60* or 90* jig. Slotted cones or not?

Did you add the legs before adding the hackle or before adding the chenile?

 

[Don]

Trying to copy you. Working with what I have....

 

[Nappy]

Don that will fish well. Are you using tungsten slotted beads?

 

[Nappy]

What kind of jig hook r u using and what size?

 

[Don]

No I wanted to tie a couple first and see if I like the tie before putting in an order where you mentioned. I owned and used a 5/32 bead and also 15 wraps of .015 lead wire on a 90* #8 jig hook. Copper wire, silly legs 'loop tied', sage green yarn in place of chenille, maraboo tail, Grizzly schleppen. Its all stuff I have on hand for this demo. If you're thinking that I'm on the right track and there is a consensus then I'll order the correct components and tie them better in this size (#8) and a larger one......say #2 or 1/0. Is that too large for Pickerel and LMB?

I wrap 3/4 up then add the legs and wrap in between them with my hackle and chenille

Thanks I noticed all you guys leave you Maribou tails pretty long. Why? Too much in a hurry to pinch them back or do you really want them that long?
