 Stayed inside today and played at the tying desk. Looked at some videos on hair jigs and the biggest majority of them are marabou jigs which is a turkey feather, not hair. So I tied some with hair"hare". Here are a few that I threw together.IMG_5549.JPGIMG_5556.JPGIMG_5559.JPGIMG_5567.JPGIMG_5501.JPGIMG_5504.JPG

Some of the craft hair jigs are more for crappie but catch bass too. Working on black/blue and black/ purple today. Going to hit the fly shops today and try and find some longer craft hair and bigger marabou. I think I might test a few tomorrow.

I can tell you the best glue I ever used was Liquid Fusion.It can be thinned to the point it saturates windings. When you do that part way before you warp the the finish wrap it will sink into the windings then when finish up your windings it will seal they as well. I top mine with a coat at full strength. A 2oz bottle will run you 7-10 bucks. It is water PROOF not water resistant.I have had jig that I used awhile and wanted to change them. I had to use a razor knife to scrape and cut the windings off. Hobby Lobby carries it and so does that big Fly tying supply house in St Louis County.
