New Jig idea - Squid (PIC)

Willow Drifter · 03-01-2004, 07:10 PM

Here is another Jig I have been messing around with. Salmon and steelhead eat squid in the ocean soooo...maybe this will work. Plus it is a good excuse to use my squid smelly jelly. :grin:

Good idea. It looks good to me. Let us know how it works.

fishnpray · 03-01-2004, 08:09 PM

W.D.-

That won't work at all. Matter of fact, it might be dangerous to your luck to keep it around. If you'll just mail it and others like it to me, I can properly dispose of them for you at no cost!

:grin: (Really though, let us know how youdo!!!)

Now that looks fishy. Let us know how it works once you get a chance to try it out.

Looks fishey

That jig looks sweet! However, I've always been told that putting scents on your jigs will ruin them.

Willow Drifter · 03-01-2004, 09:52 PM

Thanks for the compliment on the jig. If the scent ruins it....I will just tie more. :grin:

Bro, take it from a guy that got 100's of steel on jigs,that jig is tight,you pitch that out you'll get bit. I'll take 20

corrirod · 03-01-2004, 10:36 PM

I doubt it will work but I can try a few out for you if you'd like. Just send me about 20 of them to start and I'll go ahead and waive the normal $100,000 I charge to do the R&D testing, since your an Ifish member and all.

Looks good to me!

IIIIIIIIII LYK IT!

Both very nice.
tell us about attaching the bead.

Willow Drifter · 03-01-2004, 10:55 PM

The bead is the easy part. It has a heavy duty pin through the center. The pin is secured to the shaft of the hook with kevlar thread. I actually like to use a thread by Gudebrod called GX2, can be spun flat so you get a very smooth working surface and is wicked strong. The bead is not going anywhere. :smile:

When you rig do you rig the same as Vedder?

He sets a tubular foam float on the mainline in a way that it wont move below that he has an in-line slinky and then some leader to the jig. He tries to run it as close to the bottom as possible.

I use a cork bobber with a little heavier jig, which I tie. I set the jig on the ground and set the bobber somewhere between my hip and ribs. It keeps the depth consistant.

Yours is more a heavy fly that a jig. Don't you think? If you tied your squid with red it would kill the sockeye on the Russian in AK.

That looks great! Where can I buy one? [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]
We need a full report after you fish it.

FrogPond · 03-02-2004, 07:05 AM

that's cool...how did you do the eye?

Twitchs_Tackle · 03-02-2004, 07:21 AM

Thats a great looking jig! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] Thanks for the picture.

Hooker · 03-02-2004, 07:30 AM

Scent will ruin your jig if you put it on the feathers. Just put enough scent on the jig head to cover it. The feathers will not be damaged if you do this.

float2ber · 03-02-2004, 10:03 AM

That looks great. Do you mind posting the recipe? Looks like crystal chenille body, but not sure what the tentacles and collar are made of.
Thanks.

Fish Hawg · 03-02-2004, 10:29 AM

Willow drifter where you coming up with all these great ideas. Wish I had an imagination like that. I like the worm and jig setup you showed. I also like this one and it looks just like a squid give it a shot and let us know.

Drakeblake · 03-02-2004, 03:49 PM
