A little outside of my depth as I don't fancy myself a walleye fisherman, but here's my take on a classic walleye color pattern using bucktail and the Ultra Minnow mold.

I just started tying myself to add to my plastics....bucktails....hair jigs.....and some hollow fleye tying......cool video man

@SDGCustomLurecraft Год назад

Nice - all kinds of goodies to play with! Thx for the feedback!

@daveschmidtlein8933 Год назад

Yes, the eyes say yum yum! The peacock herl def finished it off very well, Nice job. FTR, I might mention - - I realize Sally Hansen is to finger nail polish that Band Aid to bandages. But, Sally’s HAN is typically prox $3.5 for .47 oz. whereas Dollar Tree’s Diamond Dry .44 oz or LA Colors Rapid Dry Topcoat .47 oz are both only $1.25. I’ve tested both latter brands seeing no difference in quality.

Thx! Appreciate the info as well! 👍👍

@ryanhooksem1595 2 года назад

only fish walleye. just started to tie my own bucktails definitely putting this one in my arsenal..

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Awesome to hear! Hope it catches you a boat-full!

@bigdoggstatus99 Год назад

Oh yeah it'll catch. A little bright orange on the head belly would only help. They see green and orange best and they love that purple. We catch plenty in Spring on Erie with purple hair jigs with big black/white eyes. Jigs with no eyes get hit less.

@SDGCustomLurecraft Год назад

Love it! I know so little about walleye, I’ll keep the orange in mind! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

@ScottinEC 2 года назад

That’ll work for sure!! I tie the same head also use the flathead jig mold too. It isn’t too big either. I’ll be throwing 3/4 and 1 ounce flathead jigs for walleye here on the Mississippi this week. One thing you will want though is a treble hook stinger off the back. A size 10 or 12 is what I use. A lot of time they will swipe or short strike the jigs, and the stinger will up your catch rate tremendously. I always just let the current, wind and depth dictate what size jig I need. Also don’t be shy with hook size either. 12 inch walleye will engulf a 3/4 ounce with a 4/0 hook all the time.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Thanks Lazur! Good call on the stinger for sure. Appreciate the feedback man!

@robertfrance6843 2 года назад

Yeah, that'll work for sure Adam. My past experience walleye fishing has taught me they do like those really bright colors, another great build !!

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Thanks Robert! I sure hope you’re right!

@robs9349 2 года назад

Great tie and vid....loved listening to you think it through. That was a terrific addition. Maybe we should see more from The Tying Lab. ;) oh, and those lateral feathers.....a definite NO. 👍

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Perhaps a live stream from the lab sometime - you guys can help me develop it as we go, that sounds like a blast! Thanks Rob! Glad you agree about the lateral feathers too 👊👊.

@alexrawleigh3167 2 года назад

Adam that jig is awesome. I will say speaking from experience that those feathers make the jig they will not last long due to the teeth on a walleye or sauger. I have tied many walleye/sauger jigs and when you factor in the cost of those feathers to me it isn't worth it. After testing my jigs in a tank and actual field testing them, buck tail is hard to beat. Also, faux buck tail is really good because it is tough as nails and will hold up to short strikes and those teeth! Other then that, that jig is a master piece. Well done.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Thanks man!

@brandondirocco9816 6 месяцев назад

I quit tying feathers on my saltwater bucktails, they're great for stripers, they hold up fairly well but you get one bluefish and it's over

@UncleKrusty68 2 года назад

Typical walleye jigs size depends on water depth and current. Rarely do I go above 3/8oz, some deeper waters might go up to a 1/2oz out of necessity. Standard is 1/8oz in spring to keep a slow moving bait, then moving on to 3/16 or 1/4oz. I almost strictly fish Walleye and Sauger in my area of Wi.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Nice, thanks Patrick!

@Bamdoggs 2 года назад

Walleye or not, that is outstanding!!! 👏🏻 Not a walleye expert but I’ve definitely caught em and I’d for sure try that in the northern lakes for the bigger Eyes… IF you could keep the Northerns off of it long enough! Down here, I see it as a striper magnet too! Like how u shared the decisions and turning points with us along the way… it seems often, the best ones are build-as-u-go, IMO anyway. Peacock was definitely a great addition! Love it in the tank!! 🥇

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Thanks man! Was a pleasure walking through the decisions on camera. It’s cool when rough sketches develop and the end result turn out nice. Very satisfying! Those same tailwaters are also home to hybrids/wipers… wouldn’t hurt my feelings if one of them took a shot, in the event the walleyes pass. LOL!

