River Grubs

Purchased some very good suede leather recently to create curly grub tails.  It's brown colored and pliable.  Makes an excellent 3.5 to 4-inch curly-tailed grub.  The jig heads are painted with a "new-to-me" combination of powder paint.  Can't wait to cast them into my local river.


Materials:
  • Two 3/16-ounce ball head jigs with 2/0 bronze hooks
  • Harbor Freight Powder Paint Mixture - red, yellow, and matte black (2:1:2 ratio)
  • Tandy Leather Factory Suede Remnant - dark brown
  • Lion Brand Suede Yarn - coffee
  • Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Thread (40-wt.) - chona brown
  • UNI Thread 6/0 - dark brown
