Thread: Octopus jig

Tied this jig up today. I just finished making the mold this morning and just had to make one. What are the thoughts on it.

I am so digging it! Very cool looking jig! It'll be interesting to see how it does! What's the weight of the jig head?

Unsure of the weight as of now. I am gonna weigh it in the morning. I am guessing between 1-2ozs. I sculpted the head from modeling clay the cast the mold using a high temp silicone. I used a 6/0 stainless hook. Marabou feathers and hackle for the tentacles.

To clarify the head is lead. After reading sounded like I made it from clay. Lol.

Looks great and aptly named !! Thanks for sharing .

Thanks for the comments here is another one I made today. Spent most of the morning pouring some up but had to toy with some more colors. I will weigh it tonight at work my scale is dead.

You might look at Silly legs instead of feathers. Looks great. Silly legs are fly-tying products usually come in 6-10" lengths. It is a awesome Jig.

I will check them out. Thanks for the compliment also.

Lurch154,
I would like to buy a couple of those from you
