Looks good skip. Thats some pretty neat chenille did you get that from Danville? Have you gotten to try it out yet? Looks like it will be a crappie slayer!
Been using it for about 2 1/2 years now. Yes Danville is where I get what ever they make, but some of my chenille comes form a few other sources on some they don't make. I have used this chenille on several jigs that are very good and some popular like one I named after a guide on my Pro Staff that was the first to try it. That one is Chart head and tail with this silver body. I love this same jig with a Blue tail once Toledo Bend clears some in spring, like in April.
I call that one DEADLY!:yikes Looks like a winner to me skip. Congrats.:)
I just placed an order for a bunch of chenilles in minnow like colors and hope to produce something similar to that for the picky crappie I target. For some reason they will not touch chartreuse at all. About all I can catch them on are either minnows or BGBS in the money milk color also the Arkie Clear w/ Silver Sparkle works. I'm thinking something similar to your jig would be deadly on them. Do you tip your jigs with crappie nibbles?
No Va, I got tired of them coming off so easy, but have several bottles of them. I for sure never do that in spring when trolling or casting. I will attempt them when tight lining sometimes unless I get upset with them coming off so easy. I did once come up with a jig that had a piece of clear tubing over the hook pushed up to the body and used one of the injector things to fill that will nibbles, but never used it much. I think though that I was on to something with that. I just usually just use a jig or in summer a jig on bottom and a minnow up maybe 18". Also do that at night in the summer and I use either a 1/8Oz or 1/4 Oz then.
Thanks guys!
Almost forgot I found some chenille that is a bit sparse, but is holographic silver and looks awesome. I tied up just one for a pic and really have not used it yet. Don't know why, but I tend to just have stuff that takes me forever even to fish it much less show it even on my site, LOL!Quote:

Hey Skip, those are totally awesome and will really fool the crappies. By the way, the road runners you did for me are working well with my soft plastic tails. Thanks again.
Thanks buddy!
Your welcome Ship, glad to hear they are doing well!
Nice one Skip
Thanks, good to see you around again. Have you been gone for a while?Quote:
