They can be a paint to tie. you have to have your jig in the vise and thread wrapped on. Once you cut some off the hide, you have to pick the long hairs out so they end up looking like the ones above.
tie these up on a 1/4 oz head with the grizzly and some bucktail that's been dyed orange, get a patch of the brownish/orange and tie that in it makes a really nice jig!!!
