Scuds and jigs

[SteveGibson]

Getting ready to test them on bluegill and other panfish. Jigs are tied on 1/124-ounce heads.
Scuds are weighted with .17 lead wire.

Very nice! What do you use for the scud shell? Is that Thin Skin?

Lookin good! Why so small on the jigs? I've got a bunch of 1/80-oz and they're small enough to easily cast with a 5-wt.

I usually fish with a 1 or 2 weight.

The stuff I use is called Scud Back by Wapsi. Probably the same or similar material.

Nice looking scuds! Where do you get .17 lead wire? seen .15 and .20, but not the .17, which would, I believe, work well for my #10 woolly buggers.

I'm not sure where I got it. I ordered it last spring from an online source. I can tell you that's it's "square" lead.

Sweet ties! They will well for bass also. Fun on the UL fly rods.
