Thread: Been Trying To Make a Jig That Looks Like a Rosey Red For a While Now

Anyway if you have never seen a Rosey Red Minnow or used them, they are so much better than shiners. I got to use them in Arkansas a couple years back and they live longer and are a lot tougher than a shiner. So I have been working on this ever since when I had time. I got the chenille over a year ago now and tied a couple minnow head jig to show, but I wanted a Roadrunner type bait for this and got a few Pony heads to tie up so I could ask you guys what you think. Here are my 3 versions and yes 2 look very close and may not really be different enough, but the other is different for sure and also a couple pics of the Rosey Red minnows so you can see the color range. Well not totally because some look almost the color of a shiner, but I love the ones with a little color difference.








So here are the jigs and please tell me what you think.

Thanks guys, when I started this actually sent the woman (not there any longer) these pictures and then I picked some color combos I wanted to see a sample of and the they made some samples trying to get close. So the chenille colors are mixed between them and myself as far as picking the country combos. Heck I must have had a dozen different sample to look at and narrowed them to these to buy. Anyway it's been a fun venture and just seems I enjoy the having an idea to try and get that to a reality to actualy try fishing with. It's hard to tell but both the top 2 have Crystal in it and the bottom one has none. I do intend on trying these come spring. Should be fun all over again!
