    Default What Do You Think?


    Okay for years I tied jigs using Fl Yellow with Blue Crystal in it, but I got to thinking maybe if there was just a little less Crystal in it, how would that look? Well I am sure you have seen one of my jigs with Blue Crystal before, but will show again to compare. Now I also realized I should have probably tied this using a Blue tail, but I didn't so please just look at the chenille.

    First the older one...



    Then the new one... Uh, before anyone ask the head is unpainted!

    They both look great and I'm sure from day to day ether one will out fish the other. Great work as always skip.

    That's a tough decision. I prefer the original, but would gladly use either one. Pretty jigs Skip.

    I get what you are looking for and it seems you have succeeded. I wouldn't hesitate to throw either but lean towards the flash as I fish mostly stained water. Would you want less flash in clear water?

    Thanks guys! One other thing to consider is the new one is more dense.

    I like both too and that is part of the problem. I do think the Blue shows a little better in hand on the new one and the other does have extra flash, but also not so sure that is always a plus.

    Perfect proportions. The chenille matches the head size exactly.

    Great looking jig.
