I tied this one several years ago, but thought maybe some would like to see it for ideas?

Interesting pattern
I take it around a 1/32oz jig
Pink Marabou some blk/grn hackle
Simple tie but
"looks very deadly" :ThumbsUp
billygee :rolleyes:
Thank you and this is a 1/32 oz head

I like the palmered hackle body. Really nice jig
Sharp lookin' jig and durable too.
Nice looking jig.
How do you like the UV glue?
I have been using it for a year now and have had good luck with the glue.
Skip, for a minute there I thought you didn’t tie that one. No single strip of flash. That’s a good looking tie that I would use vertical or dead stick. It would compress every time you moved the rod tip. Thanks for showing to us.
Neat Skip.

Thank you guys!
RLS40 I like it a lot for some things and just love the quick set! I still just use mu home made stuff for chenille body though as it penetrates super fast and also dries fast. For anything like this jig though or I also love the Ants done using the UV Glue!
I should probably have add in the other one showing how this has some Lateral Scale Flash wrapped around the thread body before the Glue is used. And be seen through depending on how think you make the body. Here is one regular light and the other one under a Black light.

Still looks like you have got the idea down, just take a little practice to get what you want. Also mine under the Black light I used Chartreuse Hackle so it also glows under that light and the Pheasant tail feather barbules at FL Red so they Glow too! The head being FL Yellow also goes so the entire thing glows, but really you can make the tie out of anything you wish and don't have to glow.
Good job,
Skip
Skip is that Amherst for the tail ??Quote:

Ever since I started Tying flies more I have learned a lot I love to tie classic Hairwing style flies and Steele head flies .. I still tie Jigs more often now that I have moved to Wisconsin I can fish them now .. I really like the color of the tail you did a Great job on them !!Quote:

I also believe if one learns fly tying they become better tiers. That is why I love the lessons at FAOL so much and really where I learned most of my tying from based on them. They use the same materials and if you learn how they tie things you can do it on a jig! The videos and all were not around when I started so it was learn the hard way. Learning the language was also a big help and most guys that tie jigs miss that part. The whole thing is amazing if you expose yourself to it all, like spinning deer hair and so many other techniques and methods. I learned the hard way, but I also got an education!Quote:
