Ugly Bug 2011

Received an assist from a bungee cord to tie this jig.  The elastic made for pretty nice legs I think.  No googly eyes or silver elastic legs on this version.


Materials:
  • Unpainted 1/4-oz. Northland Gum-Ball Jig with 1/0 hook
  • Caron Glimmer #5 chenille - apple
  • Bungee cord elastic
  • Machine embroidery thread (trilobal polyester) 40-wt - electric green
  • Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - cardinal
  • Black and white acrylic paints for eyes
  • PermaPoxy 5-Minute GP Epoxy for topcoat
This jig is one of my favorites to make/tie.
