Wow!! They all look awesome to me.
I love the organization of the storage system(s) too.
YES, Patrick at Woods and Water Outdoors can hook you up with the teal. I believe the ginger chenille if that’s the one you see came from Skip. (Skiptomylu)Quote:

Awesome looking paints. Also try with white base coat and without, sometimes makes a big difference.Quote:

Timber,,,,is t that all that matters,,,,most of my jigs most likely will never see water…unfortunately….Quote:

You might not find the exact color, but you'll find some stuff you wouldn't normally see in a lot of these shops that sell it. I have a silver/grey color chenille that has metal flake in it. I have enough to tie more jigs than I'll ever need. I got one in the grey, one black and one white for $6 around thanksgiving. Yes six bucks for more chenille than I can shake a stick at! Hobby Lobby is your friend when it comes to chenille and yarn for jig bodies. Sometimes they get good feathers and faux feathers in as well. They sell BOAs in black, white, green, orange, red, mutli-colored and you can use them in just about any jig you tie. It really depends on how picky you are.
Before I get blasted for pushing a big box store. Where do you think some of the shops get it? BIG BOX distributors, who sell to "Local" vendors. ;) I support our local shops too, remember I said you might not find the exact color you are looking for. That's when I msg's Skip. ;)
