    Default Gold Crystal Chenille


    Ordered some Gold Crystal Chenille size #2 and it came in and is a little smaller than I would like. I found some on Grandpa Bobs and was wondering two things:

    1. What size is bigger than size 2?

    2. Has anyone ever ordered from Grandpa Bobs?

    I would steer you towards Skip (skiptomylu). He can probably answer any questions as well as help with order.

    Size #2 is what a lot of guys use and is especially good on 1/32 Oz and okay on 1/16, but anything larger you have to double wrap. I have some #2, but most of mine is #3 because I like that size better. I even have a few #4 size colors, but the best IMHO is the large Crystal and I have #10 and #12 in that. It's really large looking when dry, but wet it lays back some and makes a beautiful shiny body in the water. It also helps slow the fall a little.

    So #2 is pretty standard for jigs and even smaller for flies as the use even does to the #0 size.

    Maybe Danville size chart will help you? Danville Chenille Company Inc.
    Just know the size of your screen will have impact on how large this stuff looks on the chart.
