Last night, I tied this red and black creature with a "Fish Head Jig" that was produced by a very fine jig maker hailing from Louisiana. The jig's name, "Red Raider", came about while thinking up the jig's color scheme and about West Texas, Lubbock, and Texas Tech University, specifically. Why not? Makes sense, right? ;)
Materials:
- A 3/16-ounce "Fish Head" jig fitted with a 2/0 black nickel sickle hook
- Boot lace
- Darice Craft Fur - red and black
- Caron Glimmer Yarn - black
- LashMax Yarn - Black Star
- Gudebrod 6/0 Fly Tying Thread - black, 125 denier
- Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy
- Orbit Powder Paint - clear
- Harbor Freight Powder Paint - matte black and red
- Eyes are homemade from black acrylic paint, tin foil, and hot glue
And, in case you might be thinking so, Bobby Knight had nothing to do with this. :) ;)
