Never heard of it, but tied in 1/64-oz, would be killer on bluegills or at the docks in winter.

New one for me but would be easy one to tie. Will try one tomorrow

It's like a wooly bugger (fly pattern tied on a jig) with a piece of chenille pulled over the top of it. It's a jig that's been around for a long time and has so many names you can't remember them all.

Does look similar to a w.bugger but not sure that is chenille making the 'skunk' stripe. If it is, has to be a very small or ultra size chenille..... i would guess some kind of yarn - i have some poly yarn that would work nicely for that. Betting it would work on multi species depending on how big it is tied. Alos interesting to see a no tail design, don't have to worry about the tail nippers, only one place to bite!

Para post material or pearl tinsel flashback.... basically tie an upside down scud.

One of the local old time tiers here used to do a jig like that . He was a preacher and a angler . Started Kenny tackle in 1945 . In 1994 We met and he took a shine to me I purchased his supplies and he gave me the right to Kenny Tackle For old times sake I will still package a lure now and then on a Kenny tackle card . I learned a lot from him . R. I. P. Rev. Kenneth Smith . Thanks

Aren't those illegal to use in Georgia?

They are tied in northern Wisconsin. Here is the website:

put a white crappie nibble on there and see what happens.

I tie a similar jig using different colors of pearl braid as the stripe instead of the ultra chenille which it looks like to me as the belly stripe. Those will work.
