3 Top Secret Custom Jig Colors You Need To Have! 

matt can you make small finesse jigs with that tool and skirt material

You can make a tool out of a Bic ink pen and get a big paper clip, just leave the writing end on it but pull the ink tube out and throw it away,then get a piece of paper and run the ink out of the tip cut the pen cylinder down and bend the paper clip straight with a hook on the end! Save yourself some money

Great video. We've used dog and cat hair. Then my buddy brought over some clippings from his horses and mule. Great for big hair jigs :)

Beast Coast makes swimjigs with tinsel

Yeeaa buddy those jigs are awesome I would love to have those you've got awesome combinations those are bass slaying lures !!!

You're living the dream. I live in Chicago and plan to move to Northern Wisconsin. Where do you get these skirt colors from

Does anybody know where to get the purple color in bad bluegill, also name and number of purple skirt color and what web site. Thanks

Pretty cool making your own skirts. I'd love to try this but how do you get a weed guard on?

That black and blue with chartreuse is killer on spinnerbaits..

Where do you buy your skirts, and do you use living rubber in any baits?

That gave me a great idea my dog is the same color of a bone colored Super Spook Jr. so I took some of her hair from a haircut she got recently and used it to make the tail treble a dressed treble, It’s a perfect match!

I started making skirts last year the purple added to my black and blue was a game changer on a casting jig especially for big bass

Can't find these jig maker tools anywhere

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I noticed you didn’t include olive orange with a splash of chartreuse or killer blue

In case you ever come to California, you’ll want to know that DFG stocks some lakes with fingerling trout. A review of skirt material history might be a fun future topic.

Where do you purchase your skirt materials from?

Does anybody know about gourd green it's a deadly clear watercolor but I haven't been able to find it Matt if you can find this color in a jig let me know and I will buy it

Thank you, I also use Chartreuse accent strands, it does make a difference.

I like this one. That blue gill. I’m going to write ✍️ down the recipe. 😊

What an awesome channel, thank you Matt for sharing all these tips!

I have a Goldilocks jig of my own that will blow your mind. It will change your fishing.

Matt, where can I find the rubber band material as well as the tube for sale?

Hello again Matt, Thanks for all your tricks of the trade. I am looking to put together the white swim jigs with chartruese and white skirt. The only gold tinsel I have is not a perfect gold color. Looks gold but has a a purple and red hue in it. Where could I get ahold of the gold tinsel you use. Is your gold tinsel straight gold color?

What about the Bumble Bee Jig?

I need your rod rack! sick!!

Another great thing if you’re going to make your own skirts is you can easily hand tie your jigs once you get the skirt on by tying a couple wraps and cutting the band off. If you do this you can add big streamer feathers to your skirts. I tie some feather underspin jigs like this. Like a buck tail jig but with white hackle instead of buck tail. It looks amazing in the water and catches fish really well. It’s also one of the coolest ways to run a bladed jig. Picasso makes a feathered version of the shock blade and you can tell the hackle does what chatterbait trailers try to do even better.

Love this color combo. Siebert Outdoors makes a similar one called Alimony. I also throw a green pumpkin with 4 strands of a purple w/ purple or blue flake and 2 strands of chartreuse like this one. Two strands is much more noticeable than you’d think before you see it

Really love to see the fly tying materials incorporated. I’ve been tying flash and tinsel into my jigs and spinnerbaits since I started fly fishing years about 8 years ago. Really love a bit of purple flash in my junebug jigs and 1-2 strands of red flash on each side for my white swim jigs.

Beast coast makes swim jigs with some of that flashy stuff. Really nice

Matt, do you experiment with more bulk in tannic water and less material in clear water and does seasonal patterns come into play as well?

It’s too bad you couldn’t put the exact color and website in the description so we could make it. Great video non the less.

I build a color really close to that bluegill for the Potomac River, I hope you don’t mind but I am going to try yours also because... damn that looks sexy !!!

Great video

Awesome information and appreciate the tips. Good luck in 2022.

Awesome Matt, thanks for sharing this. What color trailer do you typically put on "The Big Chip"? Also curious where you find your gold tinsel?

I run my tool through the other way does it matter. I have a little trouble using 3 or more layers of skirt. Should I turn it around and can u use some kind of lube in the tube?

Hi Matt: I was wondering when placing Goldilocks skirt on, do you do yellow on top or bottom?

Was wanting to get into making my own jigs but like all the jig skirt colors I want are out of stock everywhere

Cool 😎👍❤️🎣

I love making my own bass jigs. Nothing is better than catching a nice fish on your own jig. Thank you for sharing these great recipes!

I also make my own skirts. I havent tried the colors in this video but I will now. We’ll see if they work in Oklahoma.

Pretty new to your channel but really like what I am seeing/learning from you. I use Boss for my jigs and also put my own skirts on.

Love it! What trailers do you recommend for each color jig?

This Alabama shake technique has intriqued me. Sorry for all the questions. On your video you mentioned you do this with a blue gill colored swim jig also. The meaty chunk has only about 11 colors. Which color would you recommend for bluegill and the black and blue swim jig? Thanks again, I have told a couple friends of mine about your website. I believe they will be checking it out. You come across really good on camera with the way you explain stuff. I check out your web site just about everyday. I pretty much fish pool 9 on the Mississippi river at least once a week.

Fish jigs a lot never try them before need to start thanks Matt grant video

Thanks for showing how to do this! I've got all the stuff now to try all sorts of things, but these colors will be the first I make. Mimicking the forage seems to be the key.

I appreciate your willingness to share these tips. Besides it makes creating your own custom lures rewarding.

Thanks Matt! Exactly what I was looking for

Matt, That's one of the best skirt building videos I've seen, thank you. That "bad bluegill" color is killer!

Awesome tips. Awesome channel just subscribed to it 👍

Matt, thanks for the info. I fish lots of tannic tidal rivers here in SC. I will give this a try this year.

one the goldie swim jig, do you use a plastic trailer

Awesome bluegill color! I'm trying to find that purple/black color. Do you know the brand and the specific color name?

Good info, Thanks

Great video, thank you very much

Loved the advice bro

If you could pick one weight for the Dirty Jigs standard Swim jig what would you choose?

Thanks Matt I’ll try it!

whats that purple called/who makes it?

Thanks for sharing

Well Matt, I enjoy your vids and they are very helpful. Thanks for the information. I have gone on the reel shot site on three occasions and everything I've looked for has been out of stock. I wanted to help support in some small way but nothing I wanted was available. I enjoy the videos and will keep watching. Thank you.

Thx a bunch 👍

Thanks Matt

I've been building my own skirts for quite a while trying to mimic the local forage some work better than others but is rewarding to catch um on baits I build I enjoy your vids keep them coming Thanks

I bought a pair of those scissors. No F-holes, quicker, no-look, locks closed w thumb slide. Same with these: Crescent Wiss 8-1/2" EZ Utility Snip/2" EZ Utility Snip pun intended
