It's tinsel time!

I just saw that my local wal-mart has been installing their christmas section, and had already stocked the glittery tinsel that I've been using to make rockfish jigs - including 'root beer' tinsel.  Swing through and check if you'd like some tinsel - this stuff is much better than the basket stuffing tinsel that's available year-round.

Thanks for the heads up, Josh

I bought some mylar Easter grass and just rubber-banded it to my jig...it seemed to work great.  I've also thought about running a mylar balloon through a paper shredder...

My first tinsel was mylar tinsel, and it worked well.  But the 'ultimate icicles' at walmart has holographic glittery stuff in it that gives a nice scale-like shine.  It's also dirt cheap, like $1 for enough to make 10 jigs.

cool   I'll give it a try.  I'm sold on using tinsel...but I'm always looking for better ways
