Also added it to your comment at other place, but thought it may have a better chance of you seeing it here.

Thanks Skeetbum and I like the colors too. Purple with either Chart or Yellow have been getting more and more popular. That is because it catches fish. The first ones I ever tied were regular jigs that was LSU colors because a couple guys had a bet between Ark. & LSU game. Since then lots of other ways to use Purple have come to the front in way more than just one state for sure.

If I was a fish I would eat it just to kill it if nothing else. Is really close to the school colors for my kids too.

I was only thinking of a two toned tail but I like your three split WAY better. I can't wait to get this unpacking done from our move to get back tying but a few other things have come up that are going to delay it but winter hasn't really hit yet.

Thanks buddy I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skip, very nice looking jig. Nice clean crisp paint job. I have a question for you if you don't mind answering. How do you get your black eyes so clean looking on those jigs?

I use a drill bit that has a flat back end. If I use vinyl then I sometimes don't put an over coat, but if I do I use the clear vinyl and if I use some Acrylic then I put a coat of Sally Henson's Hard as Nails.

One thing about this though, if I am painting over Chart or Fl Yellow even using the Acrylic I use the Clear Vinyl because the nail polish discolors the paint.
