Swim Jigs For Personal Use

Featured Replies

Last year, I purchased a number of unfinished jig heads from Cadman. I finally got around to painting and tieing. They include grass, snootie, and poison tail jigs. This should be enough to throw for this season to see what I like and don't.

Warning: No fancy multi-colored jig heads! :(

Grass Jigs:

Hey John,

  Looks like you'v been a busy man and staying out of trouble. Very nicely done. No need to be fancy, fancy doesn't catch fish. My go to color every day on the water is black/blue. You sure do have a wide variety of colors there. Those should encompass the whole  color spectrum for you on all water conditions.

Nice jigs. Some great colors.

Cadman's heads a top notch.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I do fish from heavily stained rivers to crystal clear lakes, but I'm sure there are more colors there than the fish will want. :(

I had the most fun, trying a sunfish combo of three colors.

I do have a bunch of finesse style to do yet, and a handful of spinnerbaits.

Those are some great looking jigs, but I might add, I sure like the looks of that smallie in your avatar...wow.

Really like the shad pattern.

I like the long tail you put on some of those......the ones with the long tails would you add a trailer to those or is that take the place of using a trailer.

The tails were put on after the jig has tied w/wire. I used 1/2 of a rubber skirt band with a few strands of the "wide" type skirt material I had. That band pushes up against the skirt and helps flair it. Most of those swimming jigs are made with just two silicone tabs, plus the streamer. The streamer, I think, helps with a representation of a latteral line. It can be quickly removed or shortened, if a swimming type trailer is wanted. I use the 1/2 band even on the jigs without the streamer.

Look good Fuzzy. I agree on the 1/2 band. Really adds some flare to the skirt on the heads that don't have the big skirt keepers. Keep it up!
