    A man could do some serious dubbing with some of that. Good find.

    I've never seen anything done with any wool. Do you have any pictures?? My jigs are still VERY elementary.

    I'll post some up tonight when I get home. Learned about tying them on another site - they're wool with satin fibers tied over top and they do work.

    What kind of action do they have in the water?? Is it similar to marabou? Those are really sharp!! Thanks for sharing!

    I wouldn't say exactly like maribou but the satin fibers shimmer well. The first 8 colors of satin I bought only cost me about $4, and a little goes a long way.
