Thanks for the tying tip Allen!

Those first versions of that jig used some painted-gold jig heads, of which I have since run out of.  Now, I'm powder-painting the jigheads Chartreuse.

Jim, that tapered body is done with a few white marabou barbs trimmed from the feather, tied in at the tip, twisted into a rope, then wrapped around the hook.  I'm using Ostrich Herl now, gives it a more even look, although that tapered look is good as well.

I like that tapered-hackle body...I must try to replicate it!

1/80th ounce stuff has caught all my fish the past week since the ice came off.
