Thanks so much!!
i like the little bead head ones looks like you will be eating good
Looks good, what kind of hair is the yellow?
Looks like some fly tying influence in them top ones for sure. I like some of them pretty good. I bet you load the box with bream using them too. The top ones are my favorites for sure. Like the chart tails with black tips.
I got to try some of the Polaris hair last spring on bream and it was really good. When things slowed down just take a tiny piece of most any Power bait worm or what ever and it's on. Simple to tie and works.
Keep tying!

AW, I like those top ones. I tie a few calf hair jigs but like trying different jigs.
Are those glass beads?:confused:
My wife has many of the glass ones, but I didn't think they would fit over the hook barb. ole Mike
Good stuff.
Get you some fly tying hooks for bead flies.Quote:

That's chartreuse barred zonker strips.Quote:

Yeah those little bead heads are itty-bitty indeed!!! But man do they work good in my opinion!! I'll need to find my "rollie-pollie".... it's a bluegill jig that has about 3 or 4 bead heads on it and then I do a tiny wrap of dubbing and set it back and then run in some larva wrap (jelly wrap) around and in between those bead heads and then run the dubbing up underneath and whip finish the larva wrap and dubbing at the head. then tease the dubbing a bit for a "leggy" appearance and it looks just like a rollie-pollie!!Quote:

Skip you have some keen eyes my friend!! My tying starting out on trout flies .... I called 'em my White River flies cause I tied them when I spent my summers on the family farm up in Northern Arkansas. Always love to sit down and tie up a stellar paradun or emerger now and then; but where I'm located, trout fishing is not feasible (tends to get hot here in Texas and only a few places in Texas where trout do okay but no where near me!). Used to love taking some time and tying up all the life stages of a fly and having them out there on the river and using whatever we were finding at the time!!!Quote:

yeah some of those are glass ... just take a pair of needlenose pliers and gently flatten the barb... makes for a more fun battle and easier to get the fish off when you're going to catch-n-release.... but for most bluegills that I catch it's "release-to-the-grease"!!!! (that's what Wally Marshall says!)Quote:

yes i love the slower fall too!! especially during the colder months cause those fish aren't going to exert a lot of energy so you gotta put it right in front of them and keep it there!!Quote:

man you need to try out my recipe for bluegills (stellar for crappie too!)Quote:

"O" 1 more thing when you tie the jig pull the knot towards the back of the eye towards the hook point let the jig hange free it should hange tail up if not rety knot or change jigs check this every time.I put 37 fish in the boat in 51 mins 1 day the competion caught 3.
