A jig produced by Gapen's back in the 1970s. This is my version of the red-tailed chub. Its name is a bit of a misnomer, as it would appear that the red fur is attached to the collar (or throat) of the jig. To me, this wasn't exactly a fun tie. Wrapping and trimming folds of Mylar (Flashabou) around the circumference of its collar became tedious to me.
Materials:
- Silver Flashabou or Christmas tinsel
- Westrim Craft Fur - red
- Blue craft fur with silver flash from a bolt (Jo Ann Fabrics)
- Two chinchilla grizzly hackles (one per side)
- Gudebrod 6/0 BCS Thread - black
- Danville Flymaster Plus Thread (140 denier) - blue
- Black and white acrylic paints for eyes
- Harbor Freight Powder Paint - red
- Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy for topcoat
- Southern Pro Tackle, Inc. Unpainted Wide Gap Crappie Jig - 1/8 of an ounce
