Len, Thats real good! wet your fingers and twist that tail up pretty tight, while pully it straight back. The only difference between yours and mine, is that I didn't put eyes on them. They make a green chartruese chenille, and a hot yellow chartruese chenille. Both of them work. Also have painted the heads with both shades of chartruese, It's all good. And I think it holds scent well too. Have you fished them before, or is that your first tie? When casting these things, the cast needs to be different I think. If you ever hit your rod tip with the jighead while casting, it can damage the rod. Casting sidearm, or slightly elevated sidearm seems to work for me, and keeps the thing from hitting me in the back or head. It's best to fish it fairly close to you, in order to keep an eye on your line where it sinks downward out of sight.
