I have been trying to make up some 1/4 oz jigs with a full or fat looking body. To accomplish this I have been taking two pieces of chenille and twisting them together. I worried that fish might unravel them but I put 50 in the boat this weekend and none came apart.
Is this a common practice that I had just never heard of or did I just get creative ?
I do a lot of mine like that, yours look good!
I like the look of them. The thicker full body visually helps the look. Very nice!
This Jig tying is addictive. I have 3 Plano boxes full of jigs, all colors and I fish with a gray and black 90% of the time. I just can't quit making them :-)
Looking good, looks like your having a good time!

Sweet jigs!
I have been tying 1/8th oz jigs lately, I have really been liking the Cactus Chenille for the larger profile of the bait.
I'm thinking about retrying some of my older jigs when I was younger and more foolish,,,,time get serious here..lol,,,, I called my marti gras girls...
There is a method of braiding chenille that makes a flat wide body I recall trying many years back. Gives a bigger body without crowding the gap of the hook too much.
It keeps crossing my mind as I tinker with tying a few jigs here and there, but I cant remember the exact method. Google will find it I'm sure.
