WHOAAAAA!!!!!. That is a lotta different jigs. Bluegills, crappie and bass
here would tear those things up. My only problem with jigs, and I hate to
admit this after all these years is that all but the tiniest headed jigs are
hard for me to cast very far, unless I use my big 'ol 8wt bass road.
Specially the ones with the spinner blades cause of the wind resistance I
guess. But they are killer flies when I use the ones I can cast (1/8th
ounce and smaller on my 4 and 5wt rods). I gotta try to tie some of these.
I'll have to break out the 'ol rope dub DVD for a refresher course, but I
have been needing to do that anyway. On the real small awesome hair minnow
patterns, is the body glued in any way to hold the shape?? Or just combed
out and fished "as is"?? Thanks a lot. Chuck

Chuck,
There are a few jigs tied with Awesome Hair in the photo (attached), to
the
right side. This is a group I tied for Skip Nance to give him an idea of
how to adapt many different materials to both the jig and rope-dub
technique. The segmented bodies come out really grubby looking, like
molded
jigs, but are very durable, shiny, and are easily rope-hackled if that is
being effective.
I have tied minnow patterns down to about 3/4" long, with just one small
clump of AH combed and tapered, with a marker color on top. Glue and pinch
eyes to the front just like normal AH Minnows. Jig-head AH minnows should
also be very effective.

Hey Don..Or anybody else who has tied flies using "Awesome Hair" Have
you
ever used some, say, size 8 hooks and tied up smaller versions of those
"Awesome Hair" baitfish/minnows and fished for bluegills with them??? If
so, did they do pretty good??? Thanks, Chuck
