    Thanks guys really appreciate the feed back!

    lowe175 I also fish several colors close to this without the Red. Mostly a Silver/FL Yellow/FL Blue which I found for me seemed to catch larger fish more than others, but maybe it was just luck of the day? That is kind of what made me do this and I took the FL Chart Estaz in regular size and then made the dollar using Grande Red Estaz. I was thinking I wanted the red to have longer hackles to stick out some. It's not easy to do on a Sickle hook because of the short strait portion of the shank, but it's not all that hard, just could use a little more room to have more of the Chart.

    I did have visions of this with a little longer Chart part and then the longer Red hackles streaming back over the Chart, but not covering it all up either, LOL!

    I like it Skip. My wife said it looked like it was going to a party. So take it to a crappie party and let it get bit. It will surely catch the attention of a few eyes.

    Looks a little "redneck" to me, which means it probably will catch fish.

    Its bright, that's for sure. I like it.

    On a humorous note...it kinda resembles the fringe on a grannie's knickers. lol

    Skip I would think the red will work great for the gills or wounded bait. At first look it is loud but it gets better looking each time I look at it.

    As Stump said, after looking again I really like it. Somehow it grows on you.
