Bought three bags of mylar shredding normally used for stuffing gift bags. The mylar comes in three colors, silver, red and a light gold.

Tied sixteenth ounce jigs with the silver strands and cut the ends of each strand with a tapered cut. After applying about 3 strands on each side and doubling them back before wrapping, I added one strand of red and doubled that as well. The jigheads were painted red and the tie was with red thread.

Pier fishing in Florida, I caught 5 varieties of fish. So far, in freshwater fishing below a dam, I've caught two.....a hybrid bass and many herring.

Will be trying for largemouth, smallies, and crappies soon.

good deal...I would like to know if it held up to the salt?...bass lures work in salt...I used to get big blues off a 5" broom handle and a 6/0 treble...
