Title: My First Poison Swing Tail
Post by: Lines on 05/09/22 19:13 UTC: Finished my first Poison Swing Tail today.
3/8 oz. Candy red base coat, candy blue sprinkled on top.
I like the way the candy blue settled in the lower eye sockets.

Nice.

Nice.
I thought so too, but I ordered the wrong size, so instead of waiting on more, I just decided to use them.
Live & learn :)

Dressed it up and added a trailer to see how it looked.

Thank you efishnc.
Got more of the effect I was after with the bucktail this time.
After watching Jwirth and smalljaw videos I learned a few tricks. Thanks Guys!!
I was looking for more of a hackle style rather than a tail.

Post by: efishnc on 05/12/22 15:22 UTC: There was a time when I was really in a groove using bucktail jigs with plastic out back... besides the swimming action, the plastic helped push the hair out to make a bulkier jig (on a regular style jig)... now that you got me thinking about them, I may have to make some again. ;D
