Does anyone have a source of extra large or magnum sized chenille?
Here is why I'd like to find some. Over the past few years, I've been tying up some large, long chenille worms for bass fishing. I've been making the bodies by hand braiding four pieces of large ice chenille. Simply twisting the bodies doesn't produce a very durable fly, especially after a few fish. I'd like to make some larger worms then I'm making now. These fish great, but are a pain in the rear to make.
I also have a few ideas for some pink works I'd like to try. If someone knows a source for ice chenille larger then what you'll find in a flyshop, I'd like to hear about it. I've found large chenille at fabric and craft store but not with the flash I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Brian
