"Pink Marabou Lite Brite Jig"
by ChromeDome
Materials:

Good quality jig
head (I prefer jigs from TC Tackle)
6/0 or similar
pink thread
Pink Marabou
Pink Lite Brite
(or similar material)
Head cement
(optional)
(Step One)
Tie
on thread and build a small thread base; at this point you can hit the
thread with a drop of cement or superglue. This helps to stop the
material from rolling around the hook.
(Step Two)
Select
a bunch of pink marabou and slightly dampen the tie-in tips. Take 6-10 wraps
of thread with a good bit of tension to secure the material in place.
(Step Three)
Select
a small portion of the lite-brite dubbing, spin it onto your thread (wax
may be used if needed) and give the jig a collar with several wraps of
thread.
(Step Four)
Whip
finish the head and add a drop of head cement. To add a
sparkle-buggy look, you can pull out the collar fibers with a dubbing
brush (as shown). At this point, you're done...Go Fishing!. |
