Square billed cranks
I really like that black crank myself. Have you done any in that color in like a DD22. I think Norman makes a big black and blue DD22 crank. Should work for night fishing this summer.

Winter is OVER!!!!!!!
Thanks all, JigFish......I have felt your pain this year.....this has been a bad winter for us and it has only really lasted about 4 to 6 weeks. I could not deal with what your having to deal with..... Temps reaching 70 by the weekend......if you like getting groped by TSA your just a plane flight away.

Winter is OVER!!!!!!!
I'm going to go ahead and call winter off early this year. I'm sick of snow and hard water. Here are a few of my last ties for this winter. I was starting to tie on anything that had a lead head. My fingers feel like pin cushions and I'm ready to get bit..........Hope winter ends for everyone soon!!!!!!!!!!

Not Bored..........
Mr. Mallard, I tied up a few marabou jigs on ball head jigs for bass fishing last week. I have also tied jigs with just the rabbit zonkers. You need to get the magnum or Texas cut zonkers if you want to make something like the articulated streamers. To answer your question I have tied both. But unlike you I really HATE marabou. Although it does look very good on a jig. I have to turn my fan off when I use it, it makes a mess, and makes me sneeze. I do think that both of these type of jigs are used much more up North than down here and seem to be tied on ball head jigs much more than football jigs. It seems that everyone down south thinks that a bass jig needs to be 1/2 oz or more in size and must have a weed guard. When I started tying jigs I started tying them on ball head jigs because all the examples that I could find were done on ball head jigs by northern fisherman. Everyone I showed the jigs to had no interest. When I started tying them on big football jig heads......they fell in love with them. I think this may be a good question to post in the lure section.

Not Bored..........
I'm just getting tired of tying and ready to start loosing some jigs. This is what I've been tying waiting on the snow to quit falling and the shad to stop dying. I know.......you northern folks that don't get to spend the winter in Florida are laughing your heads off............

Another Powder Paint Question
Sounds like I need to buy a heat gun first and work with that and then look at a powder paint gun if needed. Thanks for all the info guys......that's a big help and kind of clears things up for me.
