Thread: Tie opinions

I can't say anything about the ties that hasn't already been said, good work. What I do notice is that most of your heads have the eyes painted shut. Cleaning with a heated bodkin is the easiest way at this point. To not paint them in the first place I use a small pair of spring loaded needle nose pliers. Hold the bend of the hook and hold it over the heat gun til it's right, then grab the eye and dunk into the paint or fluid bed, and return to the heat to glaze it and set it aside to cool. Since I began this I haven't clean one eye yet.

all in all nice looking jigs

I am not sure who's jigs you mean with the chenille type? There are several different kinds shown here and I have used the, all at some point. The mylar is the stuff that is spikey looking, then there is regular chenille with is either Rayon or Nylon and some of it has Crystal in it. Not sure about a couple, but either regular stuff or maybe even some Crystal Antron which is very nice with little pieces of flash in it. So what picture are you talking about? On my picture the mylar type is Danville large Crystal which comes from them in skeins,bit some sell 3 or 5 yard packs. I have sold some before in bags, but don't know what you askng about!

The one teamAsgro had. It looked like a big bag of ice chenille. The stuff I get usually just comes on a small card. Would like to get a bag with a larger quantity

Oh okay I see the bag now, just was not looking at that. It's Crystal chenille made by Danville and looks like he got that one from Crazy Angler, he has a lot of supplies at a good price. I have a lot of that stuff, been using it for quite a few years now. PM me if you would like more info about it.

Crazy Angler or Barlows.....you cannot go wrong

Crystal chenille from Crazy Angler Tackle Crazy Angler real good to deal with. Some put it on cards some bags. Most will tell you how many feet you're getting.
