Starting to like that stuff huh? I have loved it ever since I got my first batch. Jigs look good to me and I use this same stuff on a 1/32 Oz Roadrunner.
All I've tried so far are 1/8oz but I'll be checking out a few 1/16oz tonight.
You will know more when you fish them and see how they look then. Only the Pearl is stiff so the others bend back a little making them not quite as full as when first tired. Actually then the color will even show more because you see it bent back a little and your then seeing the materials side more than the ends.
Good job ! I need some of those heads like on the green one , do you pour them ?
Good lookin material and ties in both posts! The last blue n white'n is a staple on the Pearl River where I live. I'd say 80% use either it or black n green chrt tubes. Great work
Look sweet! What is that stuff and where do u get it?

Lookin' good Vernon. You build some mighty good lookin' jigs for sure.
Thanks everyone for the kind remarks. Hey Bobo, that bottom jig is actually a candy purple head, purple chenille & purple & white hackle. Oh, & purple thread too. LOL.
He got the chenille from me guys. I am about to get more of some really beautiful stuff. He didn't get enough to tie a jig from of any of the ones I am about to get though as I only had samples of it myself.Quote:

I saw a post about that "tool" here some time ago but never got a look at it. Does anyone have a picture of one?Quote:

i have a home made tool like that I use on dubbing and I made it from a large match stick and Velcro wrapped around one end. Of course it's glued on the wood stick. Never tried it for this chenille because the bodkin is so easy to use.Quote:
