That looks like squirrel tail jigs.

What size are those?

 

[Cottontop]

Richard they are 1/16oz that you can see. 1/32 on the back side of the cup. I still owe you some I said I would make a few years ago. What do you want and I will get on them.

Were the squirrels good eating too? emoEnforce emoBigsmile

@Maddog. I don't know. The old man wanting the jigs gave me the tails. Had them in the freezer for a while.

You don't owe me anything... but I wouldn't mind trying out a few. Normally I would fish a 1/32nd oz. for bluegill.

Here are a few more I did today.

emoApplause Great looking lures, I call the those 'wooly buggers' with the body wrap emoToast ...nice. Are you painting or powdering the heads? I make a lot of 1/24's powder coated with Artic Fox tails dyed in florescent colors and fish them with a weighted float...the maddog emoFish emoAngler

 

[Cottontop]

I don't have a 1/24th mold. I have a 1/32 and one smaller that I am not sure of the exact weight. It was homemade by my late uncle. It is over 50 years old, I have several that he and my dad made. I use [powder paint and I like to tie artic fox as well.

When does the Bluegill and Shell Cracker fishing turn on?
