Oh yeah, you look ready. I'd maybe add some cap spiders. I've been tearin them up on those lately.

DC Thnx – the bodies are 3/0 flat thread with lots of clear fingernail polish (wet-n-wild brand).

TCF
Diffidently have to add the “cap”.

Thnx for the link – very informative. A real great loss to the fly tying world.

Guys for a great coating to use on thread neck jigs try using Dave's Flexament or make your own. If you want to make your own flex coating/glue just get your self a tube of GOOP and Toluene (Toluol) for a thinner. Now that thinner is some bad stuff, but it make Flexament a lot cheaper. If cost is not a big deal just buy some Dave's Flexament. It is a bit thick and works well on thread, but I don't use it on chenille jigs.

Also if you make your own I probably would put it in plastic bottles and would use glass.

LedHed,I like the black jigs with the touch of pink on top of jig head!! I know your silver or gray jigs would work on the lakes that I fish because they are mostly clear.