@parrothead5977 7 месяцев назад

I really enjoy how particular you are with your work. It shows in the finished result 🔥🔥🔥

Great jig, love the purple and chartreuse color combination!! Nice profile!! That dog will hunt!! Thanks for sharing Adam!!

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Thanks James! Glad you liked it man!

@richshackelford5793 2 года назад

I’am so glad you no on the two feathers on the side. Color pattern is awesome. Nice tie Adam and yes that will catch fish

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Thanks Rich! I figured I’d have some “Amens” out there when I passed on the flank feathers. Glad you liked it!

@gregyazel170 2 года назад

I like it. It’s not too big for walleye. I tie 3/4, and 1 oz., big bulky walleye jigs for Lake Erie. I think the stripers would eat it also! 👍👍

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Sweet! Those same tailwaters have wipers as well - be nice to find one of them! Thx man!

@rjvjr01 2 года назад

@jackmasters9953 Год назад

That would definitely crack some walleye in the Detroit river. I tie a similar pattern but not as fancy because it’s very common to snag and break the jig off. Hair, flash and a stinger tied in is plenty. Thanks for sharing 😃🎣🐟

@SDGCustomLurecraft Год назад

My pleasure Jack!

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Sweet, great to hear Richard! Appreciate the feedback my friend!

@basscatlildave 2 года назад

No walleye in my neck of the woods either but you made an excellent jig. I mostly Bass fish but I could see a Red Fish smack that down here. You make wrapping an art form.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

I appreciate that man, thanks!! I’ll take whatever bites!

@brianbochow 2 года назад

Gday Adam.. Bloody nice colour pattern would wreak havoc on a fish we have here in Australia named Barramundi...They are now stocking lakes in Florida with Barramundi.. Anyway that jig would definitely recommend action amonst those psychotic Barramundi...regards B.J.SCustom Baits Australia.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Oooosh… barramundi… man, I would LOVE to catch one of those someday. Glad you liked build, and thanks for the kind words man!

@smalljaw 2 года назад

I only tie 1 style of walleye jig but it isn't like this. What you did was awesome!!!!! I love the hackle tail but thoes bugger packs aren't cheap, well done as always!!!!

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Yup, this was… we’ll say… unconventional :). For some reason I thought those Bugger packs were like $10 each but looking back that wasn’t the case… more like $25. Super awesome feathers though! I think my two packages were Christmas presents so I didn’t feel it quite so bad, LOL! Thanks, as always, Dan! And great job on JigSquad the other night, it was a pleasure watching the show!

Hey Adam, if you ever find your way out in Colorado let me know. I’ll give you some spots for walleye.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Deal!

@jpmorso3798 Год назад

That's neat I Wana try this but don't know where to start

@SDGCustomLurecraft Год назад

A vise, jig head, some thread, and your material of choice! After that you're just adding to the arsenal!

@haginbird9152 2 года назад

Don't know bout walleye but. Think it will work on spotted bass in Alabama. Don't think we have any walleye here or at least not that I know of. Have a great day

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Spotted bass could be ok too, LOL! Thanks man, appreciate you watching!

@AlIsUpOutdoors 2 года назад

Now that I’ve seen the entire video and the test tank part, I’m positive that will catch a pike in a couple reservoirs near me.

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

Yup, I could see that too! Definite pike bait!

@dennisgrocholski4190 Год назад

Curious as to your thinking regarding the paint pattern on the jig head. Fish generally are counter-shaded - being darker on their backs than their bellies. Yet the head in the video is contrary to this. Reason(s) for your choice?

@SDGCustomLurecraft Год назад

A good observation, thanks! Honestly, no other reason besides the fact I wanted a predominantly chartreuse head and purple on the top may have run the risk of covering too much. To your point, this one could have been accomplished without the purple, or with the purple on top. Thanks for watching!

@lucioribeiro6110 2 года назад

@Hawaiibohntr Год назад

Just a thought, I finsh off the tying off thread in red, so it looks wounded when bouncing. Just me.

@SDGCustomLurecraft Год назад

I dig that too, for sure! Didn’t do it here, but I love it on a lot of patterns! 👍👍

@garybowers9605 2 года назад

@mikenolan6562 2 года назад

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 года назад

A mythical creature to be sure… said to have sharp teeth and delicious meat!

@jasondiddle4226 25 дней назад

What is your favorite jig head mold for tying a casting Buck tail jig?

@SDGCustomLurecraft 25 дней назад

Hard to beat this one, the Ultra Minnow Head. I was always a sucker for round heads as well, so the Freestyle is another great choice. For smaller stuff, like 1/8-1/16 the Walleye Head is cool too!
