This is a 3/32 head that I wanted to try using a Guinea collar, but think I picked one a little larger than I wanted, mistake I can correct next time, lol!

These are the colors I am catching with. Not this fancy though.
The only time I got in to any so far this year also was caught on same color, but not like this one. This is something I just wanted to try and I still have a mother kind of feather I want to try as a collar, the Silver Pheasant body hackle which are kind of hard to get now I think hard to find in quantity for the wholesalers. I bought some years ago and never have tied even one yet, lol! I have a lot of things like that and still want to try them. I also really want to get back into tying Rope Dub method jigs. My friend that came up with that is having a hard time as he had a big stroke last year, but I have is DVD on doing it and I just need to practice it some more.

Very nice Skip. Things have been crazy at the house lately. I need to get back to tying some. Tonight might be the night.
That jig will sink Slow ... nice colors ... Did you ever think about making the tail out of Guinea ???

Yes I use to do a lot of that with all kinds of wide Hackle of all kinds, even Chucker Flank Hackle. It';s been a good while since I used these much, just busy doing other things I guess. I have a pound of this Chartreuse Guiana and I may as well use it for something other than sitting in a drawer, lol!
I also have some Silver Pheasant that I want to use like this.

Looks great to me Skip!!! Longer hackle works a lot
Nice stuff Skip. I wondered how that would turn out if I tried that so you kinda answered a question for me without me even asking. Good job! Like the colors in the collar.
Deepfry nailed it - that long collar will be just fine for you! I fish a ton of Soft Hackles for trout and like the longer collar. It will act as a "veil" around the chenille and tail and add a lot of movement even when dead sticked. If you dont like it send it to me ;) A really nice jig for sure>
Thank you, I do appreciate it!Quote:
