    Looks like Powder Blue. I believe Crazy Angler has it. Nice jig!

    it looks like powder blue but it has a hint of green you can't really tell from the picture. I think I have some turquoise dye I'll have to check. If we do I will die some up and if you are interested then you could let me know that check with crazy angler I think Bob should have that color.and while I am thinking about it guys do they make a turquoise powder paint. They do have some that come pretty close but I do not call it turquoise. azsllabber what kind of jig head are you using it looks like a jig insert with reset eyes.

    If it has a lot of Green in it then maybe it's Whitlock's Turquoise? He is a know fly tier and fly fisherman and some companies sell the color with his name on it because it's one of "his" colors.

    I have 2 different shades of Turquoise and his is more Green.

    I will also say thought from the picture I can't really tell. Computers are also hard to tell if it's the shade think it is.

    I think this is it...

    Skip,that is a little too green.Like a shade bluer then what you are showing.The reason I am asking is that I went to an Urban lake the other night right before dark and made 3 cast with a white jighead like the 1/10 oz. Ultra Minnow and that turquoise colored jig and caught 3 nice bluegills with it.Then hung it up and when I got home had enough of a feather to make that jig shown,lol.That's the head Snake.Now,I want more,Ha

    I do have some that is more blue and has the name Turquoise, but I think it looks more Lt. Blue. I got them from different places, but I do have two of them and also some FL Blue which is close to the one not pictured.

    Here is the other before the crappie about ate most of the tail off over a couple weeks that I fished it. The picture seems to be a bit more blue and darker blue than it is, but not by much. These are the only two I have seen or tried that are called Turquoise.

    One other thing to keep in mind, you can buy a color today and next month buy it again and it will be different. It all comes down to the die, the mix of the fie and how long it's in the die. So who is doing that makes a difference.
