    Default Where can this Chenille be bought?


    So I want to try feathers again for a 1/32 & 1/64 jig for Bluegills..I'm trying to copy the pattern...it's what I'd call a Gray Ghost....
    I bought and recieved today my feathers. See what y'all think.. it'll be on 1/32 black Sickle #6 hook or a 1/64 Red Sickle #8 hook. A peek at the Hareline feathers.. I had some micro Chenille, in gray with silver flash...I think it's what I bought from Skiptomylu when I first started tying.

    I wonder if any variations work with the gray pattern...
    Like a black Chenille body...I could add some silver Wing n' Flash in a dubbing effect.

    I like the colors on the feathers. I don’t see a pic of chenille if there was one attached. I would check with Skip on the chenille first. I would think any gray color or close would work for what you’re looking to do, as far as the original gray ghost jig it was just plain gray nylon chenille I believe. Anything to mimic a baitfish. Unfortunately chenille is getting hard to get if you need something specific.

    That attachment didn't open...I just didn't notice or I would have corrected that... this was Tammi McGrann's creation.
    It was so nice with the flashy chenille, I wanted to try it. I have some micro Chenille, a silver with short chrome flash that would work...Name:  Screenshot_20220307-205930_Samsung%20Internet~2.jpg

    I buy most of my chenille at wood and waters outdoor. He has a lot with pictures and in stock. I also buy from Nimrods but he was out of stock on a lot due to supplier issues but slowly has stuff coming back in stock.

    You pic looks like a crystal chenille or estaz. Check out Patrick’s crystal and custom chenille. eBay has a great selection if estaz.

    Estaz? Looking that up. It could be the silver is a Crystal flash Chenille, I've had for 2 years, and I did buy my first Chenille from Skiptomylu...none was labeled as to type or color name.

    As well as Skip I agree with DrNip on other locations to purchase chenille from. I have attached two crystal chenille's from Skip that could possibly be it.

    On my monitor, every one not the same, it looks like a pearl crystal chenille. Of coarse Only one eye is functioning right...

    Here is what I’ve been using for grey ghost and has been productive. Color of head can be whatever. Chenille I got at woods and water outdoors. I prefer bucktail over any tail material.
