Thanks Tinknocker1. I changed them up just a little. I was tying the gills on the backside of my windings and they didn't flare out so now I tie them in front of the windings and the flare straight out I think that looks better of coarse I can't tell if the fish can see the difference. I seen an example on the chartreuse jigs top view somehow I have an old one in that picture you can see the older one the gill lays straight back and doesn't flare out.

Have fun with them Allen. The longest part of the whole process is painting the head and setting the eyes. We have 2 coats of powder paint white always my base and 3 coats of Sally Hansen hard as nails to paint over the eyes to hold them on they do have sticky backs on them but after 1 cast they will probably come off so we lock them in with the Sally Hansen's.

I may have to try something like this.  I've got so many colors of chenille it isn't even funny!

Thanks John. Don't know if you seen all the color line ups. I even played around with a crawdad color since I had a few orange heads laying around made up. I kinda like them but they were a little more work if you get a chance check them out let me know what you think.

Thanks Allen. Here I thought I had everything covered but leave it up to me to forget something as usual. The jigs are 1/32oz with a bronze #6 hook.
