Jigs with a twist

I have been trying to make up some 1/4 oz jigs with a full or fat looking body. To accomplish this I have been taking two pieces of chenille and twisting them together. I worried that fish might unravel them but I put 50 in the boat this weekend and none came apart.

Is this a common practice that I had just never heard of or did I just get creative ?

I do a lot of mine like that, yours look good!

I like the look of them. The thicker full body visually helps the look. Very nice!

This Jig tying is addictive. I have 3 Plano boxes full of jigs, all colors and I fish with a gray and black 90% of the time. I just can't quit making them :-)

Looking good, looks like your having a good time!

I resemble that.

I do the same thing. Enjoy the addiction.

Sweet jigs!

I have been tying 1/8th oz jigs lately, I have really been liking the Cactus Chenille for the larger profile of the bait.

I'm thinking about retrying some of my older jigs when I was younger and more foolish,,,,time get serious here..lol,,,, I called my marti gras girls...
