First off, very nice jig fly. Ill have to tie up a few. Let me say that at @10:05 where you say "lets get it wet to see the real magic", that's not how the fly looks underwater, it looks like what you show at about @10:00. The tapered wet look is only that way out of the water - thats not what the fish see -this segment might be misleading to new fly tiers. A couple other comments; sharpie colors are not very long lasting and you'll have to reapply color after a few times fishing the fly. Copic lasts a little longer, but you'll still have to recolor every so often. And, if the UV resin is tacky after initial curing, just wet it using a q-tip soaked with 90% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and the tackiness goes away - no need to apply a second coat of non-tacky UV resin. Again, very nice jig fly!
Thank you very much. I have tied a few as of now, and yes they do work. I will say this is not an easy jig to tie, least not for me. So far I have tied 6 and and I’m finally kinda getting the flow of it. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate all your videos.
Great video. Very well explained and illustrated. The jig is outstanding and should put many fish in the bucket/livewell. Congratulations on a job well done.
Awesome!! Super realistic colors and profile!! All your hard work really paid off on this one!! Look forward to seeing the other colors in the minnow jig!! Thanks for sharing!!
I mean the applications of colors are limitless. This is a beautiful piece! I plan on trying this with some of my smaller jighead styles possibly walleye head I’m super looking forward to it thank you
I fell in love with this jig. With my OCD I would flatten head and dip in smoke or silver before starting. Outstanding Jig appreciate you sharing your knowledge.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 A five star Jig .
Good looking minnow lure here sir, Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. The other day, I was out feeding the dog and putting in more water in her swimming pool she loves. I noticed a fly in here water bottle, Best I can tell, it is some sort of large bot file. I mean really big, I am working on tieing it the best I can. Each Time I go out in the kayak fishing, I always take a fly rod, and I enjoy fishing with it, especially this time of year when it is slow going on the summer heat fishing. We have some fish called Bowfin, I keep seeing them roll, hitting some of the topwater bugs in the mornings. I am looking forward to hooking up to one of those prehistoric fishes. Maybe this jig or the new fly will incise him or her to strike at it. They have large teeth, I am hoping the line will work like floss and he won't bike the line off. Keep up the fun videos young man. Dale
That's an Awesome looking jig .Thanks for sharing it. I'll be making some of those let me know if you ever make it to southern Illinois. We'll go fishing.
Do you rough up the jig so that the thread/Material stay on better! I’ve had to watch this video 3 times, it’s an excellent jig. Very real looking and reminds me of a threadfin Shad paint job on Bomber fat free Shad🤙🏾 Well done and well designed, thanks for putting this up and I look forward to watching more of your tying.
Beautiful job! I've been experimenting using thick Loon UV resin and 50LB Fluorocarbon line and making a brush guard on the head with two clips of the fluorocarbon line. Place a drop of UV resin on one side of the head, then hold one piece of fluorocarbon in place with my fingers at the right angle, while using the UV light to lock it into place. Then do the same on the other side of the top of the head and lock it in place. Then I cut the fluorocarbon pieces to the same height. Voila! Instant brush guard the fish can't see, but keeps your jigs, and the hard work making them from getting stuck on a piece of brush or tree branches. Give it a try and see if you like my idea.
I’d really like to see the jig in water. Considering buying the materials from Fly Fish Food. Before spending the money, I’d like to know that it holds its minnow shape in the water. Thanks…
Hey brother that's a good looking pattern and in your video you stated you had to perfect what you presented to us. My question sir is when you tie in that first dubbing with splitting the thread could I use a dubbing noodle in lieu of a dubbing loop or splitting the thread
I tied a few of your ice minnows which work quite nice. I tried added the orange and yellow to the bottom of the jig just to check it out. It looked ice rough but the sharpie coloring washed away. Any clue why? Is it a certain sharpie marker you use?
Awesome jig. Question: Can’t seem to locate “light orange” sharpie but found “neon” orange...could you provide the Sharpie color number? Thanks. Also, who is the tube jig head manufacturer?
@@MustacheJigs Much appreciated, listed as “limited addition”. Also noticed your 1/32 tube jig hook looks to be a high quality jig head. Is it a #4 hook size? Cannot thank you enough for the video!
MJ&F: It might take a little more time to list, but might save questions if you list all materials & products. Such as what type & brand of UV resin used, UV light brand used, etc. I know I'm interested. You use some items I NEVER have, so I have no idea of a baseline to draw from. AGAIN: Thanks for your great creations.
That’s excellent feedback! I do list the recipe in the description, but I forget about things like resin and UV lights so I’ll try include those in the future.

