Another Material You all Might want to try

Fly Tying Materials | Fly Tying Recipes | Fly Tying Supplies | Fly Tyers Dungeon | Fly Tying Supplies

Just tried some stuff named Congo Hair. Was lookin for a translucent material and this stuff fit the bill. Will post some samples once I have worked with it a little more. Prices are really reasonable also. I also got some stuff called " crazy legs " which is real thin stranded rubber.

They also make some stuff called water silk which looks interesting but I have not ordered any of that yet.

While I'm at it since you all got me started tying. How in the Heck can I STOP?:D

You were warned that your fellow brethren on the boards here could not be held responsible for any addiction you picked up by starting tying jigs!!!!! We all haveour own troubles getting by our own wives anyway we don't need to take on yours too LOL:p:p:p:p

I know darn good an well I tell everyone that ask me that as far as I am concerned it's not cheap to tie. I know how much stuff it out there and the more you want to do the more you buy, LOL!

I always tell everyone that it's addicting and very much so.

I also know that I have made my self enough jigs that I will probably never get the time to try every style and color I have in my boat, LOL!

Ok here are few I tied up with the congo hair. Hope the fish like them as much as I do. Used chennile on the clouser types and minnow heads to give a body to the hook.

The underbody looks good. Can't tell from the pic, does the "Congo" have more sheen than natural hair?

Also, the original Clouser pattern has a flash strip down the middle: Clouser Minnow (The Original)
Do you prefer leaving this out ?

I have been using there material for a long time now, and I have mention them on a couple of my posts, They have good material for a good price, The Congo Hair is good but the Water mix is much better.
