Flipping jigs and a couple of poppers
« on: June 25, 2020, 12:39:24 pm »
 I received a box full of bass flipp,n jigs from a buddy a while back. The thought was to tie jigs for deep water lakers or pikeral. Just cut off the weed guard . This was not why I excepted them. I wanted to tie flipp,n jigs. The biggest obstacle was tying around that guard.  Pain in the a$$ . So get to thinking on how to keep it out of the way . Came up with , a small nail and paper clip solution . Just push the guard towards and over the eye,insert nail through the eye loop and attach the paper clip . Worked great . To get the guard back to it,s proper shape and location, I just clipped the guard to the hook and let it sit for 5 minutes and the jig was back to normal. Knowing they would take a beat,n, lots of super glue and hard as nails was used on the wraps and securing the half hitch knots . Cut some body parts from thin foam. Ya,rubber would of been better, but do not have any. LOL

 

Anyhoo

 

These are what I came up with. They should work .

Nice work Brian. Tied my first fly popper in '86 and was like a kid in a candy store when I found the bass.I absolutely love top water hits. Look forward to some pics.
