Don: Let me make sure I understand. You took some awesome hair, tied it in
right behind the jig head, then rope dubbed the body, then used the same
piece of awesome hair for the tail right??? Thanks, 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
