Let's Talk Head Colors

[crappieseeker]

can you post a picture of the jig?

I pour, paint and tie for a guy that lives in Tennessee that I worked with. He always asks for unpainted heads, ginger chenille body with light gray tail. Must be something to this combination although up north here it's not a hot color combo for me. He shoots docks alot so a painted head is not necessary to him.

Grumpy, that sounds like a decent may fly or stone fly imitation.

I will post a picture tomorrow, My stuff is out in the garage and it's 14 degrees out there.

This is the ginger and gray I tie, sorry I have no unpainted heads as they have all gone to Tenn. My old phone does not do justice for these jigs.

I'm gonna have to try that color combo out. Looks good.

[MCG1]

Looks great. Thanks Grumpy. Should catch just about anything!

For me it is a love hate relationship with that combo. Up here the dern bluegill the size of the crystal on your watch beat it to death. The smallest tail in that pic is a used jig and you can see it is about gone. Even a #6 hooks is to big for the little attackers that love that combo. The spider is a problem too as they try and pull the legs of and enviably pull the jig down in the brush pile. Hung up again

Good looking tie. Like those colors.
Paint certainly doesn't last long when sent under a dock at high speed.

[GrumpyLoomis]

Correct sir, we fish a large cement dock with cement legs. Paint and hook point would take a beating fast.

Most of what I have down this way are floating docks with steel frames
