i sat there and stared at my vise thinking of what I could come up with fish sure do love an easy meal how about an injured/bleeding baitfish!
This is a chenille that I haven't done much with. Baby crappie

Here you can kind of see how I weaved in the red to keep it subtle.

Bleeding shad. This one was tricky, a weave in a weave




And just to save from starting another thread, I made these to take my daughter perch jerkin in a pond tomorrow after work. I can't wait! I wish I had some smaller hooks (no idea where me little bream hooks went ) but the lady says there's some bigguns in there so we'll see.

SAAAWEET.....
It's that red confetti on the head of the 1st jig?

Well when I want something on a jig to show bleeding I just add one single strip of Red Holo Flashabou right down the bottom of the jig, which is actually the top as you tie it! Works like a charm!

Thanks SK! It is disco lime with a watermelon topcoat.

Yes that would work just fine, but not near as fun when your just playing around.

All very nice brother!

Good looking jigs

Fish really like the bleeding shad today
