Watermellon Ghost

Tried to copy the big bite's soft plastic grub...need to get olive hackle and I think I'm close!Attachment 98629

I am not familiar with that soft plastic so can't say much about that. Try using a flash so the pic is not so dark or use software to lighten it up. I always adjust mine for lighting using Microsoft Office Picture Editor on my PC and the camera software that came on my MAC. I also have used Roxio PhotoSuite on my PC. You can get the picture to look just like you see them.

Used camera on phone will take another tonight with good camera. Have a friend who caught a bunch monday on that color trying to match

Not sure I know enough about that soft plastic, but Other than just Olive you can get a Golden Olive marabou that looks great. Seems Olive some in several shades so look close if you go find some.

yes, also read that article about the colors being opaque I think this watermellon ghost meets that...on a mission to get it close...your right in craft hair found like 3 olive colors all slightly diffrent...will try again.

Very nice liftbite56. Your colors are very close.The water mellon ghost color works real well on our area lakes.

Skip is correct!!! Olive just in chenille comes in at least 5 colors and I have 2 shades of maribou in olive. Matching something can get to be addictive!!!!!!!!

Looks like a monster. And real close to what Len posted. Don't worry about the pic, that' looks darn close n sure it'll fill the quota.
Finding a prettier way to show it is less time fishing with it.
I like it lots. Wishing I had some similar colors to give it a shot.

Great jig!

Thx for the ideas.
