Even dyed a couple patches, neon yellow and pink.
    Do you sell those jigs?

    Another thing I like to do with these propellers is before I put them on the hook I lay them on the table and lightly press on them so they are flatter. I think they catch more water and spin faster on the drop when you do this. ksnouf, Thanks for cutting those two possum hides for me. They make some killer bass jigs. Very nice work.

    Thanks Jim ..was a joy working with you. Am still selling rabbit strips but not tying or cutting anything at the moment as I'm on the island of St Lucia till June. Covid is starting to get bad here but well stocked and looking out over the ocean. Life is good. You make some great jigs....surprised you are sharing so much. Shows your character. Just a nice guy.

    Nice looking jigs.
    I have used a commercial made propeller jig by Northern Tackle with good success.
    I will have to tie a few of my own.

    I got the idea from Northland Tackle Whistler jigs. They weren't tied and had just the blade, bead and different style of hook. You could tip them with live bait or plastics. I'm going to post more styles of blade baits in the next week or so. I'm trying to give the tyers on here more ideas to work with. I field test them constantly and I know they work for me.
