Another great looking hair jig. Keep ‘em coming!

Man, that's a work of art. I'm sure a musky will want to tear into that. For that stinger hook wire, I was wondering if a double barrel crimp sleeve might work to ease some pressure on the threads. You'd have to install it before the final wire bending though. I guess a sold metal bead may do the same function. I was thinking about this because I'm getting ready to add a 4/0 stinger to a custom-tied spinner bait for pike/musky. No matter how robust you think it will be, the fish love to test it out and that's the fun part. It makes you tie another one and instead of live & learn it's fish & learn. It looks great. Wonderful job! I have learned a lot from your videos in such a short time. Let us know how big that musky is.

I really love this one and the 11” squimpish. I think they would be good in river tailwater situations were we fish for musky, or even a cast back bait for following skies

How can I get some of your musky jig flies?

What a great muskey lure. I'm sure you are going to get them to strike it. It was great to see you thinking about doing something new. As far as showing everything you did to accomplish this lure. Maybe you can break the video up into different parts 1,2,3. I believe it would be very instructional to experience lure makers. Let us know how it swims for you. Be blessed. My friend.

Love your creativity and technique. Really an inspiration to get outside the box. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the channel a lot.

best lead for probably any lures. I use gamakatsu iseama 1/0 to 4/0 (and i use the for salt water too). I use marabou with flashabou (synthetic) and a feather of on each side (grizzly rooster) you can add soft plastic on the hook or put a rabbit trailer (zonker). These raccoon fur look promising i need to try (for northen pike)

Greetings from Fargo ND. Nice tie and thank you for the tip about the coon zonker strips!

Why do this and not wrap the zonker strip? It looks good, I am just curious about your decision. I have yet to try a dubbing loop.

Now that was thinking outside the box. It came together nicely. Please tell us how well it moves in the water and if the fish liked it also. Be blessed. My friend.

Spawn fly fish is one of my favorite shops. They do a great job

If you fish a crappie lake, something larger will bite that. I think it resembles a crappie nicely. Looks great! Those jigheads are new to me. I'll have to think of some ideas for them. I've never tasted raccoon but I've smelled a few recently. I trapped and killed 3 of them who were tearing shingles off my roof and also peeling off some vinyl siding. I wasn't about to grab any of their stinky fur or tails for jig material.

Would you add a trailer to this or fish it as is? I just lost the skirt on a spinner bait and might have to give this a try! Thanks for the idea!

I would buy that

Looks great! I bet the smallmouth will love that jig. Well done! Do you ever use small plastic trailers on your jigs?

You tye some great jigs. I believe you accomplished what you was going for with just enough body mass for the tail length. Look real good. Be blessed. My friend.

Nice sucker pattern. Looks like the real thing. I recognize those jigheads. I'm betting Big Bite Baits makes those for Scheels. I use the TRU-X Wally version of the Swimmer Head (same but with a dorsal fin on top). The plain Swimmer only goes to 3/8 oz. and the Wally goes up to 1.0 oz but still retains the 3/0 hook. Those jigheads cut through water well and the hooks are thin & sharp. The only thing I dislike is the bait-keeper wires. I normally cut one of them off or rebend them. They tear up your plastic baits but a little CA glue at the back of the head does the trick. The funny thing is that I was just looking for some jigheads to tie up and I picked out a few of those in my box.

"Dubbing loop? Naw he doesn-....holy cow he does!" Great video!

Very good color combo. Hold on tight to the rod because the fun will start soon when you fish that one. Be blessed. My friend.

Looks killer! The nicely tapered tail will do great on a chatterbait. You can't beat chartreuse in muddy water or lakes with perch in them. Well done!

Marvelous hack!!

The hair colors really mute the head color. It looks like a perfect color combo. The head color is the least important especially when using those gigantic eyes on the jighead. It will definitely catch fish. Great tutorial, as usual.

JF....Polar flash would do extremely well in these style jigs as well.

Keep these coming JF. You will sell a ton of these. Great job.

Hope you tied more than one because the fish are going to try to keep it. Have fun reeling them in. Be blessed. My friend.

Alright JF....you got cameras in my man cave. Picture this exact spinner bait on a custom poured short arm spinner bait in black with a singal colorado blade. You are now getting into my world in spinner baits. Hint.....try using artic fox tail....not body hair but fox tail hair. I also mix in a few blsck strands of black silocone at the head so if you are yo-yoing the spinner bait on deep main lake points at night the silcone actually flares really nice on the fall. I really like this session. Great job and it is perfect. I design, bend and pour all of my short arm spinner baits along with large double willow leaf spinner baits. Thanks for sharing.

