modified pigboat New Pattern Database Submission

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Cool fly looks a lot like Day5's spider grub with a wooley bugger body instead of a rabbit leech body. Should work just as effectively.

Good looking tie it should do very well. I tie a jointed fly that that can be fished weighted or unweighted and I've had great success for the last couple of years with them. The unweighted I dead drift in current and twitch the rod tip to create more action (works really well). The weighted you can fish just like a jig.

That'll go a long way toward weedlessness and let you fish the thick cover...very cool.

Great looking fly! Good color combination too! headbang.gif

The Pigboat is a big woolly worm with rubber legs. A big woolly worm tied in the same fashion as a hackle streamer, (Seaducer) but without the feather tail. Instead it had rubber legs in an attempt to mimic jigs or even spinnerbaits. Tom Nixon knew those lures worked for bass so he tied the Pigboat in similar style.

What you've tied is a big woolly bugger with lots of rubber legs & bar bell eyes (on a jig hook). Not anything new, but certainly a different angle using materials that attract bass. If you put that on a safety pin spinner it could likely work with a spinning rod too!

I've seen several flies tied this way, and each one will catch a ton of bass! Good work! smile.gif

Use a Zonker strip for the "pig" portion.

This is my attempt at the jig part of the jig and pig.

I think it looks great . I have one of Tom Nixon's pigboats he tied before he passed ,needless to say it will never hit the water. He would tell you to fish it so slow you can almost feel your hair growing.
Good tie , keep em comming.
