New jigs

These are something new I tried yesterday. Idea popped into my head after coming back from the fly shop to stock up on some palmer chenille and thought how about you try a hackle and palmer chenille body, no chenille body. Tried them together, a bit awkward trying to keep the hackle and palmer chenille lined up straight while wrapping up the hook but it worked. Couple pics shown under uv light. I'll get better but like the results. Attachment 499298Attachment 499299Attachment 499300Attachment 499301Attachment 499302

Those look good Jim. Really like how they look under the UV light.

Wow super nice ties. Thanks for sharing

Great looking jigs Jim...

Very nice combo.

How did you make the two-tone tail?

Scary good!! Saw some of that tail material at Cabela the other day. Will have to try!
watching your channel now lol.

Those in the top pics are guaranteed to catch smallmouth. Love the colors. Awesome work!

Sweet ties there!

Nice!Thanks for sharing!

Yesterday I started trying to wrap two colors of palmer chenille and hackle together but too difficult to keep three materials straight while wrapping so wrapped the two palmer chenilles along the body and wrapped the hackle in at the collar. These are 1/16 and last pic is 3/32. Attachment 499381Attachment 499382Attachment 499383Attachment 499384

Those all look great Jim. I totally understand that needing three sets of hands sometimes. Those heads are outstanding as usual.

rezz, the two tone colors are Frostip rabbit strips in black/chartreuse from Hareline. Cutting two clumps off the hide of a magnum zonker strip. I get the magnum strips since they are twice as wide as regular zonker strips but only one less strip per pack, more bang for the buck.

Some killer work.

They look good.

Those are sharp Jim. The smallies would like the fuzzy ones.

You have mastered your jig tying skills. Absolutely beautiful!

Outstanding as always Jim. :ThumbsUp
