Absolutely sharp ties and a nicely demonstrated procedure!

I bet that the thread has good action in the water in addition to its glow. Eyelash yarns will have similar action to thread. Hmmm...I wonder if...

From head to tail,those are killer.I can't get my heads to glow like that. Where can I find some of the glow wig hair? It looks a lot finer than the glow flashabou that I use. I bought my glow chenille on ebay a few years ago. It's more expensive than regular chenilles. I bought 3 colors of size 3 for $36 per skein. I still have quite a bit left if someone wants a sample to try out in white,yellow and orange. I know there are a few online stores that carried it. I think Bob Marriot's sells glow chenille. It has it's uses,mainly deep or dirty water or night fishing.

Talk to JJ1 for the chenille – seems to be a real good brand

SV
No worries – did you check out the scissors? Good for feathering hair ends

JSC, Heather, hunter7711, and Radtexan
Thnx for the compliments

Thnx Pup – think the longer it soaks in the water the more action it will get. Used a small dubbing needle on these

JJ1
I have a bunch of the wig hair – can swap for more chenille. Got the wig off of eBay – way too expensive

Those are great . Doubt my fingers are still nimble enough to do production on lures that small . Plus I may need a 500X magnifier.

Those are sharp! Gave me a few ideas. I never wouldve thought to use thread as a tail material. Do the jigs need to be"charged"?

Thnx tf – figure I have a few more years - at 1.75 wit the readers

You can use all kinds of threads (embroidery, floss, yarn, silks, etc.) for tailing. For these I took 2 thread strands ~12”, doubled them, and cut them in half. Repeat that step 3 times before lashing the threads to the jig.

All the phosphorus materials have to be charged. Use a black light for indoor photos.
I like this little charger for fishing – got this off of eBay - cheap.

Very cool ties! I was unaware that glow chenille and glow thread existed. I will be hunting down both for sure!

Check out Fly Tyers Dungeon – they have glow in the dark hair - gotta be better than the glow wig. I haven’t tried it – think CCJ posted up the link for the site – very cool – lots of stuff.

Got the glow thread off of eBay – 4 pk./different colors – wasn’t that expensive. You got to use a big bobbin – saltwater size.

Had 30 mins of light after work, an ultralight, slip cork, a gravel pit bank and one of your jigs. Not much but they'll eat. One at the bottom was a hair short of 14". Thanks Sonny.
