Tying the Bluegill Candy Jig

[@scottodonahoe9505]

Pinky jigs that I made in the early 60,s kicked butt ! Plenty of bait fish , Ciscoe, shad , small carp , and sunfish , perch were the main food source and any thing that looked different got their attention ! 1/6 th ounce jig even got me a 9 lb Northern pike !

[@thomasrobinson8960]

You have exceptional talent in teaching us to tie jigs. Thank you for sharing these videos with us.

[@MustacheJigs]

I appreciate it!

[@jamesphillips2216]

Sweet jig!! I can see it working the local bluegill and shell crackers over!! Nice jig and thanks for sharing!!

[@grumpypotamus7143]

You make it look so easy! It takes a lot of talent to not only do something so well but make it look effortless. I really think I could do this, and lord knows I love catching bluegill/sunnies! Thank you!

[@MustacheJigs]

Thank you! Sometimes I forget that it’s not so easy. Best of luck to you if you get into jig tying!

[@miguelquinones8139]

This was such a great little jig to watch! Can’t wait to see what you’ll tie next!

[@weaintfree]

Happened on to your video. Made me want to start tying again. It’s been a long time since I have done some tying. Thank You

[@MustacheJigs]

Thank you!

[@kevinhenrichs4785]

Thanks for your videos. You have opened up another dimension of fishing, that I am hoping to get involved in. Great format 👍

[@jimk4267]

Very nice. An irresistible has always been my favorite for bluegills. This has a similar shape. Nice instruction. Thank you

[@darkfiredDAWG]

Bought my Renzetti traveler vise and tools this past Saturday. I have jig heads, paint, and materials ordered and shipping today. I’ve enjoyed all your beginner videos and I’m going to give these jigs a shot first…orange/black and a chartreuse/black. The whip finishing is going to be the biggest challenge I believe. Thanks for all of your hard work and efforts you put into all of your videos. I know I’ll have more questions once I get started.

[@MustacheJigs]

I love to hear that you are getting in to jig tying! Best of luck!

[@KJMog]

Very well presented. More of this please.

[@smellygoatacres]

For some reason, this video showed up in my recommended. I fish so I decided to check it out. Nice job. Between the music and your monotone voice it's like Bob Ross decided to tie flies.

[@guyh.4553]

Easy pattern, can be used anywhere they are. Even though you may have partially said it but my initial thought was some small size of a crawdad. Going to tie some! Thanks for sharing.

[@alexrawleigh3167]

Mustache not sure if you are familiar with a bait called the keystone. This bait is made by Renoski and is resembles a very small minnow but it is killer on bluegill and shellcracker. Anyway, over the years this small plastic bait has been made with softer plastic and it tears up really easy. I came up with making this bait with UV gel to build up the minnow profile and it works extremely well. Whats unique about using UV gel is you can use sharpie magic markers and come up with identical color schemes the original bait has. The most effect color I have found is perch colored. I tie a bluegill and shellcracker that is similar to the one you shared on this video and it works but the overall profile of that keystone minnow is something special. As always, thanks for sharing and you are doing fantastic with your channel. Take care, tight lines and thanks for sharing.

[@alexrawleigh3167]

By the way if you ever need any materials I will be more happy to send you some. Materials these days are getting more expensive and with production being delayed it is board finding common colors and patterns. I know it costs you money and it isn't cheep. Been tying for 20-25 years so you can imagine my stock pile. Whatever you need just let me know. I enjoy seeing the younger generation getting I to lute design. Take care.

[@silverrain99205]

This video is so peaceful.

[@want2boutdoors274]

Definitely my favorite color and style jig to use..

[@diecastrejuvenation7779]

That's a cool little fly. Easy to tie and looks like it'd be quite effective.

[@baydiesel7553]

Did it with black & yellow, got nailed when it hit the water!

[@MustacheJigs]

Black and yellow is killer! I have a black and yellow pattern jig video coming soon.

[@roderickambrose5566]

I’m new to jig making but you have shown me so much thank you…..

[@dontdoxmebro1780]

Same thing with the legs tied by the head facing forward like a kebari fly has a killer action when jigged.

[@adventuring_with_MK]

That’s an awesome looking jig, I’ll have to try replicating this design someday!

[@markwolf9337]

Very nice jig. Thank you!

[@joeaguilar196]

Thank you for your video from your new subscriber and friend from Austin Texas

[@ronaldmatros9890]

Thanks for the video. Very informative and relaxing.

[@robertmclean9737]

Carry your Scissors when you are tying saves you alot of time.

[@Randy_Samuel]

[@pawpaw5717]

Bream candy on the menu.

[@92Tabler]

For those of us that can't make these, is there an option to purchase them?

[@Pleco79]

cool jig

[@barretharms655]

Color is very important if I find a pattern that I like I will use as many colors as possible on that same pattern. I find for best results cycle through the patterns until you find a pattern that the fish are interested in. Then cycle through the colors all day long because I start at 7 a.m. if I have not found a good pattern by noon. I usually find that it was a very bright night last night. Time to switch to sent bait, the Predators are sleeping. So it is time to attract the scroungers and the herbivores.

[@barretharms655]

Out of all of the things I said this was the one you like okay people will get the most information out of this one

[@adrianbyron9164]

Your videos have inspired me to get into tying jigs my self what vice and stuff do you recommend

[@MustacheJigs]

If you’re looking for a cheap starter vise that’s pretty good quality, I’d got with the Colorado Anglers Super Vise 103. For a pricier vise that you shouldn’t have to upgrade I’d get a Renzetti. I personally use a Renzetti Traveler, but I started with the Colorado Anglers one. Let me know if you have anymore questions, and good luck!

[@michaelrobinson3024]

How can I order ten different ones for blue gills man you make it so easy doing that your videos are amazing.

[@vinceleon5922]

Great video! I haven't got into tying my own jigs but I am a avid crappie fishermen in Louisiana. Do you sell any jigs you make? I'd love to buy a couple dozen of these.

[@kalunvinka]

Where I am from, you just put a bit of white tape on hook and throw it in water, blue gill will take it.

[@geraldqualls7439]

A true master at work. What size jig and hook size ? I didn't see how you tied the finish knot

[@MustacheJigs]

Thank you! It’s a 1/32 oz size 8 hook.

[@campyfishytv2498]

Love it. from malaysia. please make more 👍👍👍👍👍

[@edwardlee9845]

Perfect bluegill bait. Can u make a tiny crawfish 1/48 or 1/64 ounce one please. Would love to see a more durable version of the infamous mister twister panfish mini craw. I’m a big panfish guy.

[@MustacheJigs]

I’ll see what I can do!

[@ernestochavez2829]

You should show how it works on the fish it self and catch a couple on video

[@TheFlytyingluis]

Nice jig, never seen those rubber legs. Where do you get your supplies.

[@MustacheJigs]

I get most of my supplies at FlyFishFood.com, but you can get round rubber legs at just about any fly shop.

[@Michael-dp9me]

I am new to fly tying. Where can you get those rubber legs and what is the diameter of them. Also what exactly are they called.

Can you use other rubber leg materials for the tail? I have some fluorescent chartreuse Silli legs that I might try to use.

[@MustacheJigs]

Any rubberish material works great!

You can catch bluegill with cigarette butts.

[@Hoky_Fishing]

Where is the Best Place I can Buy Jigs in Bulk to Tie With? Thanks

[@MustacheJigs]

Various eBay sellers have them. I just search “round 1/16oz jigs” or whatever style and size you’re after. You can usually get around 100 of them for $20 or less.

[@kenthayer6255]

How can one purchase these?

[@SteveC810]

[@staceymain4563]
