This particular mop chenille doesn't unravel. It's really fat and dense so it would be pretty bulky tied in like that. You could do that with other types of small chenille though. There's a fly pattern with a loop of chenille at the tail called the green weenie that is supposed to imitate an inchworm.
Don't worry, catch crappie.
