Mardi Gras Chenille Jig
Well I really wanted to tie a jig using this and this 1/8 Oz head was just sitting in my tray and even though it has a #2 Sickle hook, I just used it.

Thank you guys, I have had this a good while, but just never included it in my pics. So decided last time I ordered from Danville that I would get some to see if anyone else likes it.
I really need to of the pics again because they are just not all that good.
It's still kind of hard to see the colors well in the pic, but the chenille is Green, Gold and Purple!

Being new to tying, what size Chenille do I need to use for tying Crappie type jigs? I like the Chenille in the photo!

Well that is something that in the end you need to discover what you like to tie with and also what size jigs you want to tie. Lots use #2 and this can be sued on small jigs line 1/32 or smaller and also can be used on 1/8 as long as you double wrap it. I like size #3 most in New Age due to most of it having Crystal in it which makes it less dense and #3 will help fill that better IMHO!Originally Posted by hankll
There is also a need for size #2 especially if you use a two color Rayon or Nylon because if you get a #3 someone has to pick a dominate color which will change the look of it. I do really like some of these too, like my FL Yellow and Black and also know when FL Yellow is put with Black or Blue it will look like FL Chartreuse, nt sure why, but it just does.
Now the chenille on this jig is Crystal and some use like a #3 or some sizes like that, but I like #10 & #12. I use is on jigs as small as 1/32 Oz Roadrunners or as large as 1/4 Oz. The material when wet will lay back some showing even more of its shiny color and also make it smaller body that it looks here when dry.

Nice looking tie!
What is that little device you use to hold the jig while taking pictures of it?
Can you post a better pic, where did you get it?
