Looking for opinions about this blue (Pic)

I got this color Blue in regular chenille and some special chenille and want to know if any of you like it. I have never used it yet, but know some that do.

Would live your opinions about the body color and maybe a few suggestions as to what head and tail colors would you use with it. These were tied with my normal colors to use with other blue shades that I personally know work on most lakes and work well.

Skip,
Great color choices. The blue gives the jigs soft contrast.I like the silver-blue-and white the best.
What is the name of the blue color?

I like it Skip. White and blue is a killer combo.

I am brand spankin' new to jig tying so I'm not sure how much my opinion on this will matter, but I'll throw it out there anyway.

First off, I really like that color blue. I have used similar colors in soft plastics before. I think it resembles the iridescent blue hue that shiners and gizzards have when they turn and light catches their sides. When I am fishing lighter color jigs, I usually put them on a regular lead head or a white painted head. That's just what has worked for me with plastics.

I guess if I were to suggest a tail color I would have to say that white tail in the second picture looks pretty good and I also like the unpainted lead head. However, you might also try a white head on there. You could could put a small black eye/dot on the head to go with the whole gizzard theme.

These are just my thoughts. You're the expert. I'd like to see some pics of it on some more jigs when you decide how you want to use it.

Thanks guys for the opinions for sure. I think maybe soon I will decide what to do other than what is above.

Black Crow......just so you know that jig head is painted silver and if I want a plan unpainted head look I use clear powder paint.

White I almost never used until this last spring and I had some jigs that really worked very well that had a white head with big black eyes so maybe your suggestion is a good one. I will check it out!

Thanks again guys,

Skip

I think if you go with a pearl or off white head, the blue chenile collar and some crystal flash or artic fox tail in white for the tail might give you a good color scheme for that color chenile.

But I gotta tell you that chartruse head and tail hackle with the blue collar looks like it should be a good one, never tried those colors together before but they just seem to meld together. If I were gonna go with your second jig I think the only thing I'd do is put some black eyes on it to make it look like a newly hatched minnow.
