Hello and good day to all. I am a new member here, and am getting into the tying of jigs also. I have seen all the pretty chenille's, and the different styles of jig's being tied, both on here and on many of the you tube video's. What my question is, can regular yarn ( like for knitting be used instead of chenille. I understand the life expectancy will not be as long as that of chenille, but at least to get a feel for not only of how to tie the jigs, but possibly used to catch some fish. I am sorry for being so nieve on the subject, but asking any way. tight lines to all.
