I'm thinkin you might have a bit too much "body/tail" on that 1/32oz head. Were I using that jig, I'd probably trim it back about 1/3 to 1/2 .... but then you'd have to realize that I'm one of those guys that trims the length of marabou Roadrunners, by cutting the marabou halfway between the hook bend & the tip of the tail feathers (as it comes out of the package). Rofl
It is "purty", though ... and looks like it would do the job Thumbs Up

Looks good, but I don't see any flashbou. Krystal flash yes. Flashbou is flat and similar to Xmas tinsel.

I've got a package of the flash yellow jacket used. Spirit River (manufacturer) calls it Crystal Splash. This photo shows the chartreuse version:Originally Posted by PA_Slabs
Nice tie. I've never used all white, but it looks good.

Yes looks just like Hareline's Krystal Flash. Have to agree with crappiepappy on the part about a bit much and a bit long. I have tied lots long like that and they work just fine, but you may should cut down on the amount. I am unlike crappiepappy on the length though as I like of like longer tails. However I will tie what ever someone wants, but for my own I have cut down on the amount of marabou and probably have tried cutting down the length some, but no where near what he does. I still like mine at least an inch passed the hook, but not a whole lot more than that.
Most flies for sure use a more sparse tail of marabou than a jig, like my crappie candy I do my best to not over do it.
Overall though good job as they look good!
