    I had some trouble with the Ice and Cactus chenille's..Only thing I found that worked was using hackle pliers.Not a big fan of ice.

    I would suggest using tinsel chenille instead of ice chenille. Not as long fibers but easy to work with and reasonably priced at Barlows. Will have nearly the same look.

    when i wrap stuff like that, after every wrap i usually pull back the fibers and hold them back while i make the next wrap right in front of it.
    raising your voice, the next best thing to being right

    I do the same thing and is the only way I got it to look right. Both of them have their uses and for larger jigs the iced is killer and covers better with a fuller body. It really looks nice when you get it to work right.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    "Patience grass hopper" Wrap it nice,and tight"also if you can use some Lt. color under body "when you can"...
    I find carefuly slightly overlapping depending on the shade of color gets the look I'm after."Das a tricky one 4 sure".

    "WELL"...YOU ASKED"NOBODY TELLS ME NOTH'N!!!
