The Binkelman Jig - My Version
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.
