Usually we like tying things we like to fish with, so don't see it as an oddball thing at all. When I started liking the Chartreuse and Blue so much, most still prefer Chartreuse and Black, but I have had lots of guys that like the Gray Ghost more than any other. I also believe it has a lot to do with the water we each fish and lakes are different, even ones close like Rayburn and Toledo Bend. While close and lots of colors cross over each has a color or colors that work better in one lake over the other. Not to mention that there are a lot of different methods and they can sure impact color choice.