What a great spinner bait. It started out like some others looking like a matted cat, but when that happened, I knew it would be a great one. Be blessed. My friend.

I'm gonna try that down-sized to about 2 1/2 - 3 inches for crappie. Nice looking jig.

Anoutger beautiful jig. I'm sure the fish think they will injoy it until you pin them. I hope you will be able to tske us along on a trip or two to see you enjoying your baits and we wi be able to see them in action. Be blessed. My friend.

Hey, great stuff! Can we see some of these lures when they're wet?

A classic beauty! When you're not sure which species of baitfish the fish are feeding on, you can't go wrong with this pattern. My largest musky was on a white & silver spinnerbait. When are we going to see you fishing some of these? I'm sure others are curious to see them in action too. Great work, as always!

JF...awesome pattern. Now you are getting into my color wheel. Will work for walleye, large mouth, smallmouth and spots. Tie it in a 3/4 or 1 ounce an it would kill hybrid and saltwater stripe. Would be a great color for an underspin. Fantastic job JF.

That jig is a great addition to your tackel box and should produced well for you. Be blessed.

Very nice tie!

Well done & nice color combos. My buddy laughs if I ever use an orange jig. It's my last resort out in Lake Erie. For some reason it's the least productive color out there. I usually coat my jigheads with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails or vinyl clear coat. I've seen people dip them into water-based poly too which is probably close to the waster-based head cement. Zebra mussels really do a job on jigheads out in Lake Erie.

Hello Jr. I got something i would like to see you tie. A gold jig head with a black tail with gold flash , gold under body, and some barred white and black hair. I would recommend a video to get an idea from it. This is a fly but i think it mite be good on a jig ruclips.net/video/BG96diBbRYE/видео.htmlsi=MR9Po0FNFUQE41xF

Thank you, for answering many of my questions to help me get started. I ordered some materials from Scheels a few weeks ago when they had a great sale. They even had the Peak vise for $167. I did get a nice pair of Dr. Slick scissors but I bought 2 bobbins which are too small for the larger jigs. I will definitely get those saltwater bobbins. I live in NW Ohio so trout are very uncommon around here too. I mainly fish for bass & walleye and occasionally Pike & Musky if I travel a little ways into Michigan. I also am only 20 minutes from Jann's Netcraft so I surely know how fast the costs add up there. I'm getting ready to place an order on Lure Parts Online and should have no problem meeting the $150 minimum for free shipping. I've finally gotten the hang of whip-finishing which is something to be sure you know before getting too far. At my age, soon to be 60, I couldn't live without my OptiVISOR to help me see better. I purchased it years ago while trying to work with model trains. There's no doubt this hobby is overwhelming & expensive to get into. Your video is so much help and I'll refer back to it many times when I go to purchase materials. I hope others who are starting out find this of great value as well. Thank you, again and I look forward to more of your awesome videos! Greg

All black, or add a little purple, or chartreuse, that and a grey ghost catch a lot of fish. I don’t have any goat hair, think I might try a rabbit zonker strip instead. Maybe I need to get some goat hair. That one looks good!

I would think that if you get it in front of a muskey, he will put it in his belly. So hang on. Maybe you better make another one. Just in case. Be blessed. My friend.

Good class thanks Oregon

Yep, can't go wrong with black. I love a mostly black jig with a little chartreuse or white to give it a little contrast. Very nice neat job! I was wondering if you could do a video breaking down the tools for jig/fly tying. I just got into it and have my Peak vise but found it overwhelming to know what other tools to buy like bobbins, thread, head cement, etc. Another video about materials such as flash, hair, dubbing, etc. would be helpful. You could even hook up with a fly-tying store (sponsor) and list tool recommendations. It might get you a few extra bucks for making more videos.

Very nice

You pour your own jigheads?

I have not seen a jig like that before. I believe the bass will hammer it early summer when there are a lot of small bluegills. I'm sure you will find a good matching color tail. Let us know how well you do with it. Be blessed. My friend.

How many walleye has that jig caught

That is a fine looking jig. I believe when you fish it. The fish will like it too. Be blessed.

Don't kid yourself JF....this is a heck of a smallmouth jig as well. Up north where you are....tip it with a leach and hold on! Smallmouth killer. I fish a 3/32 ounce in this colornon Pickwick during the shad spawn and they eat it up.

Thank you for tying these cool bass flies, please keep it up. You have got me back into tying again
