Would love some opinions on a really new jig

I have posted these on other boards and not hear just because so many are already posting pictures here, but decided there are some here I would love to hear their thoughts on these. This is not all my colors and a couple have chenille body too just to show the two different ways I am tying them. Heck it took me a month or more to figure out what I wanted to do with this stuff.

With out more jibber jabber here they are, my "Wild Jigs".

Oh and I have warmed up to these as time passed looking and thinking about them.

Not craft fur or Iceabou. Looks better in person than in pictures. Great looking flash and colors.

Like em Skip.Does your body material taper down over hook when in water. My favorite is the silver head/chart. body/blue feather.

It does taper down moving in the water, but is moves very well in the water and puffs out if stopped. Nice action I think.

Oh and when you pull it out of the water it really hugs the jig and then back it is opens up some. Moves nice.

I like the 2nd and 3rd jig in the first picture, and in the second the last jig on the left, it reminds me of a small crayfish that's just shed it's shell and it's sort of transparent.

No, but I have a bunch of that too. Did sell some jig tied with it and I did catch some fish on that stuff, but not a big winner for me. It is stiffer than this is and you don't need a heat gun for this, LOL! It is really pretty stuff, but not my favorite tying material. I just took my lumps with the money I spent on it. I may have broke even before I just stopped using it.

Below is a jig I tied using that Nuclear stuff.

Skip, I have never seen anything that you tied that didn't look good and these are no different. How well do they work as compared to some of the others you've tied? You know , the good ole standbys.

I have had good reports from what little I have out on these as they are brand new. I have not even had time for one tiny fishing trip, but as soo as I get get out for a little bit I will come back and tell all.

I will be the first to admit I was not sure I like the first ones I did with chenille under the stuff, but when I tied it without the chenille and tried it in a fish bolw of water I was getting sold. Took it out of the water and it hugs all the way down and back into the water and it fluffs out and moves nice. I can't imagine that these with how great they look, color and movement wise and shine, that they would be very good.

However the proof is in the puddin' so to speak and I will need to get back on that. My main two guys I am sending a few to try and my self have not put them in the lake yet. I have a load of jig to tie right at this moment and need to get these out before I take the time to tie the two guys what I need to it will be a few days. I will probably break in on some of these to get a few done, but I just have to get farther along. First things first for sure.

It took about a month or two for me to tie the first one after I bought the materials and that was to figure out what to try making. Just took a stab and liked it so now showing it. I need to get with one guy that bought some on another site to see what he has learned and I will do that now.

Thanks,
Skip
