Title: Flying Fryes!
Post by: RonDon on 02/10/12 19:29 UTC

I had to take a break from the same ole baits today.  Ive tied in fins on hair jigs before so i thought i would do it with plastic.  These are injected... I didnt pull the feathers in with a needle.  Just lay the feathers where you want and go SLOW.  Two things came to mind when i pulled them out of the mold..... Flying fish and a Penguin!

Hummingbirds when the head is on.  Slick adaptation.  Leave every other cavity empty?

Thanks!

Only the first cavs on each side.  Trimmed the runner to plug the rest of the mold.

Awesome idea. Let us know how they fish.

Waaayyy too cool.  I take it you've done your share of fly tying.
