Very nice really stands out. Gary

now I think I want some more! Tied this today with one of the samples I got from Skip.

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).

what type of blue on the head are you using.

what type of blue on the head are you using.

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.
