BlakeMolone Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 A little marabou/hackle craw jig I tied for bfs fishing. I think the Sculpin olive marabou, burnt orange marabou, and ginger hackle look really great together! Should work great for our little smallies and big trout. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric 26 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 @BlakeMolone I m looking forward to seeing what you catch on “them” as I’m assuming you tied more than one of those beauties. Best of luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchA Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I was doodling around with brass beads earlier today and created this: A type of imitation Mepps inline spinner with a #3 brass French spinner blade. Recipe: 5/32 brass bead (i.e. smaller head?) #3 Clevis & #3 brass French blade 1/4 brass bead 5/16 brass bead 5/16 brass bead 1/4 brass bead #6 treble hook w/ red rubber tubing. Hmmm.... I wonder what would tear this up? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stock spinner wires come with one end already twisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchA Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 I use round nose pliers and make a 180° bend, insert the treble hook, and then bend it further, like 270°. Then *carefully* twist the remaining wire around and around by hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdnoble84 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Been in hardbait mode this fall. Flatsides are cedar. The two round squarebills are pine. I beleive the jerkbait is aspen because i weighted it for pine and it sank. I tweaked the weight and now it is a very slow rise. Action reminds me of an x-rap. the blue/chart tiger shad is getting eaten up by walleye and smallies. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macropterus Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I’ve not had much time this fall to get on the water (two toddlers and a pregnant wife), but I’ve pieced together time to make a swim bait! Pretty much all of my knowledge comes from the Marling Baits YouTube channel. It’s a little rough, but I was looking for proof of concept more than I was looking for a beauty contest winner. It’s a medium sinker and stays stable when I rip it upstream in the creek behind my house. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
