Didn't manage to catch any fish in the maybe 10 minutes I fished. Spent as much time walking to a couple spots to clean up alittle bit of garbage. The dag gun beer cans had been there awhile so I figured their time had come.
Also, someone had asked what one of my jigs looked like awhile back so took a quick pic of it. VERY cheesy and simple. Uh, and excuse the oldtimer's rotary vise. Hopefully Norm doesn't see it LOL (especially the lousy-tied jig!). The Nor Vise has improved over the decades but even this functions very well still.
Anyways... It's very easy to tie and fast. My 8 year old ties them no problem. I use some dyed pink turkey feather for tail (cheaper than marabou), a little piece of pipe cleaner wound around the cheapo Cabela's 25 pack jig hook (1/4 ounce) starting at tail and winding forward, then make a small whip finish either below the upper jig shank body or else wind the pipe cleaner all the way up to the head and finish it there. It's a bit quicker just winding it on the lower half and seemed to transition to the main body OK so I left it that way on this one giving it a bit of 50/50 pink color look. Pinks don't care though LOL. Maybe a coho might.
Why 2 stars? Cuz I caught garbage :-) Gotta clean up after the massive pinks fishing crowd. Have fun out there all.
