I have got some off of ebay, and I paint some yesterday and tied a few jigs w/ them. But I was wondering do anyone of ya'll that tie some that small do you chenille to wrap as the body or do you just use the thread, bucktail or marabou for the tail? I've also been usin sally's hard as nails, but was thing bout tryin something else that kinda of make it like a epoxy/lacquer finish on the thread...thoughts?
Thanks,
AC
I tie a bunch of both and I use whatever comes to mind. I try not to use chenille that is bigger than a size 2 on them though, usually a size 0 and even dubbing.
Just use your imagination. I do some chinelle jigs . Most all of mine are gawdy patterns because that works for me for bluegill.
The ones I done in the pictures are 1/80 on #8 .
Short red tail has been good to me in the past. These are strands from the lower side of a red feather.
Red Zonker (rabbit) is better if you have it.
I also have some similar patterns with hackle if you wish to see them. Illinoisgiller
Note--Led Hed has some VERY nicely done patterns.
what kinda box u got those in illinois giller is that a cliffs bugger barn? looks very nice and neat
Giller- nice jigs! I like red tails for bluegills too
Cabelas Double Nubby Tack box . they come in 3 sizes with this being the med. They are great for storage or show off but an Altoids can is a good one to carry. lol Illinoisgiller
Love your jigs Giller! I hear the red tails are great for bluegill as a black gnat is suppose to be a #1 gill fly.
Illioisgiller great bunch of jigs definitely like that red tail we are going to order some of those boxes that you display your jigs on.

Nice work Gill. Way to organized for my twisted mind.
I use chenille for a body on 1/100 and 1/80 although not very much!
Basically use any material I would use on bigger jigs just not as much.
Make some cool lookin spiders on them as well.
nice way to organize
