    Default Couple Roadrunners


    I the the same jig over and over for a guide friend and it's a color I got him to try when he was using some other colors all the time and even a different weight. He always used 1/16, but this one was 1/32 and with a Cinnamon Body and Purple hackle tail. Well after making these for him and others for years it kind of hit me that maybe I should try that color or close on a Roadrunner. I have never tried this color combo even though I have tied it for 10 years at least, LOL! Then I even added a little Chart in the Purple tail on the next one. So what do you guys think?

    You are a true artist. Excellent work. I'd hate to throw them in the water.

    Thanks guys! The one I was trying to get close to without using regular chenille did use just that, but to me this looks close to the Ginger or cinnamon some call it. I also made them with Ginger with Gold Crystal in them, but he always said they both work good. He even fishes the little 1/32 oz jigs in deep water in summer type pattern.
    i just want to see what happens in my shallow water fishing.

    Well, I'm ready for a bidding war now. Let's auction some of 'em things off Skip. What am I bid? Give us a starting price Skip and get this auction under way.
    They look great and that chart/purple looks like a great combo.
