Chenille question

What is the difference in size 3 & 5?

Is it the amount on a card or size of chenille?

Thanks

Size of the chenille... The larger the # the larger the chenille... Hope this helps

Thanks, which would you prefer to tie small crappie jigs?

it all depends on the look you are trying to get. the size 5 is going to make a bigger fluffier body, I have always used size 3 on 1/32, 1/24, and 1/16. remember that when you wrap any chenille over the tail material such as marabou etc, it makes the body even fatter. I'd say try both, I never have used size 5 but skip as well as others here have been really using alot of the bigger fluffier chenilles so it's gotta be catching fish, heck they have been using all the way up to size 10.

I like the 3 personally but I have some even smaller for tiny 1/100 oz jigs but normally 3 for me

Yeah size 3 for me. the cactus chenille will always look bigger.

I have several from micro to large, I don't know about the numbers. I find them all useful for different looks. Most of mine from 1/16 and up get large, I don't like double wrapping to add bulk for the bigger jigs. I would try a little of each and see what appeals to you.

Thanks for the replies...
