Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
It’s square but so old I bet I got it back in 99
I really don’t recall where it’s from
But I ran out of brown and got it from Andy’s and it’s very close

For a long time square was hard to find. I used round rubber frog hair fine in its place

Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
I use 4/0 3/4 oz
Gami hook. Pour my own head. Powder coat
I’m a filpper. I grew up as a youngster with my dad who never really got into bass fishing but his co worker friend were Dee Thomas
I ended up fishing with Dee a couple times
I like to flip old school with a crock of line in my left hand following the bait out. Dee taught me how to suspend the bait in mid air just before it enters the water creating a silent splash less entry
My jig is build for that.
Using a Ganns hummer jig 3/4 oz black blue pork trailer I caught my personal best. 14.88 flippin Mr Thomas style in 2013 on the delta
I miss seeing the red boat

JVGondal do you tie finesse jigs like lions collar type jigs. I like tying them in Fine round rubber and Silicone accent material and fishing them on light line. 6 to 10 lbs test.

Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
I can tie them on Football heads, Bullet heads Arkie heads, Standup heads, Chub heads, Walleye heads or pretty much any jig head that you can pour yourself. I pour all my own. But i do like the punching jigs from fishingskirts.com Grass Invader jig heads in 1oz. & 1.5oz. weights. I starting tying the lions collar jigs in 1992 for Eastman & Hensley Lakes Millerton, Pineflat, McClure, Tullock lakes. In 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 & 3/8 oz. Sizes

Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
The trick with the bucktail don't use any glue too anchor the thread no need to the the round rubber will hold it in place. Even if you tie bucktail by itself never use glue. The trick is in the tie it will never fail or come apart.

Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
I am finding that some of the square rubber I have is different.
Some stretches more and peels apart better as you stretch cut it
That is the old original I have. Unfortunately it’s green that I don’t really care for. That’s why I have some left

Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
The old living square rubber had a great stretch
memory when you cut it. The Andy's old school flat rubber didn't the last time I tried it. It been awhile since I did. I'm going to try it again too see if they improved it since then. The flare of the rubber is what I was disappointed in with making the lion collar jigs and the puffball jigs. So will if it works this time

Oh I see now.
For me it works fine for delta flippin
With the delta ramp 10 minutes away it’s hard not to spend most my time there
I mean it’s so giant if I get tired of fishing an area I just drive 30 minutes and the same delta is like another whole lake

Re: What to do when its112 degree outside
If I lived in the Modesto area I would most likely fish the same lakes and Bowling leagues at Yosemite lanes and McHenry lanes I would be set then. I might even do jig tying and lure building classes. There a few different ways to tie skirting material for the do it yourself person that wants to learn. I'm not into YouTube stuff it has it place. But I'm more and in person hands on type in teaching lure building and skirt tying. I've watch guys trying to tie a puffball style jig on YouTube it's very painfully to watch for 15 minutes or so. They don't do justice for either the lions collar or the puffball style jigs. Its called finesse style fishing.
