"Tis my Bumble B. I bumbled around and made it. Not near perfect, but I gave it a try. I made the body by using black and yellow chenille wrapped in parallel. Couldn't figure out how to finish off the head just rite, but Ima learning.
Takes me a long time to tie one jig. Nothing comes easy anymore.
Picture not good either.
Looks good

I was encouraged by members here, especially Skeetbum. Besides, I need something to do sometimes. Too much crap on TV.Quote:

I'd say that's great for a first tie, much better than mine. Watch out now, you might get hooked and forget about fishing.

I would fish with it, as PPG said way better than my first time
Congratulations! Do not worry about tying pretty flys and jigs. I never met a fish that said they would not eat it because it was not pretty!!!
Very Nice Now put on some Samantha Fish and get after itQuote:

That'll work Tom. There's a couple of other ways to add two colors in the chenille. I use a smaller chenille and tie both colors in and then twist them together, tight enough to get the desired effect. Then wrap both as you would use a single piece of chenille. Another is to tie a short piece of chenille in first on what will be the bottom, then what you want for the body. Wrap and finish the body and tie it off some and trim the end off, them take the small piece and pull it straight up the bottom towards the head and tie it off, trim and finish. Also, head cement is expensive, and most of us use Sally Hansons Hard as Nails thinned 50/50, I use acetone from the nail polish section as a thinner. There's a needle tip bottle I use to apply it, has a needle that goes in the hole to keep it from drying up and being disagreeable. All cheap stuff and works good for me. You have my number if I can ever help.
Nice job
This is the applicator bottle I was talking about.
