I have been hearing alot about people using baits similar to the stinger shad, crappie stingers and slab bandits... they are pretty much a grub body with a thin single tail. Thought i would give a shot at making my own. I used the yarn to build up the top and bottom of the jig to give it some-what of a shad profile. I thought they turned out decent, need to play around with a few more colors.

The zonker hide was the left overs after trimming the hair off for some smaller jigs. I have a hard time throwing away my scraps. :D I also have some edge trimmings off of whole rabbit hides i have zonker cut myself that i am going to try and trim into craw pinchers... winter time project.

Very neat AF. Like the body weave too. Did you use your chenille bobbins to do it? I bet they would come in handy for this!

Scott & JJ1 - Thanks! :) Hope to get out and throw them at some fish before my water gets 'crusty' on top. :-/

RD - Thanks. Did not use the bobbin... I have waaaaaaay too many colors of chenille and this yarn for how many 'deep' spools i have made. I have cut 6 spools so far and loaded them with my favorite chenille colors. Need to find someone with a wood lathe to make me about 30 spools... think i am getting carpal tunnel from trying to cut them by knife and sandpaper!!!! :beat-up: Boss is starting to wonder why i am always hiding in the back room too. HaHa!!!!

Nightprowler - FAOL has a step by step in their advanved fly tying articles for a few different weaves... the first 4 in the list. I used the hook weave style on these but also use the tiger weave. Have never tried the granny weave, but it pretty much looks like macramae knots around the shank - now, the hackle weave looks like a 12-pack night worth of a headache!!!! :beat-up:

Hope to put a tutorial of my tie on here, but that won't happen till after the holidays. Hope this helps.

Ain't no way I could do that without a 500x magnifier. Ya know when you're getting old can't poop , can't pee , can't see . Keep going that direction and I'll need tennis balls stuck on the legs of my walker as slip and slide precautions.

Lost Pole - Got it posted in the patterns/recipes...... Stinger - Weaved Body

The weave can be a pain and i'm not sure how good a job i did explaining and showing it. Hopefully enough info to get the idea. Just don't give up on it, i promise that it gets easier the more you do it. - Russ
