I like this color too, what about you?
Purple is so hard to capture in a photo and sometimes I can and sometimes it's just not quite there. Tried my little studio too and didn't help as much as I wanted.

You captured the color nicely.
Purple came through just fine, nice looking jig.

Those eyes are killer looking.Like the color!
good looking jig skip one kind of glue do you use IM using guerrilla superglue . it works super good matter-of-fact sometimes to good. We had this same problem is you had about gluing eyes we seem to get it on the eyeball because the eyes are so small.
looks good 1 thing ive noticed about you skip you like charteruse yellow dont you? lol i do to, hard to go wrong with it
WOW I realy like, its to perdy to fish. looks more like a piece of jewlery.
Thanks guys, and actually I do like the yellow chart a lot, but use a lot of the Fl Chart like this one too. If you see the eyes in your hand they would look more green.
Bob I am using Zap Gel glue.

Skip,
Have you tried tying one of these heads using a Zonker Strip?
Not yet Len, but I am sure it's coming soon. I have some new different kind of rabbit I have not showed yet and this may be one place I may try it. Had it for a couple months now and just have not tied anything with it and I have been wanting to since I got it. Some times I make my self crazy waiting for some kind of something I see that makes me say " that's it", but not yet. I know it sounds crazy, but a lot of what I do and try that is new I wait until something inside me says that quote just now said.
I also think on this head it would be good for both kinds of strips so that is probably what I will try first with the rabbit and then, maybe the new stuff that is awesome.

It's a beauty!! Purple body with char tail is my best combo and start with that combo everytime.
What is the size?
That is very close to 1/16 with #4 Sickle hook. Heck I thought they were 1/8, but when I actually weighed them they are very close to the 1/16 oz.Quote:

I am torn on that combo, those are my college fraternity colors but they are also LSU's colors. What is a Hog fan to do?? I hold one side of my nose:D
I actually really like that combo.
Where do the heads come from? Never seen those around here anywhere.
Thanks,Quote:

Just wait until you see the stuff I just got in, LOL!

If you tie up a burnt orange and white job, I'm liable to throw eggs at the computer.:mad:
Hey that might be a fun swap to do sometime...favorite college team colors?
How does the purple and char work on the fishes? I have used purple/white with decent success but not the other.
Both Purple and Chart and Purple and yellow are good on crappie. I have some burnt Orange, LOL! One of my little Roadrunner I posted had a Burnt Orange Tail, LOL! Actually Burnt Orange makes for some good crawfish colors. Not sure I would combine it with White though even though UT is in Texas.Quote:

It went for a couple years and the guy from Ark finally gave up that bet, but before that I did like 4 different LSU colors. Oh and also did Auburn. I am not really a LSU fan, but their colors are good fishing colors.
Have done both of them, and Cleveland browns and the Steelers. Of course I also did the Cowboys.
If you check out my Jigs page they are on there.

May have to try some purple/char and purple/yellow then. Almost did a purple/dun combo last night but ran out of time. Have you tried that?
Did a quick run thru your stuff and am sure I will be continually referring to it. One of my inspiration pages.;)
i love that combo i do it all the time just not with catus
I like it. U may have already said, but what and where did u get the tail material?
The tail is just neck hackle tied my way.Quote:
