After my fiasco with spilled powder paint (see previous post) I decided to just use some blue finger nail polish for coating the jig head.
These flies are for a crappie jig fly swap on a fly tying forum. I decided to take a bucktail panfish fly and convert it into a jig style fly. I choose the James Woods Bucktail.
Original
The conversion
1/32 Ounce jig heads painted blue
Jig heads with painted eyes
Yellow chenille body
Finished Crappie Jigs
Hook: Your favorite size jig head
Thread: Your favorite color
Body: Chenille
Wing/throat: Bucktail
Tying note: Use whatever materials you have on hand to tie these jigs.
Be creative. Experiment.
