Started to tie again

[billygee]

Been awhile that I put my fly vise away,
as finally blew the dust off,
then went to see if my nimble fingers could still tie a couple,
as usually I pour soft bait, and posted a few ties there

Then (snake River)Bob asked give a post here, and get some pointers.

Well, here's a crappie jig I gave a whirl at, and will give a try after ice out.

What did you use for the body material?

What did you use for the body material?

Thanks for your interest

As I stated these are some materials I've had awhile as still in good shape

started out with:

Mustad wide gap jig hook
gray thread
6 wraps of lead wire
gray synthetic fur
pink glitter chenille wrap
topped with 3D eyes
sealed with UV Fly Finish

Hope this helps

The perch minnow is a winner. Very realistic, and good color choice and balance. You haven't forgotten anything.

Awesome job on those, should work well for you. I haven't tied in years and now you got me inspired to start again. Let us know how many fish you get on them.
