Tried some 1/64 Gill jigs last night

Sorry for the crappy pic, was in a hurry and used my cell instead of the reg. camera. 2 are black and silver, one with a white tail and one with a char. tail. The other is red wine with a white tail.

Got it from Barlow. Actually it was by accident, keyed the wrong number in the order but I like the color. Should be great for drum and gar atleast.:D

I actually had an easier time whit those than I have with crappie jigs. I think it has something to do with the collars. All of my crappie jigs are collared, those beetle heads werent.

Worked on crappie again last night and feel like I have a much better grasp on the tails now. Starting get better feel for length and volume of feather. Turned out a half dozen that I really like. They still suck by ya'll standards but I could see a lot of improvement.

Gonna try to get another dozen or so done before the weekend so we can fish 'em instead of tubes.

Those jigs are looking good. I have found that even better for these simple sparkle chinelle jigs is adding a short RED tail . Makes little difference if it is rabbit, short marabou, or in a pinch, a stub of common yarn.
The picture shows some simple red butt jigs on 1/80 oz. using red rabbit. I'm not very good at getting rabbit even but doesn't seem to matter.

gillchaser99, These patterns are tied for bluegill. You are right they are easy to tie and deadly.
