The orange and Chartruese is tied in at the back and let orange hang free and Wrap chartreuse to the front. Half hitch and bring orange over the top and whip. If you google hum bug, you can get a better idea than my explanation. If you need any help give me a shout.

Being an ol' guy who has lived in some great trout country over the years, let me just say this. The combination of red and yellow with just a hint of flash has been magnificent for many years. Coloration reminds me of the the old Mickey Finn streamers. I imagine crappie and other panfish would be all over that combo.

Nice tie

I like that.
Thanks for the tying info. Have just googled 'Hum bug' and bookmarked the site for future reference.

PS. I like the 'jig display stand'. A very good excuse to buy the occasional bottle of wine!

I'll tell you if you promise not to laugh too hard. It's a pipe cleaner.

I can sum that up for you in just one word. "yanevano"

 

[HairyMooseKnuckles]

could you sum it up in English?

 

[hookup]

Just googled it, got uses for the word all over the board. From Kosovo to Sons of Anarchy

Nice job finding alt uses for pipe cleaners. Many time's I've looked at something in the store & said that would work on a jig.

 

[AllenOK]

Nice!

Sorry, HairyMooseKnuckles, I guess I should explain. I have never looked it up on google or knew anyone else used the term much. Here is my story....

I am a Viet Nam Veteran and in my platoon was a young solider from Atlanta, Georgia. I can't count the times we thought we would never see the soil of the United States of America again. As a way to keep from going crazier than what we had already began to come, I asked this young solider a simple question. I asked,Michael (the young solider), "When we going home?". He would look at the other guys in our small band of warriors and in his southern drawl say, "Yanevano" - no offense to anyone here who speaks with a southern drawl, but, simply it means to me, "You never know". It became a catch phrase for our platoon. I will never forget, Michael, and his outlook and what it meant to all of us. By the way, some came home and some of my fellow platoon members didn't. God Bless America, my friend!
