Tried some 1/64 Gill jigs last night

Sorry for the crappy pic, was in a hurry and used my cell instead of the reg. camera. 2 are black and silver, one with a white tail and one with a char. tail. The other is red wine with a white tail.

Got it from Barlow. Actually it was by accident, keyed the wrong number in the order but I like the color. Should be great for drum and gar atleast.:D

I actually had an easier time whit those than I have with crappie jigs. I think it has something to do with the collars. All of my crappie jigs are collared, those beetle heads werent.

Worked on crappie again last night and feel like I have a much better grasp on the tails now. Starting get better feel for length and volume of feather. Turned out a half dozen that I really like. They still suck by ya'll standards but I could see a lot of improvement.

Gonna try to get another dozen or so done before the weekend so we can fish 'em instead of tubes.

Those jigs are looking good. I have found that even better for these simple sparkle chinelle jigs is adding a short RED tail . Makes little difference if it is rabbit, short marabou, or in a pinch, a stub of common yarn.
The picture shows some simple red butt jigs on 1/80 oz. using red rabbit. I'm not very good at getting rabbit even but doesn't seem to matter.
