The two in the middle are the smallest I've tied I think, ever. Not sure how fast they will sink but something should like them.
Again, guessing weights, middle two maybe 1/64 on a size 8 or 10 sickle
The other 4, 1/32 or close and a #6 sickle maybe? I can't find the size chart I made so I am sorry about the crazy estimates. If you can tell me what they might be I can try to remake my charts.

Can't tell you what sizes they are but I'm pretty sure they will draw the thump to your line. Good job.
Cool,
All I will say is I would not cut the natural ends off any of my hackle or marabou!

Perfect size in my humble opinion, I absolutely slammed the crappie using a pink and black,and chartreuse and white combo in that style,nice job.
Could tie the hackle in even on that tiny thing! lol.
Sorry, marabou is hard for me to tie that small, if I had green hackle I'd be set.
If you are tying a normal size jig use the Blood Quills or the Select Quills, but for small jigs that Mini stuff is perfect and should make it easy for you to tie small! Just to show you I will post my one feather jig again, this is a 1/32 Oz Roadrunner which is a pretty small jig, but could do the same thing with smaller regular jigs.Quote:

Oh crap, I didn't think about wrapping it.... The would make this a lot easier for me on such a small size jig. Awesome Skip, thank you!
