Another pic,,grey squirrel tail jig,,,
Those should work good. Really good job you did on them.
I like them.
I use a fair amount of squirrel tail hai on bream flies but those ties look like some fish catching jigs. May need to tie up a few.
Those should work. They look good.
Looks sharp
Good lookin ties, grea t ties!
Thanks y’all,,,,I love the natural colors of them,,,works great with anything black especially,,,,
I use squirrel tail a lot in my trout flies. Great action, natural colors and durable. Those look great.
Who as it Rooster Tail or Mepps that used to run the adds in the back of outdoor magazines offering to buy squirrel tails to produce their spinners
Those look like they will do the trick.

Those are going to work fine for you. Something you can try while you’re at the vise is downsizing them for shellcracker and bluegill. I use just a little hair and trim it so the whole thing is maybe an inch and a quarter or half. Olive micro chenille and yellow and black get lots of play time for me.

Something like these. Both red and gray squirrel in there and they’re on a #8 hook. And yes, the crappie like em too. Especially the yellows.
Dem are purdy,,,skeet
Love a good hair jig.
One other thing I found, longer isn’t always better. Notice that some of mine short, the bluegill here like em better for some reason.
Can't grab the tail without getting the hookQuote:
