How do you guys get custom chenile made? How much do you have to order to get it?
You don't have to get it made......Crazy Angler Tackle in Winona, Tx
carries at least 100 different colors. Go to his website to look at colors!
Grandpa Bob also carries it.
CrazyAnglerTackle.com
Have looked at both and barlow and havent seen exactly what I want.
Then either call or email and explain what you're looking for, flat (crazyangler)seem to be able to get weird colors made up.

the best advice is from the guys here. I will tell you of my experience with the manufacture we had custom Chanel made by a leading manufacture I have to by over $500 worth to get what I want and of course it would take you a lifetime to use that much up. So the best advice I can give you let the guys already told you crazy angler and Bob are the best bet.Quote:

I have done 3 color mixes that work just fine. Also mixing medium with ultra will give you different looks. Some of my favs - black med./pearl cactus - peacock med./white ultra - tobacco brown/black...... just mix whatever you want.
Is that what you did on the green/white chenile on your jig in the smallie swap? That was nice.
Could you post some pics of those you mentioned?
Gonna call but will try that too.
Soswine - Yes, that was using olive and white twisted together. Heck, i rarely use a single color anymore.... silver or gold tinsel twisted in with just about any color looks good. ;)
Here is a few i do have pics of....
medium black chenille / pearl cactus chenille (looks WAY better in hand, hard to see the pearl in pic. :()

Looks nice Attica and like the rabbit too.
Thanks Skip, yeah i am kind hooked (pun intended) on the zonkers. My back pocket doesn't like them all that much but thats just the way it's gonna have to be i guess. ;)
Attica :That there is a good tip. Will keep it in the memory bank and will have to use it one of these days. I know it will come in handy.
