    any standard marabou jigs can work, and especially in your standard color/flashes

    Also Chenille jigs have been working now and then in chart/white and red/black

    This goofy thing worked a few times last year for me, so I tied some more up for this year

    Cool deal. That thing looks pretty sweet. what kind of jig heads do you use? mustad, owner? I've made a few umm, "expiramentals" by making a flash tail, then taking krystal flash pipe cleaners out of the craft section at wal mart and wrapping it around the jig head for the body. add's a touch more weight and alot cheaper than buying flash from gander. whole pack of pipe cleaners for 80 cents. they catch bluegills pretty darn good so far. but then again, i've bluegills on a bare hook before.
