Thread: how many spear head jigs??

If you make one a certain color, you had just as soon make several in case that black headed, two tone red & blue tailed jig turns out to be 'The' color. So depending on the number of different colors you choose to make, you could be looking at close to 100.

looks like I'll have 130 so far, once I tie the last few and don't plan on pouring anymore ....although there is still some in my box for up here too....crap I may need a bigger tackle box

OK, I am almost done with this task, I think I may be getting a little better at the tying ....till next trip or when the lead and powder paint runs out

I would throw some flash in with the white I think that would be hot (silver or green flash plastic or something like that)

too late now, and you know I had some flash too....that I use sometimes on the bigger ling jigs....I did use some flake with the nail polish over the thread on a few
Oh well never know they might not catch anything....the last few I poured I used bigger hooks and finally got some good pours.... after pre heating the hook slightly(dipping in the lead first)....the 1oz jig with 4 & 5/0 hooks for the longer cast and windy days

played with the colors to try and get a pink, not real pleased with the turn out, but there close....hopefully the fish will think so too

Good looking jigs, we'll be down in oct as well
hope the fishing is hot

Do you guys tip your jig with anything like cut bait or shrimp?

belly strip off a spanish....when there biting good really don't need anything, that belly strip helps though.
