Nope I don't think they will work!
Send them to me and I will dispose of them properly! ;)
Looks like quite the spread. I'd pick the top ones, third row from the left. Lots of clear water reservoirs round here and those would match pretty close to the baby bluegill.
Doesn't anyone use white?? Got to be the first color I pull out on 75% of days fishing! White/Pink & White/Yellow
as always Skip a very nice looking spread of jigs...that bunch would make any crappie fisherman proud....are those 1/4 or 1/16??
i like the 4 all blue they would get used here
I like the ones with chartruse in them...and pink....and blue.....
the three sets with variegated body's are killer skip. you always make a very professional jig. I like your style
Skip, bueatiful set of jigs. I admire how clean the wrapping is. Any tips on how to finish the wrap?

About all I can tell you is I try to stop going back near the hook point or the barb area at most. Then I wrap it all the way back to the head as close as I can and catch it with my thread and whip finish.
On the 1/8 I do double wrap on most chenille (Crystal Antron I can single wrap with the larger size). If I use size #4 I can also just single wrap, but most of my chenille is size #2. I always start everything at the head and end at the head. My first pass is just the chenille laying along the shank until I stop going back and then I take the thread back to the head. Then wrap the chenille to the head and finish.

damn skip thats a lot of material wouldn't ya say.
i agree but wouldn't it be better to use the larger size or does the smaller size offer something better?
LOL, OK I have about 36-38 different chenille colors and I buy it from Danville so have to buy 144 yards of each. I sell some at times, but still even if I just had one skein of each in size #2 which I use in 1/16 and less that is a lot of chenille. So if I then add in size #4 I will have to double all that I have now to add the #4 in. Now that is just too much chenille to stock.
You can't use size #4 in smaller jigs and 1/16 being king of numbers you have to make it fit that 1/16 and #4 is just too big.
