I will get some new pictures with a ruler next to the hooks. I believe the split shots are #3, but have no idea on weight, was just guessing compared to jigs I know the weight on.Quote:

Pup, thanks for the info, will have to try just doubling the chenille and see if that works, if not, will try the foam or even some balsal wood.
OKState,
My jigs were designed for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. Didn't really consider them for crappie. Each was tied on a 1/4-ounce head with a size 1/0 hook. I jumped into this thread because of AF's mention of chenille and smallmouth bass. I do appreciate your compliment and suggestion though. :cool:
AF, you tied a very nice looking bass fly. :cool:
You guys are tying some phat jigs.........
Here ya go!Quote:

The grid is 1" squares. Hooks are plain aberdeen, the ones with 2 weights are #1 and the single weight is #2. The bag of split shot was marked 3/0. 2 of them don't ever come out the same, I just squeeze em till they look close enough then smooth them up a little. Hope this helps, interested to see what you are doing F4A.
That helps a lot, gives me something to go on for the size of my body parts I am gonna try to make. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Haven't decided if I will make them tapered right away or just make "tubes" that can be shaped later on. One is obviously easier but with the material I am gonna work with it is easier to do it before they are finished. Will just have to see how long it takes when I get some started.
