    Default Different jig materials


    I picked this up today at Hobby Lobby. It's a 65%polyester /35%metallic blend and it's 111 yards worth for $6. I've had it soaking in water for a few hours now and started pulling on it without it coming apart. They had 6 or 7 other colors but wanted to test it first. I'll post a pic of the first jig I tie with it. Has anyone else used this stuff and if so how did it work?

    I tried something close to that, but it didn't really go over well with other guys and still have a lot of the material just sitting there!

    Will be interesting to see how it does for you.

    Also know as eyelash yarn - if you stroke the fibers back as you tie it in it can be a nice material for your jigs.

    Thanks for the tip...I was fighting trying to get it looking a little less chaotic.

    That's what it's on is 1/8 head and in the water the stuff fluttered pretty good. Of course under 5 ft here at Truman Lake they'll never see the flash...
