Lemme get to looking at the chenille name. Should be easy to find. Pretty sure it's "baitfish" chenille, but may be wrong.Originally Posted by FurFlyin
The paint is custom. Silver metal flake from a paint n body shop, clear and a lightened up grey I had made. Not sure I'll find the exact ratio.
Tail is neck hackle, grey Dunn.
Head is a custom mold I have n pour.
Those are both 1/16th. #2 hook on both also

Thanks for the info. Luckily we have a paint guy at the shop. Now I've just got to find some of his silver metal flake paint. LOL

That's easy, You have some clear powder paint? Add some Metal Flake Silver, I actually have some Holographic Metal Flake Glitter. Even made some jigs kind of like I did my glow jigs and they didn't catch on. I even have Chartreuse Glitter, lol!
Here are a few I did and this body will never break down, the tail will wear off before anything else happens to this, lol! You can just use Clear Powder Paint and Silver Glitter.

What's the green part of the jig? Clear over something?

It's Chartreuse Glitter in Softex. These pictures really don't do it justice. Oh I forgot, first like my glow jigs I tie on some white Ultra chenille as it's smooth so I have a good size base and the chenille soaks the Softex in.

No, but it's feeing like maybe we should be. I have had all the cold I want for this year, but I also know this will help a lot of other things. We needed some good freezing weather and got it! I know there will be less bugs which here is a good thing. Also there are a lot of other benefits we will get from that.

He's gonna be a fisherman Mr Tom. Come down and teach us.
Didn't want fluorescent yeller today, but a small few liked the shiner jig.
