Tryin my hand at BIG chenille!

[Pepop]

I just got a few samples of chenille that's much larger than I'm used to. Comments and suggestions welcome.

I like them myself. I think the fish will like them also. Great job.

All 3 look good to me. Really like that first one.

Looks good Pepop, nothing wrong with those.

They all look good Pepop, but that last one Chart/Blue/Chart will be a killer, you just wait and see. Stained water is it's home, but should work is water that is a bit clear too. Clear for me is if I can see my jig down 3'.

They all look good to me as well.
I like the fuller looking body of the middle one, but they all look like a hybrid between the regular chenille jig and an ant jig with all the hairs sticking up.
The more I see the blue/chartreuse jig the more I like it.

Pepop If you get over to Caddo the middle one will be killer. For some reason the copper and red combo is a good one here.

For some reason when I tie flies I think specifically using under a float so I never tie anything bigger than 1/32 oz and then I will cast plastics... I'm so odd I know... Those look good tho I just don't know why I look at it like that I guess more confidence casting plastics?

Before I started tying I fished Slab Bandits exclusively though I had several boxes of hand tied jigs from friends that tie their own, but I rarely ever tied one on. Since tying my own, and having caught fish with several of my creations, my confidence is increasing. I still fish plastic from time to time but I won't finish a trip now without dunking one of my tied jigs.

Confidence is always a big thing with what works for each of us! WHat ever you believe in, will be as you think it is.
