James Woods Bucktail (Converted to a Jig Style)

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.
