I loved the way they moved easy in the water. I'm looking for material to tie my own . It was micro denier nylon. Also thinking of silk floss.
Ideas??? Thanks rob

Very fine bristles out of a paintbrush possibly?
No idea, never saw one.
However I am watching hoping to get a new idea!

Material is large Palmer Chenille.
The pink one has a small pinch of bucktail in the middle and wrapped with the palmer chenille from the hook point forward. It is very full
The green one is just palmer chenille wrapped from about the mid point forward.
The material is very fine a wispy
Looks good. Now that I have found a fly tying shop locally, I can actually see these materials in hand instead of just in pics. Th person in the shop also fishes for crappies and was very informative on places around here I didn't know about, as well as what was working right then. Thank you for sharing your Palmer chenille jigs. They look great...
They need some tuning. Tied them quickly to show the material
Look good

Nice ties Jack. I’ll bet the chartreuse is a hot ticket.
I ran across this material after this thread started. I picked up the two colors and tied a few. That being said I have not fished them. The Chartreuse should work fine. The pink one is way to full. To the point of interfering with the hook . I need to order some of the material in a light to medium gray. I believe a gray ghost pattern out of this would be hard to beat.
