As stated before, yes they work very well, whether you use multiple strands, or a couple or even just one . Give them a try...

For guys who are wondering what gnats are exactly,,,,,,,here’s Donnie’s gnats on left with the rubber legs,,,mine are on thr right with just flash…they are basically just a crappie jig without the lead head …..very dangerous crappie weapon tipped with either a minnow or crappie bites.

Here are some that I tie too

I do it a lot.

Here is a new video Patrick (Fridays86 here on cdc) uploaded today using them.

Yes I use them all the time. The tighter you tie the legs the more they’ll flare out so be careful.

Okay I have not tied any jigs with just silicone tails in awhile. Your post and pictures have inspired me whip out the vice. Thanks for the push.
