Canal, 2oz with 8/0 Forged Mustad Hook

Sometimes you just get bored with tying the plain old fish catching white bucktail & red thread ultra minnow combo...and what you end up with is a 1.5oz Ultra Minnow in Electric Chicken or as some like to call it now Tutti Frutti.


This was a 4oz Ultra Minnow jig head that had been sitting on my tying bench for well over a year. I absolutely hated the way the pink paint job came out and out of the 5 or so shades of pink bucktails that I had none matched it even remotely. I was showing some friends how to tie bucktails and one of them loved the color so I said what the heck I bet I can make it work.

The end result was a mixture of blue, chartreuse and white hackles along with blue, purple, chartreuse, white, salmon pink, and fluorescent pink bucktails. I can't help but to think that the jig would look even better on a shiny tin jig head...maybe next time

Awesome bucktails do you think you will ever be making enough to sell them? And if so how much? thanks

Its a possibility over the winter, I always said I would sell a few here and there to offset the cost of getting new molds. Most of these molds are not cheap
