I have started tying my own jigs and have had pretty good luck using them on the 3 trips since I started. I have watched a lot of YouTube on fly tying and have tried to use techniques that I see as useful for my jigs. I have gotten almost completely away from chenille and use fly dubbing instead. The colors and length variations give me a lot more options for less money.

How many of my fellow tiers use hackles to dress the jig? I have a few that I have used it on, but so far the jigs without are working so well not sure it's worth the effort. Several of the the jigs that are working right now, I used a long dubbing material that has multiple colors and legs added to it. This gives the hackle effect in one step.
Thanks for any replys!
