went to joanns fabrics today and bought some satin for tying jigs with. must have got 5 or 6 colors and it was real cheap. came home and tied one jig using the white satin as a tail, it was easy to pull the fibers out of the fabric after I cut a 2x2 peice. I really like the effect it gives the jigs appearance. here is the simple wool and satin jig I tied, it's a 1/32 roundhead on a size 4 sickle.

anyway, the satin came in a bunch of colors, and it was 43 inches wide on the bolt, and I just got the lady to cut me 6 inch wide peices 43 inches long. I got 2 peices of white, one peice of dark green, one of a beautiful green, don't know what to call it, one dark blue, one red. and all this was less than 5 bucks!! so it is cost effective. I got the costume satin which is the cheapest, still learning to tie this wool to get the effect I want. wonder how slow this stuff falls? need to dunk one in the pool.

oh yeah, I got a purple peice too, it is gorgeous!! cheap cheap cheap is the word, all these expensive materials for accenting jigs may fall by the wayside if this stuff works, which I am sure it does.

Excellent shad type shapes to those jigs. Going to have to get some of this wool just so i can stretch it & see how it all works. If it holds shape...... can see it taking place of kip tail in some circumstances.

I like the sculpin wool but would like to get some wool on the hide that hasn't been brushed out, I would use this on the hook point side of the jig. wondering if I need the satin fibers on the outside of the wool like ole RED does, it's not very often I verticle jig, at least not yet, most of my fishing with a jig is done under a float.
