Here are my first 2 swim jigs of the season, I used Mo Quack's swim baits as the trailer on these and matched the color to them somewhat. I had really good success last year with these patterns so now I'm making sure I have a few extra, anyway, these are both 3/8oz baits. The top one I like to call "Black Back Shiner" and the bottom one is "Ghost Green Shiner", they were poured using the Do-it Trokar Pro Swim Jig Mold and I'm using 4/0 Eagle Claw 2706 Black Platinum hooks. The picture isn't great but the head on the top jig is silver with just a little tiny bit of candy blue dusted over it with the back done in smoke which is more of a gun metal color, really nice for this kind of thing. The skirt is 44 strands and it is 1 tab of blue interference pepper, 6 strands of clear with blue crystal (flash effect), 10 strands of sexy blue and 6 strands of flat black. The bottom head is a very light dust of pearl white, I hit it with just enough that the shine was knocked off the head but you could still see the lead, then I gave it just a quick dust of candy green, that gives you the ghost effect that you see shine but it has a faint color to it almost translucent, you can do that with any candy color and pearl but it has to be very light. The skirt is 44 strands also, it is 1.5 tabs of green glimmer pepper and 1/2 tab of pearl, the pearl breaks up the green glimmer effect of that color silicone. I don't know the colors of the tails but let me tell you, Mo Quack has some awesome stuff whether it is painting cranks or pouring plastics, the guy can do it all!!! Let me know what you think of my simple swim jigs, these really work well around wood and docks.
