Senkosam Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 (Repeated from fly-tie forum) For those interested in a completely artificial skirt. I'm kind of new at tying and the quality of the tie stills leaves much to be desired, but I decided to fish some jigs with only Krystal Flash and artificial hair. Last week, in 49 degree water, I caught bass, pickerel and panfish on silver flash, green/orange irridescent flash and, pearl/green irridescent flash jigs. The action was amazing and the skirt could be made to flutter, ripple, dart and glide. The skirts were double the length of the hook and full enough to simulate a large body or small school of bait fish. This week I'll try the spinnerbaits shown which are actually panfish spinnerbait forms in 1/8 oz. Also pictured (poorly) is a black Krystal Flash jig with blue flah and a bit of dyed bucktail. I've attached a craw trailer that has worked with living rubber jigs on standup heads. I'll get back to you if this one produces.
