Plan B Jig & Nothing Fancy Jigs

Tied this one over the weekend. Attempted a chenille body that wasn't going to work, so I broke out some Holoshimmer to finish up.  Here's my "Plan B" jig.

Materials:

• 1/16-oz. minnow head jig with #4 hook.
• Turkey feathers - bright yellow.
• UTC Ultra Thread (olive) - 140 denier.
• Sulky Holoshimmer - sliver metallic.
• White acrylic paint for eyes and basecoat.
• Black acrylic paint for eyes.
• Maybelline Nail Polish for head paint - Go Go Green.
• Devcon 2T Epoxy for topcoat.
• Flymasters (Wapsi) Flashabou Accent - fluorescent chartreuse/pearl.

I've seen so many good-looking jigs being tied lately, that I thought I'd post a couple of dull ones. :) These are my "Nothing Fancy" jigs.



I think that the one to the left might be worth trying on dark, cloudy days. The one to the right might be a little bit too "rusty" (as in...rusty crayfish). Maybe, a brown bass getter?

Both do have a bit of flash in the back end and each weighs 1/16 of an ounce. Hook size is #4.
