    Default Just a note

    Sunrise to 11 today and total was 9 keepers and a nice LMB. All caught on two of those I've previously posted. The gray with tinsel chenille body and a couple of strips of red "Angel Hair" is a real strong contender for favorite. Y'all told me it would be real good, and ya didn't lie. Black and Chart maribou tail is keeping up pretty good too. Thanx for all of your input guys, really helps a lot.
    Wake me up early,
    Be good to my dogs,
    and teach my children to pray.

    What's Angel Hair?
    "Mister, I love the way you wear that hat."

    Default It sounds good

    I'm glad that you caught some fish on your hand tight jigs keep up the good work you'll catch many more fish. For over a couple months I've been giving some hand-tied jigs to a fishing guide he was one of these die hard tube fishing type of guy that would not change. But he finally is coming around that hand-tied jigs are to best thing that he's ever used out fishing his
    plastic tube 10-1 is assessed rate went up so much that he is switching over completely to hand tied. The people that he takes out fishing also have been using the hand-tied. So it shows to prove one thing that hand-tied jigs are probably coming back again. Is you probably know you cannot buy too many hand-tied jigs at your local sporting goods store for the certain reason cost prohibitive. But I'm sure that those fishermen would not mind paying extra money if they could catch more fish in my right.

    It is about as wide, per strand, as twice the thickness of my thumbnail. Its very soft and moves right along with the maribou nicely.Crystal flash is good too but is much more rigid. Flashabou also works well but is many times wider and I wanted a more subtle way of adding red flash. It comes in other colors too, and you'll probably see some in my future ties as I acquire it. It's time consuming to work all the small stuff but it looks real good when done.
