Just thought I would offer some help to you folks. I have tied fishing flies for more than 40 years for a living and a lot of jig's got in on it to LOL. If you folks ever need any help just holler and I will do my best. You know materials and finishes and such.

Instead of fishhair you might give rabbit fur a try. You can buy it in strips in about any color you might need. Just cut it off and tie it in as you would the fishhair. I think you will find it has even more movement than the fishhair does in the water. Just look for longer fur on the strips. You can also buy a whole hide to. Just depends on how many you are going to tie. I would guess you can get about 4 to 5 dozen jig's out of a package of rabbit strips. Just trying to be of help. Ron
