No doubt those will be more serviceable. They look great too.
I had a wonderful trip on the fourth. The only down side was the durability, or lack of, of the jig bodies I was using. Sometimes 2 fish was all I got and it was shredded beyond use. They’re big as a minute so it doesn’t take much in the right place to make totally useless. A while back I went to BPS and picked up some micro chenille in bright yellow and had some in a dark olive. These are what I came up with to try to copy what I’ve been using. They are Bobby Garlands Itty Bitty Slab Slayers and are only an inch and a quarter long. The hand ties are 1/64 with a #8 sickle hook that’s black chrome. I’ll give em a shot next time out and let ya know.
Lookin good Tim.

The olive and white and the yellow and root beer both did well this morning. Fishing was slow to start, and I was only out3 hours, but some good fish came to visit. What I learned was the heads I used might say 1/64 on the package but without a collar they don’t cast long enough. I'm going to try some heavier heads and crushing the barb on some collared heads and see how those do. The 1/64 with a collar does well casting but will be bulkier, which may also be a good thing. It will be next weekend before I get an answer, gotta go pour some now. Til then.......
Those look great, especially that sweet tea imitation!
