Where can this Chenille be bought?

So I want to try feathers again for a 1/32 & 1/64 jig for Bluegills..I'm trying to copy the pattern...it's what I'd call a Gray Ghost....
I bought and recieved today my feathers. See what y'all think.. it'll be on 1/32 black Sickle #6 hook or a 1/64 Red Sickle #8 hook. A peek at the Hareline feathers.. I had some micro Chenille, in gray with silver flash...I think it's what I bought from Skiptomylu when I first started tying.

I wonder if any variations work with the gray pattern...
Like a black Chenille body...I could add some silver Wing n' Flash in a dubbing effect.

Originator of this isTammie McGrann....I asked if I could copy it...

I like the colors on the feathers. I don’t see a pic of chenille if there was one attached. I would check with Skip on the chenille first. I would think any gray color or close would work for what you’re looking to do, as far as the original gray ghost jig it was just plain gray nylon chenille I believe. Anything to mimic a baitfish. Unfortunately chenille is getting hard to get if you need something specific.

That attachment didn't open...I just didn't notice or I would have corrected that... this was Tammi McGrann's creation.
It was so nice with the flashy chenille, I wanted to try it. I have some micro Chenille, a silver with short chrome flash that would work...Attachment 421050

And there is what I have that could work.

I buy most of my chenille at wood and waters outdoor. He has a lot with pictures and in stock. I also buy from Nimrods but he was out of stock on a lot due to supplier issues but slowly has stuff coming back in stock.

You pic looks like a crystal chenille or estaz. Check out Patrick’s crystal and custom chenille. eBay has a great selection if estaz.

Estaz? Looking that up. It could be the silver is a Crystal flash Chenille, I've had for 2 years, and I did buy my first Chenille from Skiptomylu...none was labeled as to type or color name.

As well as Skip I agree with DrNip on other locations to purchase chenille from. I have attached two crystal chenille's from Skip that could possibly be it.

On my monitor, every one not the same, it looks like a pearl crystal chenille. Of coarse Only one eye is functioning right...

Here is what I’ve been using for grey ghost and has been productive. Color of head can be whatever. Chenille I got at woods and water outdoors. I prefer bucktail over any tail material.

Love the way Doc combs the hair back on this,,,,looks like scales…

I totally feel the same about using bucktail over feather. When I started tying 2 years ago, I focused on using Maribou. Partly, it was cheaper than buying bucktail....but the other part of the equation was that I thought it was what everybody used to tie a jig. I spent a lot of time tying Maribou, and I never felt I was getting a handle on tying it for jigs. This past year, I had a little more money and began buying dyed and natural bucktail. Then, I saw better results.
But this little 32nd & 64th jig that I kinda had a "I gotta try this one" gray Ghost pattern. So I bought the better soft hackle feathers just for this one pattern.

I may have gotten close to finding the same Chenille....but what I found has a little red flash as well as the original in the jig example.Attachment 421130Attachment 421131Attachment 421132

I was provided the stock number for the Chenille that was used for this Gray Ghost project.
It's at Barlows Tackle and it's Pearl Chenille stk#710565, color 125-Pearl Gray....Attachment 421333

Looking forward to see it tied up.

I hope I can make them look as well done as Tami McGrann did them. I haven't hardly touched a feather in a year.
It was nice to be provided with exact materials...that's sharing!
I had to order other items to make the order minimum amount...then, it was $8.50 for shipping for what I ordered.. 2 - 2oz powder coat paint and the pearl gray Chenille.

I didn't comment on your Chartreuse head Gray Ghost..
If you've paid attention to my jig offerings, you'd maybe notice a pattern. I usually have Chartreuse heads, and tie them over and over with different color and different materials. Once I went into the world of pill head, I made over a hundred of them, all mostly different in color pattern, but mostly chartreuse heads.

I had been using mostly Chartreuse heads when I started tying about six years ago, then I found alewife and used that primarily for a year. I think the fish don't really care, and it's a fisherman confidence type thing. If it works, go with it.
