Lets back up a hair...Melvin shows a Plastic curly tail on that rubber skirted jig above. Are you putting tails, bait or minnows onto these jigs and if so how to you keep the tails on or are you just hooking them on the hook. Are these size 6 or so?Lol if I was going to build things like that they would probably look like this I think buck tail would have a big minnow hooked to it
i have all the hooks and never recieved the mold then i got the boat and gave up for now.thats the jig i used for the green and pink ones the black one is way to big.25ct or 50ct 1/16oz Ball Head Jigs Mustad 32833 Steelhead Hooks #6 #4 #2 #1 | eBay
Model # is 32833. These are made per order and are new. The ball head style has no collar. It is a very strong hook available in small sizes. 90 degree jig hook, 2X strong, short eye, aberdeen style, forged, round bend ultra point, black nickel finish.www.ebay.com
Size 2 I think.
well the rubber one i would say from 8-12 mono or floro tied direct the smaller ones from 6-10 floro with a swivel set up with a float.Dont really like brushes with marabou kinda hard to work with.What pound test are you chucking these on and what does the terminal end Look like. Does you line end at a swivel and the 2 or 3 feet of a lighter tippet? Why no brushes?
The jig style has a barb on it if you tied your collar up far enough you could stuff a rubber tail on it.This hook is a 1/0 i think so its pretty big the smaller versions are size 6.If i added a rubber tail i dont think i would add bait.Lets back up a hair...Melvin shows a Plastic curly tail on that rubber skirted jig above.

Try wrapping marabou close to the eye and leave enough room for your rubber critter to lay on the flat part of the hook just behind the marabou try wrapping the marabou like a hackle same as A5 jig video showed just blow on it as your wrapping and it will wrap a lot easierI thought this appropriate for Mariboo bodies and a worn or curly tail jig.
