Definitely. Tried them yesterday. The Chartruse one nailed at least 10 hookups.

Thank you. They are 1/32. I will be tying a variation of colors and bodies with different color and size heads. Just wanted to make sure they worked first. The ones with the body were what I got most of my hits on yesterday.

Anytime you need someone to "Test" them out for you, just give me a ring. I like to test out a variety of colors, and please send several or each color....

Ha. It's half the fun tying them yourself. I tied 50 in 2 days for when I wasn't busy over Thanksgiving. They don't take a lot of time.

I am assuming that one would still need to add splitshot to one of these jigs in order to get some depth?

Yes, but above the jig at least 8"-12". More than one if needed. Yesterday I used 6 or more sometimes (especially when using bb size). I will be tying them to order in the future.

Whatsajob614 if you dont go to larger than 1/32 size jig have you considered using lead wire to make your jigs heavier?? the lead wire will definately help you get the depth you want without using lots of shot. I guess the downside using lead wire is that it adds alot of bulk to the body and if thats not what your looking for then this was only a suggestion for you to consider. Nice ties by the way. they should work good.

Ha mx. I don't care that much to try and find that recipe. Mine work just fine. Thanks for the idea deetz. I will try that. It can't hurt. I usually like to keep the bodies as small as possible because when it is low and clear, I only use 1 or 2 bbs. But, I am always down to try new things.

I'VE TYED SOME OF MINE AS HEAVY AS 1/8 OZ. THEY WORK WELL IN HIGH , STAINED WATERS AND AT NIGHT. i THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A BIGGER SILOUTE?.  BEAD BODIES WORK WELL ALSO,

There shouldn't be any needed for added splitshot with 1/32 ounce heads. Maybe if the water was really ripping and high, but not really.

Instead of any shot just use heavier jigheads. I use 1/16 most of the time except in really low water. I also use bucktail instead of marabou on heavier heads. Has a slower drop rate. May not have the breathability of marabou but with flash works just as good. Any added shot or lead wire detracts from the action of the jig.

TRY TYING SOME WITH SOME ICE/CACTUS CHENILE FOR THE BODY, THEY LOOK NICE. DON'T FORGET TO TIE IN SOME CRYRSTAL FLASH IN THE TAIL.
