Off to Walmarts for a mit. Thanks for sharing. Colored Sharpies will put some dots on these real good.

Also according to the article, you can spray these with scotch guard (before tying in) to make them float. On flies these then become floaters and on jigs the body will lift up (more motion)

Here are some I have tied up in different colors. Graig Riendeau came up with the pattern and he did a great job with these, they work very well. Has very good movement.

Slide a #12 swivel on the hook shank and pinch the eye of the swivel closed with a pair of pliers add a drop of super glue to the pinched eye and figure eight this with #4 mono line.

I remember those Skip. They're tough as nails and easy to tie. The one I thought it was had a twisted chenille body/tail that was about twice as long as the hook. The fuzzy's look good to me.
