    Hi, I have been trying a little tying mainly bream jigs, These are all extra nice. Would you mind listing the material used for the Lemon/Lime. Thanks

    Its been a while since I tied them, but I believe the Powder Paint was Lemon Lime and I added some Metal Flake Silver Holigtaphic. The body is Purple Crystal and the tail is my special Chartreuse I had special dyed. Still the regular Chartreuse Hackle is close enough, but once when Hareline has to change their brand of dye their Chartreuse came out with less Green and closer to the Yellow Chartreuse, kind of inbetween. Anyway I just happened to order a pound at that time and fell in love with that shade so as soon as I could I ask them to make more like it, so I had to send them a feather to match and had to buy 2 1/2 pounds before they would make me a special color. Anyway I still tie with it a lot and hold on to what I have of it. It really pops in the sun and in the water!
