Nasty Piller..It looks like something coming out of a bad end, and the tentacles are just *shrug* These look like the Nasty Horde

Playing around had a few hooks to use up and came up with this, named it the Nasty Piller unless someone can think of a better name I'm open for suggestions..

Jim I know. He sent me a few to try and they are fish catching machines. I did tip them with Gulp Wax Worms and me and Cheyenne caught plenty fish last week on vacation.

Steve, I've seen waters and color dependent. However, the universal color scheme as been olive, dark olive, chartreuse, and pink chenille, and the touch of the perl/artic krystal flash for synthetic materials.

The 1/64oz is a gray zone for sinking type. It's either 1/32oz during the late spring through mid fall for the fast and furious actions as the waters warm up, or the 1/80 or 1/100 oz for the pick and enticing on hard bites. Jim Gronaw and Jeffrey Abney provided the most detailed data that I've collected based on flies maker and flies users. More and more flies are being used in various water, like LedHed and Allen are coming forward with more insights with unique reports and  between cool and warm waters now.

Try to follow them and use what they offer as patterns and schemes. I've selected a few go-to designs, and update variation. Tipping will be the last to go to, which is either larvae of bettles, waxworms, or small offering of small hybridized worms. Good luck and report in.

I only have 1 color(chartreuse) tied on 1/64 oz heads that I've tried so far.I tied some 1/32oz clear/sparkle and chartreuse that I haven't tried yet.I bought some white skirts and want to tie some of those.I was thinking of trying some black but don't have any skirts to use.I usually tip mine with maggots.

Dick..we got those massive hybrids yesterday on 1/32 oz Autos I tied and I lost two big fish last week on them in another pond. Ledheds innovation in jig tying is one of the best I have seen in many, many years.

When I used them over vacation a week ago for the 1st time they caught everything. The only thing I did was add a Gulp Wax Worm.

Nice lookin jigs.I've been messing around with them too.The ponds we've been fishing have Crappie in them and I've been getting more Crappie than Gills on them.

They are just fine in length Dick. I've provided longer tails, and they work just as great.
