My brother in law from Pennsylvania shipped me 4 killed this year bucktails.And a half dozen grey squirrel tails.I want to dye the tails,I know that one will be chartuse,the others I'm not sure of yet.If you could only have 4 different color bucktails what would they be for crappie jigs?And what is the best dye to use?Never dyed one before.
White - No dye needed ;)
Gray
Olive or drab green & orange- But these would be more for smallie jigs. :D
Those are my most used colors anyway.
With buck tail crappie jigs, I use almost only white and gray. A blue color might be nice......
you can try koolaide boiling water at 190 Deg.w/a table spoon,or a lil better of white vinegar to create color fasting...
Then there's Cushings perfection dyes.They work well w/ the exception of Blk.and some reds.There a bit more costly too.
Mega project Tye dye kits by Rainbow rock Inc.These can be purchased at any wall mart at reasonable pricing...
Lots a stuff out there bud"take ya pick.
can anyone help me find a 200ct.of 1/100oz.round unpainted" heads w/ no collars ,#10 or #12 hooks of any kind???pm. me please.Thanks
grubs"
try grousefly for the jigheads
White, Chartreuse, maybe FL yellow or Fl Orange and any other color you like.
So far I'm going with chartruese and grey.
olive, chartreuse, fl. Orange , ginger
Well,I'll be back in smallmouth terratory in the spring.Moving back to Pa.Why does my life have to be so complicated,lol.
For crappie I'd say white,chartreuse,pink and lt.gray for those shad baits.I use Cushing's perfection dyes but some guys here on cc have had great success with koolaid. Cushing's is faster,I've dyed four different colors with same pot in an hour,each packet will dye a lb. dry weight of materials.I buy mine on ebay for $2.95 per packet,about 50 or more colors to choose from.
Good info.Cushing's it is.
I have 15 different colors of bucktail but if I had to pick four, they would
be, ginger, fl orange, black and chartreuse. Also natural which gives you
white and black. This would cover "pinkies" for crappie, chart/black for everything and caution......my original four may be tainted like Attica's
for those smallies!!!!!!!!!
White, chart, pink and black

White, gray, green chartreuse, hot pink are my best sellers. Usually a top colored and white bottom. Search for bucktails and you'll find a bunch of mine plus a how to tie a striper sized jig. Downsize for crappie or use kiptail.
I have a blue/chart tied that I like a lot. Will let you know what the judges say. Black, chart, white and ....., and....., and.....Oh I just have to have more than 4!!!
