Default New Blue For me anyway (Pic)

I got this color Blue in regular chenille and some special chenille and want to know if any of you like it. I have never used it yet, but know some that do.

Would live your opinions about the body color and maybe a few suggestions as to what head and tail colors would you use with it. These were tied with my normal colors to use with other blue shades that I personally know work on most lakes and work well.

Lots of times I use marabou and have some great looking chart in that for the tail that has not as much green in it.

Those look really good Skip. Wonder what the chart./blue/green would look like if you replaced the green with black or maybe even hot pink for off-color water? That silver/blue/white looks like it would give a minnow a run for his money.

Need a field tester?

Default Jig looks great

I like the colors and the size. I had great luck on one very similar last fall. I do think you should make a definable eye on it. I always have better luck with jigs that have an eye.

Good luck

I put eyes on any jig if someone wants them. I use a soliid color eye on Road Runners and usually a two color eye on other jigs.
