Ok...yesterday I tied my first blue combo jig. Not sure why...but blue just never appealed to me as a good color for crappie. I hear otherwise from some folks. Apparently , I have been missing out all this time. If you are hot on blue...show me your creations and get me motivated. I have to try this out for myself you know, and need some ideas of what works. Thanks in advance.

can't post pics, but grandpa bobs has a new age chenille that is called winter run blue I think, it's a medium dark blue with silver mixed in, and I use it on marabou jigs with a chart. head and tail. it's killer in darker water.
This one has been working well for me. Caught a nice walleye on it too. Copenhagen blue rayon chenille I got from crazyangler

I use a lot of blue colors in my jigs and it's one of my favorite colors to fish with. Either the body or tail or both and I like them best in clear water (to me clear water is where you can see your jig about 3' or more down in the water. I favor the lighter blue's but do have a number of dark Blue shades as well.
Here is one of my favorites.

I'm no tyer but I can tell ya blues definitely catch fish on my lake.Thumbs Up Those are some great looking jigs guys.:)
Dont use it much, cept in gravel pits with clearER water, but this is what I'll usually pitch. Looks better with a set of eyes, but I've gotten lazy.

If it's to your liking I'll tie a couple dozen up for you and head en your way when I get some more eyes.
Keep the pics coming !! Bunch of talented folks out there. I'm enjoying them immensely.

I like the witch doctor chenille too, a friend designed this one and I tied a few for him and he's done pretty well with them.

Skeeter, I think I recognize those heads. Good looking jigs everyone. I tie a bare lead head, blue chenille, and a white tail of your choice of materials. Works really good around here.
Thanks so much guys for the pics and ideas. I didn't have any blue chennille in my supplies yet....and these are my first 2 attempts at using blue.
Hoosier, those will do the trick. While you're looking into different chenille's, try to get a look at the rayon used for wooly buggers. It has a bit of flash in it that dresses them up nice. Nice ties.
