How many of you guys and gals have tied up at least a couple of Jungles 1/80 oz. Hardbodies? Well,I have,a half dozen so far.2 olive ones,2 white ones and 2 kelly green ones.I used my Danville thread to just get them tied with Artic Fox,a couple pieces of flash down the sides.Then a drop of Crazy Glue and used my bigger thread to make the body and clear nalpoilished it off.Now,to tie one of then little suckers on my line,that's a differant story.No camera yet,so you'll have to wait for that.

I will be tying up some 1/64 hair jigs first, then maybe a few of the hard bodies. The gills have been going bonkers at one of the lakes around here for little bitty minnows. It is time to tie grandpa up some gill killers!

I can't take credit for hardbodies,I'm a copycat who started downsizing because bigger hardbody's use a lot more thread and take longer to tie. I wear glasses when I tie now. Finally got my eyes checked and they told me something that I've known for awhile,You need glasses. They've made a big difference with the small stuff. I tie at least a few hardbodies every day and my supply is starting to grow. I'm getting that itch to hit the trout streams again and don't plan on running out like I did last time with the black.

That's ok Jungle,you turned us on to them and that means that they as good as yours.I painted 4 dozen 1/64 with a size 8 sickle to use for bluegills and whatever since the baitfish will be kinda small again soon.White,black,pink and olive.A little to hard for me to get into the trout streams anymore,but out of the boat I'm sure they will do great.

Hard for "Cameraless" people to take pics,After I catch a few fish on them you can take a pic of one so that you can go home and copy it,lol.

I had been trying to tie something similar to LedHed's for a while. The thread is tricky enough for me The coatings and holographic additions are a whole 'nother world.
