I think it looks great.. Let's see one tied on a jig head.
Thats a sweet fly! Im not sure about for a jig but you should try it!
Think I will try it tomorrow using one of your killer jig heads Ron.Quote:

That is a cool way to use chenille. Kind of reminds me of the way you tie an green weenie with marabou added but I like them too :D. I do think it will effect the drop rate but it may end up being a good trolling jig?
Cool fly! Simple.... I might have to try it.
The one thing that I'm wondering is how durable it is.
If you tie a trailer hook onto a jig; would give you a bigger shad imitation (for fall) and allow you to keep a smaller jig weight like 1/16.
What about a one size hook bigger with extra long shank, the extra look length would give you the space so you don't crowd everything on the hook. it should also help with the fall rate
Added a jig head to this fly pattern.
