Darn you Pepop!!!!!!!!!LOL Got everything but that Texas Toast!!! I have got to get me some of that.

That's tied with #2 I got from CrazyAnglerTackle.com. Kinda thin so I double wrap. A friend of mine got his hands on a skeen of #5 TT and I think he's gonna share a little with me. Can't wait to see the difference it makes.

Okay!!! The only size I saw on roberts site was a size 3. Is he the only one who carries it??? Looking to get some more cross cut strips and would like to order everything IF possible from one place.

Do you have any idea where he got that? I may be interested in a few of these tinsel type chenilles in a #5.... most of the #2-3 sizes are just too thin for bigger jigs.

Very nice jig!

You're right Doug, its #3. My mistake. It's good looking stuff. If you don't already have some, brown thread disappears Purdy good.

I like the paint job MUCHO. Your ch mix might be better than the original. Really the perfect dressings for that chenille. I think I could also see it working into the never failing black n chrt combo too.. Sweet tie.

Thanks Stump & LP. Wadaya think LP, black head, chartruese tail with toast between or were you thinking the 2 color head with black chenille & chartruese tail? I'm always looking for fresh ideas.
