G'day Mate.. great to see someone else tying bunny fur... I am located in Australia and I have been tying full rabbit fur spinnerbaits for over 12years...I notice how you people in the USA tie your colours and weights specific to water temperature and seasons... In Australia we do not take water temperature seriously enough when tying for differing fish species....That is something I shall have to readdress...I am glade I found your channel tonight and yes I have now subscribed to you... best regards to you mate...

Curious why you half hitch over whip finish

Please tie mini-jigs in 1/64 and 1/32 ounce with #8 hooks for stream trout. Are 1/8" cross-cut strips narrow enough for these mini-jig sizes? Thank you. Ron

Neat and clean and hopefully catch a fish. Here in BC barbless fishing only and I saw your one has barb. Thanks

[@joelsjigs9121]

Thanks for watching. The barbless isn't a big deal at all as a simple pinch with pliers will remedy that very easily. Many places up and down the west coast such as BC, WA, OR and CA are barbless and that is what is done with all hooks that are barbed. JJ

[@szycha63]

can You specify hook size and brand?

[@joelsjigs9121]

szycha63 The hook brand is Owner and the size on this one is a 1/0. Many other sizes are usable as well such as the Owner #1 and Mustads #4. You can find the Owners on www.JoelsJigs.com

thank You , what about preferred weights, I think 1/8 and 1/4 ?what colors do You think are best for steelie?

[@joelsjigs9121]

szycha63 The weight size will be determined by the water you are fishing and the target species. 1/8 is a good starting point for west coast and some Great Lakes tribs while 1/32 is a good starting point for most other tribs in the Great Lakes region. The season sometimes determines the head size as well. Summer time typically brings lower water flows so a lighter weight is required. colors are also determined by current water, temperature and climate conditions. To say what colors are "good" would really not tell you much in the way of what steelhead like. Summer fish are different than winters, Great Lakes fish are different than California fish, Oregon fish, Washington fish and up in the Canadian waters as well. Water clarity will also be a big determining factor for color as well. All that said it is best to have a range of colors of jigs in your arsenal because one person has blue as a "good" color on their list while the next never uses blue. have a selection of pinks, oranges, reds, blacks to start.
