    Default Striped Candy Mini Bites


    I ordered some size 8 hooks this past week and decided to try some patterns using them on 1/32 heads for a friend. I’m not satisfied with the stripes and am anxiously awaiting some smaller diameter chenille to arrive to see if it works better.

    As always, all constructive feedback is greatly appreciated!

    I love the look, but I can't tell if it blocks the hook. How do you tie in the feathers? V over a tip?

    Nice jigs, I like the stripes. Look on ebay for some micro chenille. Some of what I bought was flashy looking and other was just tiny and both work well on the tiny jigs. Happy hunting.

    Here is a small batch of the bite-sized candies made with smaller chenille. These are 1/24 oz #8 sickle hooks...
