Striped Candy Mini Bites

[CrappieDreamer]

I ordered some size 8 hooks this past week and decided to try some patterns using them on 1/32 heads for a friend. I’m not satisfied with the stripes and am anxiously awaiting some smaller diameter chenille to arrive to see if it works better.

As always, all constructive feedback is greatly appreciated!

I love the look, but I can't tell if it blocks the hook. How do you tie in the feathers? V over a tip?

Nice jigs, I like the stripes. Look on ebay for some micro chenille. Some of what I bought was flashy looking and other was just tiny and both work well on the tiny jigs. Happy hunting.

One tip of each color and a stack of Vees, alternating color

I don't know about the fish,but I sure like them.I can't imagine the gills turning their nose up at them.
