Tied these for moving water and moderate retrieves.  Used a variety of materials.  Several can be obtained from a fabric or craft store.

Materials:
  • Two 1/4-oz. Northland Gum-Ball Jigs with 1/0 red hooks
  • Darice Craft Fur - silver
  • Bernat Boa Eyelash Yarn - blue grey
  • Zucker Feather Products Schlappen Feathers (3) - black
  • FlyMasters (Wapsi) Schlappen Feather - white
  • Coats Metallic Thread (40-wt.) - silver
  • Danville Flymaster Plus Thread 140 denier - fl. blue

The silver metallic thread forms an abdomen on each of the jigs.  It is hidden behind fur and feathers.
