Featured Replies

What do you think? I was trying to make some bluegill and crawfish imitators.

I like all of 'em, and the second one in particular.

They look great, I love the third one, the glitter in it realy makes it pop.

Love that bottom one, not to short change the others because they all look fantastic...Well done!

How did you end up tying the skirts if you don't mind me asking?

I tied them with 24 gauge floral wire. It took a few to get the technique down but once I got the hang of it it was quick and easy.

Nicely done.

good job!! now try some hair.

The third one would be a good bluegill or craw color. They all look very nice. It's pretty satisfying to catch fish on baits you made yourself. Good job!

What are rattles? Haha....I started tying my own jigs to save money because I lose too man to pike and rattles would defeat that purpose along with not believing that a rattle could catch a fish that a jig without wouldn't.

Tried them out today and caught a couple...not a bad day after waking up to 31 F degrees!

I tie one that looks like the bottom color. Little bit of blue looks nice. Great job

Look good. Now just need to put on few teeth marks in the paint.

I realy liked the 2nd one...all are nice..nothing beats catching fish except catching fish on a bait you made with your very own hands...good job homie

100x better looking than my first Jig. I keep my first Jig handy to look at every now and then just to see how far I've come.

I also like to show it to my friends and tell them what freaking LIARS They are! I remember the dang day I tied my first Jig, I showed it to my friends and they were all like "Man, That's a nice looking Jig"

I promise you, if you saw this jig laying on the river bank you would pick it up and sling it as far as you could in the river. Freaking LIARS!!! nice looking jig, pffft

LOL, I keep my first swim jig around just to remind me also, what a pos that thing was, it is amazing what practice does!

I have been tying jigs for over 25 years, and some of those look better than anything

I ever put out. I also bought Do-it molds, back when they didn't have many different ones to choose from. We used to use fingernail paint, automotive paint in the small touch ups. They would catch fish just find, but never looked as good. I have a lot of molds but agree with Grizzn N Bassin, I too would like to pick up one of those molds and in the do-it catalog, the hooks don't look quite the same. Is it a Do-it mold.

I would like one of these molds...

You sure you haven't done this before? They look very nice and the proof is in the fish you caught.
