I tied one of each of the Pearl Chenille I purchased this past week and will see which one will be the best this Fall if any!! I have not been out fishing since Father's Day because of the heat.....

i like the one with the dark red body
I tell you Len I would use any of them, but that Christmas Jig or the one I call that I have probably caught more on it than any color there is. Of course that is on this lake, but if the water is a bit stained I wouldn't even think about it, that one would have to get wet to see for sure. If the water is more clear I would for sure try that one in the middle first, or I really love mu Silver/Blue/White and many guys here on this lake that is a big hit here and some will not even use another color, but I love my Silver/Silver/Blue too. I tell you when the water is pretty stained I would combine a few of your colors, but this is just me and what I know works for me; FL Yellow/Chart/Pink or FL Yellow Fuchsia/Chart. Now I was never a big kip yail guy until spring of 2010 and the jig that changed me forever is the bottom one in this picture and I know this thing will catch crappie and big ones...

These were the first two of that jig head I ever tied and were samples, went down to my bank to just see and had a bobber about 18" above it and in just a few minutes I had 4 with the smallest 14". I just pitched it about a foot or two off the bank right next to me and got all of them right there. I was stunned! So began my love for these little jigs and I used some in other colors this last spring and caught fish. I have a guy in Louisiana that fishes these most of the time and just kills the crappie.
So I am also thinking if you tied one like you have above and used the same colors FL Yellow/Red/Chart you could do really well!

Thanks yellowjacket!
Skip....Thanks for the information on the colors.Great information for me to try.Will add these combos to my list!!
I love the the 3 on the right side the most! Great jigs Len.
they all look like deadly jigs to me I would use all of them in the fall.
Take yer pick id use any of them sweet looking jigs len
Once the water gets cold the blue/white will be a killer. I bet they all do great this fall. Very nice looking jigs.Thumbs Up
Sweet work and clean finishes. All would have a time n place in my box. The pink n purple has been my best jig for last couple weeks and has really been keeping me eating good.
Love that pink head chartruse body on the right side. All of them look good. Great tying job!
Your welcome Len and I promise the colors I mentioned will work on most any body of water given the right conditions and some will work on most any kind of condition. Sometimes I will even change if it gets cloudy to a more like chart/blue/chart where I had been using say silver/blue/white with the sun out. The silver/silver/blue in my Sig is deadly!Quote:

Thanks for sharing those two patterns.
