Kelly Craws

My latest Crawford-style jigs.  Each weighs about 1/8 of an ounce and has an approximated 1/0 hook gap.

Materials:
  •  Darice Craft Fur - kelly green and brown
  •  Black and white acrylic paints for eyes
  •  Harbor Freight Powder Paint Mixture - black/red (1:1 ratio)
  •  UNI Thread 6/0 - dk. brown
  •  Orbit Clear Powder Paint mixed with emerald green glitter (extra fine)
  •  Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy for topcoat
  •  Barred saddle hackles - green and brown (2 of each)
  •  Original Buffalo Hay 'Hay-Lites' - orange
  •  Southern Pro Tackle, Inc. Unpainted  Wide Gap Crappie Jigs - 1/8 of an ounce
'Hay-Lites' is a decorative product that I've substituted for Flashabou. It's comprised of 100 percent polyester, so it's a Mylar film.  Looks great on the vise.  I sure hope it looks and moves well under water.  The wide gap jigs are new to me as well.  Scorpion tails with stingers! :)
