It is a "wooly booger", or my version of it. Skip can explain it a lot better than I can, but basicaly you use chenille, hackle, and thread twisted together before wrapping the body. I got an instructional video from BPS. Can't recall the title, but it had to do with bass bugs. Anyway, it is real easy to tie.Quote:

Also meant to say nice looking fish catch there!

So you tie in the tail, then the hackle feather, then tie and wrap the chenille tie it off then wrap the feather and tie it off. Did I get that right?Quote:

Nice catch bud. Those sure are some dark crappies.
What size jig head is that? 1/32?
Nice mess of fish, nice bugger jig!!! Doc if still photo's make it easier you can get the basics at Fly Anglers online Fly Anglers OnLine, Your Complete Internet Flyfishing Resource. go to the tying section and click on beginning tying. Then look for the bugger.
I really think jig tyers need to take a basic tying class it really helps. I pretty much learned by do it yourself tying jigs and after moving to VT took up fly fishing and took tying lessons definately helped my jig tying.

Well I don't completely tie of the chenille until I tie off the hackle feather. Just a few whip finish wraps to hold all and then once the hackle feather is done then another whip finish with all my wraps.Quote:

You can do it with the wire rib too, but I am not sure I will keep using a jig long enough to worry about a wire rib. I do use the wire on flies.

I like your idea would prefer to finish in the front if possible but i think i understand enough now to give it a try thanks SkipQuote:

Search patterns on FAOL and see what you find.
Also here is a link to the virtual classes.

Can't argue with the results! Nice job.

Nice fishes and nice woolly..
One thing for sure the crappie will tell ya what they want..
mikeb
looks good to me. Hmmmmm mighthave to try this hackle stuff :)
I thought everyone started with the woolly worm and woolly bugger. Guess not. I tied them to learn the in and outs of tying. I wonder if I can find them still. all flies but I caught a ton of trout on them, I would bet almost literally, a ton.
One tip on the hackle, if you notice that the feather doesn't seem to stand up and out very well you can always tie them in from the tip of the feather and wrap them that way instead of the the but end. I do both depending on what look I want now but had to experiment to find what worked best.
