Ice Jigs

1st attempt at ice jigs. These are on 1/32 oz jig heads. The bottom 2 with glow in the dark chenille will probably be the way I'm sorta leaning towards. Ordered the glow in the dark tail material last night. When I have all my material the entire jig will glow. The jig heads have a white powder base coat with 3 coats of glow in the dark powder paint. Will be attempting 1/64 oz next. I will also be making some ice flies with beads instead of jig heads still thinking on that one lots of different ways I can go on that one..

Comment by dick tabbert on December 8, 2014 at 9:52pm: Thanks Jim and Carl. The top two I just quit not what I was looking for so I think the bottom two is where I'll be putting my interest in.

Comment by dick tabbert on December 8, 2014 at 6:22pm: Jim you have better luck than I getting stuff from China. It usually takes a couple months for me to get something. I was reading and it said the longer it is exposed to the light the longer it will stay charged. I'm still hunting for that magic bullet something I can shine the light on and it will stay charged all month, Ha Ha. On my flies I'm like you small 10,s and 12,s maybe 14's if I can see something that small. Good luck on your tying.
