Danville makes it all and just depends on who is ordering it and what size! WAPSI also buys their chenille from Danville like everyone else. There are some other Mfg's like the people that make...

Good work and now time to see how much the crappie like them!

Here is the chenille I am using for Monkey Milk.

That is amazing and that hook breaking there is nuts! Something bad wrong with the hook and how it was made! Maybe bad heat treatment or like GrumpyLoomis said something really wrong with the...

They sure look good!

They look very nice!

Well I can help but think how that cats going to react when it gets the first hook in, lol?

Skip

Good work!

Way too cold for me, heck it's getting to cold here as well, but our lows are going to be in the 20's, lol! I did stupid things like fishing in cold when I was still a young man and it was never fun!...

Most all jigs you can use 210 Flat Waxed and strong enough to keep from breaking it a lot. I also use some 140 Denier Flat Waxed, just have to not wrap as tight.

Maybe try the DIY board on Pouring

Chased bass a long time back using buzz baits at night usually right after the spawn and right up against the bank. If you have never fished at night like that it's awesome!

Skip

I just make sure to miss both end of the wrapping part because the swivel is on one end and the hook point on the other. Just have to get use to how to tie them. Once you have tied a bunch I am sure...

Check with Grousefly on CDC here!

Skip

Grousefly on here also can make them, several kinds I think!

Skip

Bluegills should be all over them!

Just for kicks I will add one from a few years back.

I wanted to try Hackle tails on Roadrunners.

When I was still tying a lot I started using some gutter guards that I rough shaped and added some pieces of scrap tile for weight to hold them steady. Now I used these in my big oven, but like you...

Here is what my Popeye jig looks like and I do like them, they work very well!

I don't sell them though!

Yes never cut the natural ends off of marabou!!! Not everyone, but I even take the barbules off the stem and make a stack until I have enough. Then pinch it all about where I want to cut off the ends...

Start with the stick post at the top of this board!

Skip

Good job and yes the drill bits are hard to beat making eyes, lol!

Skip

Yours are larger than the ones I have, these have I think are 1/32 and 1/16, 1/24 and 1/12 I need to look as my memory is not what it once was, lol!

Skip

Here are a couple from the spring of...

The more you tie the better you will get. You have a good start and now enjoy and catch some crappie!

Skip

I have some crappie size spinner baits and they work great, am sure these will too!

Nice work!

Skip

Just use a counting method that fits your speed. Like for me a 1/16 Oz head I cut to 10 flipping it at least once, not 10 seconds either, lol! So when I get to a 1/32 I probably cut that in half and...

Yeah Skeet that Christmas tinsel looks good, but I don't like it at all for my jigs. I like Flashabou most, but I also like Krystal Flash, however after that they have this Midge Flash that is like...

Good looking ties!

I have powder painted my 1/32 Oz Roadrunner heads for years and I use an alcohol burner for heat. I stick it right into the fire, just not for very long and dip. Of course you have to protect the...

Congratulations, know you must be feeling pretty good! Good job!
