one more thing on my mind about this is.i think these odd colors work because the fish hasnt seen them before.for example how many times u think a crappie will see a white jig or a chartruse one?? about every fisherman out there will throw these colors. i like to use the oddest colors i can find or tye that way there is less chance crappie have seen it..sorry to ramble on just my 2 cents on this
