That jig is a nice leech or hellgramite imitation, I like the big hooks on the football heads.

O yes! Good looking jig Pup and I like that black. Been doing good with the jigs tied with the silver/white yarn Just love the way it lays back when in the water and flows with the jig. Awesome jig!

Looks great Pup, I have done a few jigs with the fun fur but have yet to manage to get that much how to say... flare out of the strings on the fun fur body. How do you do it?

Thanks Stanger. I practice a little bit.

Keep good tension on the yarn and watch that you don't overlay too many lashes. Overlaying a few lashes is unavoidable. Use your thumb and fingers to pull back the lashes as you wrap the jig.

Fun fur is one of the more difficult eyelash yarns to work with in my opinion. However, it's one of the best-looking where it counts (in the water). :jig:

You know to tell the truth I have yet to put one of the eyelash yarn jigs I have tied in the water to see what it looks like.
Aint that a shame?
