Tied on a 1/12oz Minnow head with #4 Blood sickle, Candy Purple paint, Copper #10 Tensile chenille and feather's I got from a Tool & Material's Swap. I understand they are Saddle Hackle feathers from a hen. They're short & curved like duck flank. 1 is Barred Yellow and 1is Barred Wine. Then 4 strands of Silver "Icicles" for flash (also from the T&M Swap).

That's actually Candy Purple on top of a real shiny head. It looks about the same on top of chrome or silver as a base coat.