So nice to see folks doing crappie jigs that aren't just Marabou, and chenel. Very nice fly.

Nice work I like tying on 1/80th tube jig heads. Yellow calf tail with pink head! Slays the crappies!!!
Awesome!! Super realistic colors and profile!! All your hard work really paid off on this one!! Look forward to seeing the other colors in the minnow jig!! Thanks for sharing!!
I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! As a newb I'm so very appreciative of your videos! They are all so well made! Thank you again Mr. Mustache! 😆

Very nice. I would have never thought about using a tube head jig. 👍🏻
Love to watch you make the beautiful jigs!!! So professional and you are a wonderful instructor!!! I want to try all your jigs!! 🎉🎉❤❤

Thank. Looks real good. Got my mind thinking already 💯💯💯💯👍🏽
Great, patient explanation. Awesome jig
Simply AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Phenomenal! Great design…
That’s impressive! You’re so artistic.
Great looking pattern.
Never though of tying over a jig head.
Great looking jig!

Well done and well designed, thanks for putting this up and I look forward to watching more of your tying.
I don’t rough it up, but that could work. Also a drop of super glue over the whip finish would be good.
Talent!

I see you make mostly crappie jigs, but I've been using bucktail and marabou in making largemouth bass jigs.
Sounds like a great idea! I’ll definitely have to try that out!
Wow!!! Very nice! Good work!!
That's a cool looking jig
I’d really like to see the jig in water. Considering buying the materials from Fly Fish Food. Before spending the money, I’d like to know that it holds its minnow shape in the water. Thanks…
I love it. I’ll be trying to do one in a round goby color
Amazing work.
The walleyes in Lake Erie would eat that in a heartbeat... LOL
Masterpiece! 👍Thanks!

Absolutely. The result should be the same.
Well done!
Awesome jigs bud. Do you sell them?
Amazing, Thank You
Awesome jig
Very nice!
Stellar
Amazing jig. Very realistic and I'm sure works good. Thanks for sharing
Impressive.

Great video! What size brand and color of eyes were those?
Hareline 3D Gold 3/16”
very nice pattern.
VERY KEWL !!👊🤟
I am interested of buying a few of these are you taking any orders?
Awesome jig. Question: Can’t seem to locate “light orange” sharpie but found “neon” orange...could you provide the Sharpie color number? Thanks. Also, who is the tube jig head manufacturer?
I guess it’s called “leg warmer orange.” Color 1785393.

What brand tube jigs are those?
Awesome
what vise is that?
Killer looking jig. Powder coating the lead jig white,black or chartreuse before tying would be a good idea
I'd pay 120 bucks for a dozen of them. Plus shipping. That jig looks so good, hell I damn near want to eat it.
Send me an email. Brfisherman17@gmail.com
What kind of UV you use?
What size are the eyes ?
Can you achieve this jig without the eyes
You can, it just doesn’t look as real.
Do you sell them?
What size eyes are those?
5mm
Can I get a dozen of them
How do i buy 10 of these ?

Send me an email. Email is in the description.
Interesting way to tie a baby fat minnow.
Yep, it’s the jig version for spin fisherman.
I tied a few of your ice minnows which work quite nice. I tried added the orange and yellow to the bottom of the jig just to check it out. It looked ice rough but the sharpie coloring washed away. Any clue why? Is it a certain sharpie marker you use?
I’ve never had that happen. It’s just a regular sharpie. That’s weird.
Do you sell your jigs.
