Dirtyeggroll Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Hi all, By recommendation of a member of a different forum, I have come here for your help. I am hoping someone can replicate a jig for a fishing mentor of mine. I am pretty sure it is a 1/4 ounce jig with a mustard wide gap hook. I think the colors are olive (or dark olive) and chartreuse. I am not sure of the material (buck tail vs. maribou vs. craft fur or a combination). I will pay a premium to anyone who can replicate it for me. Thanks for your help! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CapyLPeV4Vw Edited May 14, 2020 by Dirtyeggroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly voodoo Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I hate judging material by pics but I will try If I am seeing it right it’s a coarse stiff hair on the outside that I assume is bucktail. The inside if it is a softer fluffy material it is likely marabou spun around the shank In my hand I would know right away but pics are tougher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for playing along and giving your input though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyman_aj Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 That is olive/brown marabou. The yellow looks synthetic to me. Looks like wing n flash of something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I believe Hillbilly is correct. I zoomed in as much as possible and I am sure that it is marabou spun on the shank and bucktail over it. The material Flyman is talking about is not it, but it would be an upgrade for sure. As for colors, the two pictures are so different that it is clear that you will need to take it with you to a local store to match (never possible completely). The jig head is an old head that I have not seen for some time, but lureparts.com has some that would be close, and even an update as well. https://www.lurepartsonline.com/Lure-Making/Shop-By-Product-Category/Jigs-Spinnerbaits-Buzzbaits/Jigs/Bass-Jigs/WeedlessBassJigs/ClassicSeries?page=1 This one would be my suggested one. https://www.lurepartsonline.com/1826-Super-Stroke-Swim-Jig-5pk As for the grub, you are going to have more issues. Because there are two pictures, each looking different, you will need to do some searching on the web and "roll the dice". This looks well fished, so we don't know if there was a color fade. I would never agree to make some for a customer that was a perfect match, but I am sure you can get close enough for the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close is probably good enough, and probably even better than the original. Edited May 15, 2020 by Dirtyeggroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the video was helpful, but because the camera kept refocusing in it kind of hurt my old eyes. Yes, we do have people from one end of this big old earth to another. Hillbilly is right again.

cz75b Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 That looks like a sculpin head too, available via most fly tying suppliers and easy to replicate with some silicone (as I'm told) https://www.fishusa.com/FishSkull-Sculpin-Helmet-Fly-Heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks like a 1/4 oz ish Do It Poisontail mold to me. Do-It Poison Tail Weedless Jig Molds - Barlow's Tackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 It's a Do-It poison tail. The marabou is tied on first then the buck tail is cinched . After that the flash (yellow pearl) or synthetic is added . Finished tying the throat and clear coat the threads. Epoxy in the weed guard, Add grub of choice. Looks like Brown top hair , bottom hair olive. Can't tell on the marabou but if I was going to put it in there It would be black to complement the other colors.

Apdriver Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Toadfrog is spot on. Master Tacklecrafter. I bet he might do it for 10 bucks a jig. Maybe 9.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Awh shucks I ain't no master at nothing. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don't think I ever charged 10 bucks for a jig. But that thing has them dang Gamy hooks in it I bet . E.C. and Mustad have served me well all these years . Never lost a fish from breaking or bending . But then my fish usually just have a head and a tail hanging from my hand when I get the hook out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
