. Good idea. That should help slow the fall of those jigs without sacrificing weight???

Those looks pretty cool! I have done something similar with similar looking tails. I used some silicone material tho and the same beads.
