Last time I was able to fish, I caught them on Bobby Garland Baby Shad Pink Phantoms. I have some light pink chenille and tried tying one up from that, but the light pink is so light that it looks almost white. I decided to do a weave, or whatever the technical term is for it. I also took advice that you guys posted on my first attempt and cut the maribou off the stem and I tried to stop the chenille before the hook point, but I didn't get that accomplished. The weaving of the chenille took a little getting use to.

BGBS pink phantom from a couple Saturdays ago:



Flo pink and light pink chenille, white and flo pink maribou.

Really nice job.

I wouldn't think you liked me if you didn't poke at me. LOL I've got a bad itch to try some out. I'm gonna take off Monday and try the south end. I hope I can find some.

Good luck when you go, keep us posted.

Yep, the itch should get taken care of when you start catching with that....I said it before, I'm going to try and copy it, too.

I got out on the water today, but the crappie didn't cooperate. I've never fished much at all with hand ties or tied jigs of any sort. I knew they wouldn't cast like a jig body but was surprised by the drop in casting distance of a 1/32 and the rate they sink in the water is much slower than a jig body jig. I'll have to figure out the casting distance thing, possibly go with a more limber rod or a heavier jig and I think the slower fall rate will be fantastic, once I get on fish. The action looked great on the "pink phantom" jig.
