Underwater action footage and full tying instructions on a fabulous classic bucktail jig.
One of the cool things about being a blogger and RU-vidr is that I get some great feedback from my friends and followers. I hope to inspire some of you with my videos - but I also learn a lot from you guys.
One of my followers, Joe Duca, who has become a friend I share a lot of interests with (rock and blues music and all things outdoors… to mention a few), and very often Joe submit some inspiring feedback on my videos.
Today's video is on a cool bucktail jig, that Joe got from a friend (Dave) way back in the days - which probably means a lot of years ago ;0)
Anyway, this was a killer jig for walleye - so I thought it was worth showing you guys this cool jig. Living in Scandinavia, I don't have walleye around here, but I have used this jig to great succes for perch, trout... and pike. I named the jig JFS or Joe's Friend's Special.
Give it a try, and send a friendly thought to Joe and Dave, if it works out for you.
Also, if you are looking for a one-stop-resource for some of the best videos on RU-vid on fly tying, jig tying and a other equally important stuff, drop by Joe Duca's RU-vid channel: / @joeduca8582

I'm going to have to tie that, excellent!!!! I always enjoy your videos, extremely talented!!!!

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

Thanks a lot. Glad to hear you will give JFS a shot. Cheers, Michael :0)

@hankvana2149 4 года назад

Very nice! It's hard to beat bucktail as the ideal material for jigs - plastic baits can't even dream about coming close to the flowing, life-like movement that bucktail has. Thanks for sharing!

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback, Hank. I totally agree. Bucktail is a great material. Cheers Michael :0)

Great video quality. You really have a talent. I just started tying jigs here in Mississippi for white and black crappie. I believe I’ll tie this up on a 1/8 and give it a go.

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

Thanks a lot Chase. I think that would work for your crappies. Tight lines, Michael :0)

Wow! I don't know what to say... except Thank You :o) You tied that beautifully! I've never seen the action it has from that perspective, just from above, no wonder it works so well. Great contrast against light and dark backgrounds, I never realized the "chiaroscuro" effect it has. Thanks Michael, awesome choice of music too, very fitting for the state of the world right now... but you always make it brighter my friend. Cheers

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

And thank you my friend. You kicked this one off. Chiaroscuro effect? You continue to surprise me with your knowledge of strange and wonderful things... like visual art concepts... and music. Talking of the latter: yup I found this piece of dark mysterious swamp blues fitting for the current state of post apocalyptic(ish) reality. I don't know why, but dark blues and rock'n'roll always seems to cheer me up. Cheers, Michael :0)

@phillipimsdahl3563 4 года назад

We have lots of walleye here in Minnesota so I will post a picture with your jig when I catch one. Nice proportions if my jig does not have a collar, should I put in a tread bump to get that flair right?

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

Phillip, that would be awesome. If you send the pictures to my mail address (find it on angling.michaeljensens.com), I will make a blog with your catch on this jig. A thread bump won't hurt, when you want a little more profile. Alternatively you can tie the bucktail reverse. See how to do that in this video (around time code 4.57): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i7tqgoSsBtA.html Tight lines, Michael :0)

Könntest du mal eine Bucktail Jigfly in Kombination mit Nayat zeigen,es würde mich sehr interessieren, was es für Möglichkeiten gibt, aus diesen 2 Materialien für Jigfliegen zu binden. Ich Grüße dich Michael..und freue mich immer riesig wenn du etwas neues auf deinem Kanal vorstellst. Grüße Christian

@MichaelJensensAngling Год назад

Thanks Christian. I have never used nayat, but i guess it will work just fine in combination with bucktail. Cheers, Michael :)

@rouryglen 4 года назад

Very nice do you think these would work for saltwater bass in Ireland ? Another great video

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

Yes, I am confident they will. I haven't used this exact pattern for sea bass, but I have used a very similar bucktail jig for those fish along the Danish west coast. The pattern i used was this more saltwater baitfish imitating jig: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IDhhcX65PEQ.html Tight lines, Michael :0)

@cvgamg 4 года назад

Do you Gus think adding eyes to a jig makes a difference any help would be appreciated

@MichaelJensensAngling 4 года назад

Hi Vern, I feel it makes a difference on some jigs. But I also feel that the silvery appearance of a leadfree jighead like this - kind of act like a eye... or a point of focus at least. So, I honestly can't say for sure if eyes help - but I'm confident that they can't hurt. When I tie jigs to imitate specific baitfish, I often put eyes on these. On jigs that are more provocative colored, I seldom do. But... if in doubt: Put eyes on. That might boost your confidence in your lure, and that is important. Tight lines, Michael :0)
