Eric - I tie wings on a lot of my jigs. I think that extra bit of hair adds some bulk for a slower fall kinda like a parachute. Of course, I have no scientific evidence to back this up, but I believe it, so it's true... lol Good lookin jig.

I like the squirrel jig. I'm undecided about the beard though. Maybe if it was a little shorter I'd be more hip to it. The fish need be the ones to decide. Good luck.

Look better with thought the beard. I would have waited to glue that chenille down before checking to see if I want to add more tail on. Then after I was happy I could go ahead and glue the body of chenille down 💯💯💯💯👍🏽

Squirrel tails make great flies. That’s why Mepps will pay or trade hunters for squirrel tails for their spinners. I think the beard was too high. If it was closer to the body might have looked better. But the fish are the judges.

I like the length and beard for crappie but I shorten the hair upon my smaller than 1/32 for gills. A bare head with red or gray squirrel tail and that same olive chenille is a winner for me on my coppernose bluegill here in FL. Nice work.

I love the "Bearded Tree Rat". I tied one last night using the black Squirrel tail and Chartreuse calf tail, no beard. Turned out great. I also tied one with pink calf and black squirrel. Going to KY Lake to test them tomorrow. I have some red fox I going to try soon. Thank you for sharing.

I have used the calf and don’t care for it, might be ok fir really really small jigs. But it is so slick and very fine. I like rabbit better. The fox I have tried as well, a lot of under fur on a fox tail. You gotta comb it very throughly. I want to try lambs wool. I have some and haven’t tried it out. It’s black.

Reel Foot is a great lake for that jig. Make that in a 1/64 and fish it around the Cypress roots and hold on for some serious blue gill action with a mix of crappie and occasionally a bass or catfish running those beds.
