Trying to make some jigs for gills. Input/Suggestions would be appreciated.
The head is a 1/64 Shad Dart, #8 lil Nasty, HF Red PC, White pearl dust on belly.

JIG 1 Silver Tinsel Chenille, Bright Red/Orange maribou tail

JIG 2 Silver Tinsel Chenille, White Sili legs
View attachment 4
JIG 3 Burnt Orange Chenille, White Sili Legs
View attachment 5
JIG 4 Gold Tinsel Chenille, White Sili Legs
View attachment 6

Please let me know, I started with the head which has been for me the most productive BG jig.

Shad dart heads are little tight for me to tye on. Mostly because I need the space at the tail for tipping.
Pretty sure all those will hunt. Change the color of the legs (banded brown), use four strands, and split them in pairs, crawdad style.
Ran out of my crawdad pattern on my last outing. Had some glo red, same pattern, and the fish hammered them. Going to tye up some more of them!
